Mr. Ken Strantz addressed the Commission and asked for an exception to the Ordinance <br />to be granted a special use permit to conduct his business out of 1724 Main Street for two <br />years. <br />City Administrator Larson explained that the City Attorney has advised the City that the <br />Ordinance specifically prohibits his type of business in that zoning district and the City is <br />not allowed to make an exception and grant a special use permit. <br />The Commission discussed the matter and informed Mr. Strantz that they would like to <br />assist him with staying in the City but cannotgo against the advice of the City Attorney. <br />They also expressed concern with fire and sprinkler requirements. <br />Mr. Strantz suggested that the City has allowed an exception for another business <br />operating within the City. <br />Mayor Capra explained that the business being referenced is an allowed use within the <br />district it is located in but Mr. Strantz business is specifically prohibited in the zoning <br />district he has requested to be located in. <br />Mr. Strantz commented that he feels the City is forcing him out of business and out of the <br />City. <br />City Administrator Larson indicated that no one is forcing Mr. Strantz out of business <br />and the City would allow him to locate in theindustrial district where his type of business <br />is allowed but he would need to meet all the code standards for fire and sprinkler as other <br />businesses are required to do. He further clarified that the Planning Commission has an <br />obligation to uphold the Ordinances of the City and to allow this use in this district would <br />be in direct violation of the Ordinance. <br />III.
