7.02: Request for Interim Use Permit for Go Cart Track at 14550 Armstrong Boulevard; Case of Karl Janzen Senior Planner Gladhill reviewed the staff report. City Engineer Himmer noted the Fire Marshall has reviewed this case. This development will be built to State codes, and the fuel storage will be carefully monitored. Every racer needs their own fire extinguisher. The applicant must mow grass within 24 hours of use to minimize fires. The owner has agreed to all terms, and these terms will be in the permit as well. Councilmember Wise pointed out this is a city -owned property. This is a joint venture with Mr. Janzen and the City to raise funds for Happy Days. Motion by Councilmember Wise, seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to adopt Resolution #11- 05 -101 to adopt Findings of Fact #0886 related to the request for an Interim Use permit to allow for commercial outdoor recreation for the operation of a go cart track and to adopt Resolution #11 -05 -102 approving the Interim Use Permit based on findings of fact and contingent upon compliance with the City Staff Review letter dated April 28, 2011. Further discussion: Councilmember Backous inquired who would pay for the utilities if they have to be moved. Senior Planner Gladhill replied the fees will be borne by the developer. The estimates are rather high and are not feasible to bring forward. The request is for Council approval contingent on securing an agreement with Connexus. Motion carried.
