Commissioner Dempsey inquired if the use of the detached building would require a separate Certificate of Occupancy. Community Development Director Frolik replied that that would be a question for the building inspector, but she would assume so. Commissioner Kociscak stated that the original findings of fact should be considered when making a decision on this case. Commissioner Dempsey inquired if the previous findings of fact were written prior to construction of the detached building or after. Community Development Director Frolik replied that they were written during construction. Commissioner Dempsey stated that he did not think that the previous findings of fact were relevant at this time. Chairperson Nixt stated that the current request is for an interim use permit which would allow the applicant to complete the structure and giving them time to construct the breeze way. The accessory structure is already connected by a tunnel, the structure already exists and he sees mitigating circumstances and want to assure that they won't be looking at a 50 foot wall and give them the relief they are asking for and give the residents the relief they want by limiting their use. Commissioner Kociscak inquired if the business could operate without the living quarters. Ms. Smith replied that it would be easier for the nurse to have her own living area because it becomes very stressful living on-site, but they could operate without the additional living quarters. Chairperson Nixt inquired as to what the area would be used for if it is not used as a living quarters. Ms. Smith replied that it would be left vacant. Chairperson Nixt inquired if the applicant would be willing to work with staff on some type of landscaping plan around the building. Ms. Smith replied yes.
