Commissioner Brauer stated he understands what the applicant is trying to do, since he lives next to the property, but they are trying to avoid someone buying a lot and starting a business ten miles from home. Community Development Director Frolik stated that could not happen anymore, since accessory structures can no longer be built unless a home is present on the parcel.

Absent: Commissioners Johnson and Shepherd. #7 Public Hearing for Proposed Amendments to Chapter 9 Consultant Gordon explained that this was the public hearing for the changes reviewed during the April Planning Commission meeting. He noted they are going from three business districts to two, and gave a brief overview of each of the districts. Chairperson Nixt clarified these changes follow the adopted Comprehensive Plan. Consultant Gordon confirmed they did. Citizen Input Steve Blakemore, 13659 Dolomite Street NW, stated there is a section of B3 east of his property that is going to B2, but the new Comprehensive Plan shows that is should be going to low density residential. Winslow Halasek, of 1159 Andover Boulevard, owns the subject property and stated he wished to have it remain commercial. Chairperson Nixt explained that change would require a minor amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. The owner asked why he was not notified this change was taking place. Chairperson Nixt stated there have been public meetings on this issue for several years. Planning Commission/May 1, 2003 Page 12 of 17
