He noted that since last month's meeting, the applicant has stated they are no longer interested in constructing a building to perform vehicle repairs. The applicant does still wish to have a guard shack at the Elk River property entrance to monitor site access. Staff does have concerns about the shack being a place for an employee to sleep. The applicant would like the shack to include office space and security devices. The applicant states that the 5x5 size is too small and suggested something like a job site trailer as a temporary solution until a permanent structure is built. Mr. Leeseberg stated the permanent structure will be required to meet the 13 building standards and code. He asked the Planning Commission to provide feedback on their preference for the use of a temporary guard shack or a permanent structure to provide site monitoring and office space. Mr. Leeseberg also requested feedback on a completion date for Conditions 1, 7, 9, 10, 11, 16, 18, and 19. Chair Beise opened the public hearing.
