that it is the Mayor who recommends the individuals for the Authority but that the Council would be asked to ratify that choice.

Case #4: Request for a Conditional Use Permit; Case of Anoka Congregation of Jehovah Witnesses Zoning Administrator Frolik reported that the City has received an application for a conditional use permit from the Congregation of Jehovah Witnesses to expand their church facility at 13751 Dolomite Street NW to include a utility shed for equipment storage purposes. The addition does not conflict with the 35% lot coverage restriction. The applicants are proposing to side the storage shed with vinyl siding. The shed is proposed to be 23 feet from the rear or south property line and it is not clear how far it will be from Dolomite Street or the west property line. The Planning Commission and City staff are recommending that the structure be sited on the property in accordance with the B-3 Highway Business District regulations. This would require the shed to be located 35 feet from the south property line and 20 feet from the west property line. Ms. Frolik noted that at the Planning Commission meeting, a representative of the congregation indicated that the structure could be located in accordance with these requirements. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and reviewed the request on November 2. There were no verbal or written comments submitted at the hearing. She noted that the applicant is present. Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt Resolution #98-11-281 adopting Findings of Fact #0479 relating to a request from the Anoka Congregation of Jehovah Witness for a conditional use permit to expand a conditional use in the Business District to include an accessory building. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Beyer, Beahen and Zimmerman. Voting No: None.
