property is zoned commercial. Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that a sign could be justified <br />because the parcel and surrounding area is zoned commercial. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Kociscak, to close the public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Anderson, Commissioners Nixt, Kociscak, Dempsey, <br />and Johnson. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Jensen and Wivoda. <br /> <br />The public hearing closed at 8:02 p.m. <br /> <br />Commission Business <br /> <br />Chairperson Anderson called the regular meeting of the Planning Commission back to order at <br />8:02 p.m. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nixt questioned if the maximum of 18 cats refers to adult cats only. Ms. Cobey <br />stated that she has 12 cages that could house two cats each and that she also wants to build a 6 <br />cage nursery for moms and their kittens. Ms. Cobey stated that she could have 24 adult cats and <br />6 females in the nursery area for a maximum of 30 cats and still be approved by CFA. <br /> <br />It was determined that the "18" cats in the proposed permit was derived from the number of <br />cages proposed and a correction to the proposed number of cats is necessary. Zoning <br />Administrator Frolik suggested a limit on the number of adult cats and defining when a kitten is <br />considered a adult. Ms. Cobey stated kittens are marketed at about 8-12 weeks of age. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nixt stated #7 of the Findings of Fact should state that the proposal is for a <br />maximum of 24 cats, 16 weeks of age and older, on the property at any given time. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Nixt, to recommend that City <br />Council adopt Findings of Fact in the affirmative relating to Bonita Cobey's request for a home <br />occupation permit. <br /> <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Anderson, Commissioners Johnson, Nixt, Dempsey, <br />and Kociscak. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Jensen and Wivoda. <br /> <br />The Commission proceeded to review the proposed Home Occupation Permit. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson suggested changing item #2 to read 24 cats older than 16 weeks of age <br />and that the applicant may construct a 4 x 8 business sign, respectively. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nixt stated that item #3 should read "relating to the operation of the cattery" <br />instead of "relating to the cats". <br /> <br />Planning Commission/May 4, 1999 <br /> Page 5 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
