She explained Mission Veterinarians would be a great <br />addition to the community. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lambeth thanked Mr. Routhe for his service to the country. <br /> <br />Commissioner Subramanian asked how often the medical waste was picked up. <br /> <br />Ms. Routhe explained this was not picked up twice a week every week because the facility does <br />not generate that much medical waste. <br /> <br />Mr. Anderson reported he would be running the business much the same and did not anticipate <br />generating more waste. <br /> <br />Chair Gehrig opened the public hearing at 6:47 p.m. <br /> <br />Chair Gehrig invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make comment. <br /> <br />There being no comment Chair Gehrig closed the public hearing at 6:47 p.m. <br /> <br />Commissioner Vijums moved and Commissioner Lambeth seconded a motion to <br />recommend approval of Planning Case 19-017 for a Conditional Use Permit Amendment at <br />1261 County Road E, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by <br />the conditions in the January 8, 2020 Report to the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wicklund stated he was not certain Condition 5 had to be included in the <br />motion. He made a friendly amendment to remove Condition 5 from the motion for approval. <br /> <br />Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained Condition 5 was added to <br />allow the City Council the flexibility to address any future concerns should a complaint be <br />received regarding the number of dogs being boarded on the property. <br /> <br />Chair Vijums supported Condition 5 being removed. <br /> <br />The amended motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />B.
