Ken Peterson asked for commission comment, and Mr. Dunn stated that he feels the City has enough of this type ofbusiness in residential areas, and they have found out that granting c.u.p, just doesn't work citing an example on Hematite Street which has caused concern to the City. Kathy Schneider stated that it would be too'hard to Set conditions which would cover all the possible problems which could arise. MotiQn by Art Dunn, seconded by Gerry Zimmerman to ~ecommend to the. City Council to deny the request of'Mr. St. Hilaire for a'C. U. P. at 15428 Nowthen Blvd. due to the foliowing findings of' fact: 1.) The area is currently zoned R-1. 2,) The parcel involved'is extremely open and exposed to the adjacent property owners view' without natumal screening and artifical screening would detract from the area. 3.) According to Mr. St. Hilaire there is noticeable noise and long hours. Motion carried 7-0.

Mr. Richard Cich, 6440 170th N.W stated that he was opposed to Mr. Klemish not meeting the 2.5 acre lot size requirement and that he didn't feel their roads could handle the extra traffic. Ken Peterson stated that this was not a Public Hearing and that now Mr. Klemish would be aware of their concerns. Kathy Schneider stated that this was not close enough to the P & Z Commissions original recommendation of considering lots that were close to the 2.5 acre requirement. Mr. Jeff Caine stated That this sketch was close to what the Council had recommended. Peter Raatikka stated that the Council had told Mm. Klemish that they would like to see total density of 2.5 acres. Mr. Art Dunn questioned who came up with the 2.5 acre density factor for this plat pointing out that the developers of Tierra Estates would probably have benefitted from the same and where does the Commission draw the line. Mm. Klemish replied that this was a special situation since the City wanted park land along the brook. Gerry Zimmerman stated that if we give a variance in this case, we will be hard pressed to turn others down.
