Ron West suggested bringing up to the City council the question of whether or not a survey would be needed in this case being the owner will retain ownership- Motion by Gerald zimmerman and seconded by Ben Deemer to recommend to City council and Board of Adjustment that Mr. Raymond Mox be allowed to subdivide his ten-acre parcel located on the southwest corner of 161st Avenue N.W. and Armstrong Blvd. into two five-acre lots. Ron West suggested that a Certificate of Survey not be required because there will be no deed transferred and it will stay in the present owner'S n~e. Motion carried 7-0. 2. Z_~on~blems; Case of Good Value Home~S chairman Peterson said that it is difficult to get loans on a Conditional Use permit. The banks want to see a more permanent document like zoning ordinance- He stated th~s is a zoning problem. Ron West said he felt the corner there is ideal for a savings and loa~ or a bank, but if the city makes the area industrial the bank would not want to be next to a manufacturing business such as Good Value HomeS. He said he would like to see if anything is done that it be temporary- Ben Deemer said there has always been building and selling of campers on the site. Ron West noted Good Value Homes is just renting the building and are not the ownerS. The consenSUS of the commision was to go ahead with the Conditional Use ~ permit with th~ idea they would like to keep it a business area in the future. City Administrator schnelle said the city has had problems constantly in that area with zoning and the bankers do not like to loan money on Conditional Use permits. Ben Deemer said he felt the busineSS fits the zoning there because he is selling his product retail and not wholesale to someone else to sell. chairman peterson read the motion from the P & Z commission minutes of August 4, 1980 on determining permitted uses in B-1 zoning. "Motion by chairman peterson and seconded by Gerald zimmerman to recommend that city staff use as a basis for determining permitted uses the general definition of ,'businesS" listed in the City code." Ron West suggested giving them a conditional Use permit and when they move on, it will be back to the B-1 that it should be. He said he felt it is a prime location for B-1. Chairman peterson said he and city Administrator schnelle discussed whether or not light industrY or light ~anufact~ring would be appropriate for this area. p & Z Regular Meeting Page 3 9/2/80
