• • a) That Mr. Morton indicate the North driveway as the entrance and exit and show on the Site Plan where parking and turnaround would be. b) That he limit his sales to trees, plants and shrubbery. c) That he bring in a scale sketch plan. Motion carried 5 -0. 4. Discussion of Uses in Commercial Areas Ben Deemer said it had come to his attention that the City Council was going to allow an upgraded use in an industrial zone, namely a grocery store called Ralph's Country Meats. He felt that in view of the recent request to zone it "industrial ", it should be rezoned "business" or Ralph's Country Meats should be required to build in a B -1 zone. He said his basic cbjection is the recent rezoning. Harry Ellis said he didn't want any commercial north of the railroad tracks because cars would have to come across the tracks to get to it. There was much discussion in this matter. It was the consensus of the commission that B -1 activity should not take place in an industrial zone and the parcel should be rezoned or the business should not take place there. 5. Proposed Ordinance Change After a short discussion, it was the consensus of the commission to table this issue until next meeting to get a copy of the ordinance for review. 6. Budget Review Chairman Peterson informed the commission that he would be going before the Budget Committee and he asked for their feelings on his asking for $20.00 per meeting for the commission members, and $25.00 per meeting for the Chairman of the P & Z Commission. It was the consensus of the commission to authorize Chairman Peterson to ask for $20.00 /meeting for commission members and $25.00 /meeting for the Commission Chairman at the Budget Committee Meeting. City Administrator Schnelle said he had intentions of asking for additional staff for planning and zoning duties because there has to be better documentation. He said he was going to tell the budget committee what is needed and let them decide on it. The motion made at the last commission meeting on hiring a person was noted. It stated that the commission recommended to the City Council that they consider hiring a full -time professional -type person to take care of the city's needs in the Planning & Zoning area. • P & Z Regular Meeting Page 6 10/7 /80
