Chairman Peterson read the "Purpose" (170.0164): "Conditional use permits are designed to meet the problem which arises where certain uses, although generally compatible with the basis use classification of a particular zone, should not be permitted to be located as a matter of right in every area included within the zone because of hazards inherent in the use itself or special problems which its proposed location may present." Chairman Peterson asked if the commission could get a copy of the Conditional Use Standards and Criteria prior to the meeting in the future so the members would have time to go over them ahead of time. City Administrator Schnelle said he would see that this is done. He said that city staff can't do a findings of fact for this, however. Chairman Peterson informed Ms. Cornelius that this item would be on the council agenda on the 28th of October, 1980. Ms. Cornelius asked if she could get other neighbors to write a letter in favor of her business. Chairman Peterson told Ms. Cornelius that it would be to her benefit to do so. 3. Conditional Use Permit to Sell Shrubs and Trees; Case of Stanley Morton Art Dunn asked Mr. Morton if he would be constructing any additional buildings. Mr. Morton said he would not be constructing any additional buildings. Art Dunn asked Mr. Morton if people would have to dig their own and he asked where they would be stored. Mr. Morton said they would be stored on the north side of his property back away from the highway 75 to 100 feet. He said he would be digging some and the people would be digging some. Ben Deemer suggested limiting it to one access and limiting his business to selling his own trees and shrubs and not having trees and shrubs brought in from the outside. The commission went over the "Standards for Consideration" (170.016D). a) The nature of the land upon which the use is to be located; - It is a residential with a lot of open space. There are all farms across the street and to the south and east. b) The nature of the adjoining land or buildings; - The adjoining land is agricultural. c) The proximity of a similar use; - It is surrounded by agricultural activity. 1111 P & Z Regular Meeting Page 4 10/3/80
