Councilmember DeLuca stated that his major concern is diseased trees and Mr. Gorecki's compliance with thc Diseased Tree Ordinance should be monitored; other than that, Mr. Gorec 'ki's business seems to be appropriate in the Industrial District. Councilmember Cich stated that he is also concerned with the spread of tree diseases but in the future, cases like this should probably be brought to Council for a point of clarification. Mr. Hartley noted that the discussion thus far indicates that there needs to be definitions for the various permitted uses in the Industrial District; the proper approach would be to have the Planning and Zoning Commission review some proposed definitions. In addition, the City Council is indicating that the type of business Mr. Gorecki conducts would be classified a supply yard. Mr. Hartley also noted that classifying Mr. Gorecki's operation as a supply yard is precedent setting. Councilmember Peterson stated that speaking as the former chairman, it was the intent of the Commission to write a zoning ordinance based on performance standards versus listing all the permitted uses and their definitions; the Planning and Zoning Commission should be directed to continue that effort and establish a more workable zoning ordinance that is easier to interpret. Motion by Councilmember Cich and seconded by Councilmember Pearson to direct City Staff to withdraw the complaint against Mr. Steve Gorecki of Outside Services, Inc. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers DeLuca, Pearson, Cich and Peterson. Voting No: None. Council consensus was that City Staff should not try to further interpret the zoning ordinance based on tonight's discussion but rather discuss with the Planning and Zoning Commission the need to establish performance standards for the entire City and generate some needed definitions. Council recessed at 9:07 p.m. Mayor Reimann called the special City Council meeting back to order at 9:27 p.m. Case #3: Nudity Ordinance Consideration: Police Chief Auspos was present and stated that Jimmy B's is conducting a striptease type of entertainment that was investigated by the County and found not to be in violation of State statute. However, the State statute does not apply specifically to striptease entertainment. Councilmember Peterson stated that there is no guarantee that other establishments choosing to offer striptease entertainment will choose the same guidelines for themselves as Jimmy B*s has and recommended that the City Council consider adopting a nudity ordinance to establish parameters in the event other establishments provide this type of entertainment.
