The Commission proceeded to review the proposed findings of fact. The Commission noted Staffs concern regarding recreational vehicle sale:, not being the highest use of property soon to have sewer and water available to it and possibly not being compatible with development planned in this area for the futt:re. The Commission felt that placing a time frame on the conditional use permit to insure it's availability for development with a higher use when sewer and Water is available is not critical because if and when there is a demand for sewered industrial prOperty, economics will cause the owners to re- evaluate the best use of the property. ' i Robert McElhaney stated that he would not be adverse to a 3 year time frame on the conditional use permit. Planning Assistant Frolik noted that G,O. Racing will continue to occupy the shop area of the existing building, but from a public Safety standpoint, she is concerned with a third use at the property which involves some minor~tractor/trailer activity. The Commission did not share Ms. Frolik's concern; Motion by Commissioner Bawden and ieconded by Commissioner Deemer to recommend that City Council adopt the proposed:.findings of fact relating to Robert McElhaney and Mark Manthei's request for a conditional USe permit to operate a recreational vehicle sales lot in the I-1 Industrial District.

Further Discussion: Commissioner Hendriksen stated that he was of the understanding that the City Attorney has indicated that S~ate Statute does not allow establishing times frames on conditional use permits. 'Mr. Otto stated that the City Attorney is not comfortable with placing time frames on conditional use permits; however, the City has issued conditional use permits for tire processing and vertical expansion of the landfill with time frames. Commissioner Hendriksen stated that ff it is the City's desire to see the recreational vehicle sales lot terminate in a short period of time, the request should be approached from a different perspective.
