The Commission discussed whether they should allow the conditional use permit on the entire forty acre parcel or just the westerly 4-1/2 acres as proposed by Mr. Wirz. The Commission also discussed whether the property should be rezoned; the Commission noted that the City has more control with a conditional use permit. A rezoning of that property would have greater potential impacts to the neighbors than a conditional use permit. The Commission noted that Finding #3 should be amended to reflect only the west 4-1/2 acres of Mr. Wirz' property. The Commission amended Finding #9 to read as follows: 9. That there are other similar permitted conditional uses in the area. Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner LaDue to adopt Findings of Fact #0148 (Please refer to Findings of Fact file) relating to Mr. Wirz' request for a conditional use permit to operate a nursery and retail sales in the R-IR Residential district. Motion carried. Voting yes: Chairman Peterson, Commissioners Deemer, Zimmerman, Howell, Hendriksen and LaDue. Voting no: None. Absent: Commissioner Shumway. The Commission discussed requiring retail sales to be confined to ony 800 square feet of the building, that Mr. Wirz only be allowed to sell nursery and landscaping products, and that Mr. Wirz provide screening for any outside storage of materials other than trees or shrubs. Commissioner Howell noted that he would like to see a site plan before recommending approval of Mr. Wirz' request. Chairman Peterson suggested that Mr. Wirz provide a list of materials to be stored outside, show where the materials to be stored and where and what screening of these materials would be. The Commission agreed that they had no problems with Mr. Wirz' request; and asked Mr. Wirz about his hours of operation and whether he planned to surface the entrance and parking area. Mr. Wirz replied that he hoped to operate 7 days a week, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Mr. Wirz also stated that he would eventually surface his driveway and parking area. Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner Howell to table making a recommendation on Mr. Wirz' request to the November meeting pending additional information from Mr. Wirz regarding outside storage as requested. Motion carried. Voting yes: Chairman Peterson, Commissioners Deemer, Zimmerman, Howell, Hendriksen and LaDue. Voting no: None. Absent: Commissioner Shumway.
