Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 24, 2009 Page 15 Discussion included residual addressing assigned to the properties; application of such requests directly to the City Council after staff review and without Planning Commission review, and not requiring a public hearing process or public notice. Councilmember Ihlan expressed her concern that adjacent property owners may be unaware of the request and unable to provide public comment; and suggested t:zat the City Council consider deferring approval to allow sun-ounding property owners to be sufficiently noticed. City Attorney Anderson advised that the proposed use was a permitted use in the area, and that permits were issued by staff, providing the applicant met current Code requirements, and was simply a re-identification of properiy lines. Councilmember Pust asked that this process be included in the overall review of the Zoning Code, whether the policy should remain as it stands, or if it should go through the Planning Commission and public hearing process. Councilmember Roe concurred that the Planning Commission should review this policy as part of the Zoning Code redraft. Councilmember Ihlan reiterated her request that action be deferred until public rotice was provided. Mayor Klausing questioned what purpose the notice would serve, since the ques- tion before the City Council was a recombination of lots, and how the public would address that. Councilmember Ihlan expressed her desire to know specific setbacks, height re- strictions, or potential traffic to be generated, prior to her vote on the request, all things typically reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council. Councilmember Roe clarified with Mr. Paschke, the setbacks from the front, rear and sides; with the current hardware store out of compliance; noting that the new structure would be further away from property lines than current structures, pro- viding a better situation for adjacent property owners. Roe moved, Johnson seconded, approval of the proposed CONSOLIDATION �,ND RECOMBINATION of parcels at 2595 — 2635 Rice Street and 160 County Road C, based on the comments and findings of Sections 4 and 5 and the condi- tions of Section 6 of the Request for Council Action dated August 24, 2009. Councilmember Ihlan spoke in opposition to the motion, without additional notice to the neighborhood. Roll Call
