Motion by Commission Member McLean, seconded by Commission Member Kilian <br />to recommend to Council that the C-1 Districts be rezoned to match the adjoining <br />parcels subject to approval by the City Attorney. Ayes – 4, Nays – 0, Abstain – 1 <br />(Wilharber). Motion carried. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wilharber abstained from voting because he said he feels there had to be a <br />reason why the property was zoned C-1 and he does not think it would have taken much <br />to add it to the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />VI. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />1. Consideration of Mr. and Mrs. Carlie Olson’s Request (Dog Kennel/Industrial <br />District). <br /> <br />No action was needed on this item because the Commission sent Ordinance #4 on to <br />Council for consideration and approval. <br /> <br />VII. DISCUSSION ITEMS <br /> <br />1. Conditional Use Permits – Containing Same in Ordinance #4 <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she had provided information from another City concerning <br />the use of conditional use permits for nonconforming uses. She then commented that the <br />conditional use permits had not been used for accessory structures. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wilharber indicated he did a little driving around after that issue was <br />discussed and commented that there are a lot of sheds built too close to homes to meet the <br />current Ordinance requirements. He then commented that Mr. Michaels had called City <br />Hall and been told he could reconstruct his shed in the same location. <br /> <br />Acting Chair DeVine said he felt the City needed to be realistic and realize that Mr. <br />Michaels was given faulty information and the City should not make him tear down the <br />shed and should give him a permit to allow him to maintain it. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wilharber commented that the new procedures would take care of these <br />problems in the future. <br /> <br />Acting Chair DeVine explained that over the past year or so there has been a big push to <br />try to eliminate most, if not all, variances that the City gives out by redoing ordinances. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wilharber commented, unless you build a city from scratch, there will be <br />cases where you need to grant variances. He then said he did not think the City looked <br />too bad with regard to what previous Councils had approved. <br /> <br />Page 6 of 7 <br />
