7.03: Consider Request for Interim Use Permit to Utilize a Membrane Tent Structure for a Secondary Showroom (Project#17-100); Case of Skeeter Boat Center Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report and recommendation of the Planning Commission to approve the request contingent with the structure being positioned behind the building and the applicant provide $2,000 financial surety to ensure the structure is removed by May 31, 2017. He recommended approval of Resolution #17-01-008 approving the Findings of Fact favorable to the applicant and Resolution #17-01-009 approving the request for an Interim Use Permit. Councilmember Kuzma referenced the $2,000 financial surety and asked if the applicant would receive the surety back in full as long as the structure is removed prior to the deadline. Community Development Director Gladhill confirmed that is correct. Councilmember Riley stated that he would like the City to be business friendly and suggested the surety amount to be split in half. Community Development Director Gladhill explained the City model, noting that the $2,000 has been used consistently. Mayor Strommen stated that she would like to ensure that the formula is applied uniformly. Councilmember LeTourneau stated that he understands that the business is growing and the needs that have arisen as a result. He stated that he would like to see a long-term solution and the business to work with staff to develop a more appropriate manner to handle their growth. He stated that he is in favor of this at this time but would like to see a long-term solution. He believed that the $2,000 financial surety would be appropriate but noted that he could support $1,000. He noted that he would like the temporary structure to be a one and done deal. Councilmember Johns agreed that this could get the business through this situation but would also want to see a long-term solution. Motion by Councilmember LeTourneau, seconded by Councilmember Kuzma, to Adopt Resolution #17-01-008 Adopting Findings of Fact #0976 Relating to a Request for an Interim Use Permit to Erect and Maintain a Temporary Membrane Tent Structure as a Secondary Showroom and Adopt Resolution #17-01-009 Approving the Issuance of an Interim Use Permit to Erect and Maintain a Temporary Membrane Tent Structure as a Secondary Showroom Based on the Findings of Fact#0976 and Declaring Terms of Same.
