Presentation <br /> <br />Planning Consultant Scalzo stated the applicants were issued a one-year interim use permit in <br />July 1997 for the utilization of a 720 square foot modular office, which has since expired and <br />been reissued for an additional year so they could complete their assessment of space needs for <br />expansion or relocation. The applicants now request another interim use permit to utilize the <br />modular office structure until their lease of the property terminates on October 31, 2003. The <br />City would like to see additional screening along County Road #116 and suggests the placement <br />of a berm behind the existing tree line which could be vegetated with additional landscaping. <br />Staff recommends approval of the request, with the permit requiring the continued screening of <br />berming and trees along Unity Street across the front of the property and parallel to Industry <br />Avenue (C.R. #116). The City is willing to participate in this site improvement because it will <br />initiate necessary screening from the residential use across the street. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Wivoda, to close the public hearing. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Anderson, Commissioners Nixt, Wivoda, Dempsey, <br />Jensen, Johnson, and Kociscak. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />The public hearing closed at 7:09 p.m. <br /> <br />Commission Business <br /> <br />Commissioner Kociscak stated that the total time of the interim use permits would be six years, <br />and he questioned if this was normal. <br /> <br />Planning Consultant Scalzo replied that the City has previously issued permits for the use of <br />temporary office structures for two years or more in the industrial district, most recently to <br />Listul, Waste Management and Amcor. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jensen suggested giving only an additional year to prompt the applicant to do <br />something permanent. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nixt stated since the applicant only leases the land it would appear there is no <br />intention for something permanent. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Nixt, to table the request until <br />the December meeting at which time the applicant should appear for questioning. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/November 8, 1999 <br /> Page 4 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
