compatible with the RI -1 requirements. The buffering will be in accordance to the Land

Hold a Public Hearing to consider a Conditional Use request for J & J Millwork to allow
Outdoor Storage in a GC -2, General Commercial zoning district located at 200 N. Holly
Avenue,
Representative George Wallace was present along with the owner Jeff Klack. Mr. Wallace
stated that they disagree with the staff s recommendation. Mr. Klack has been operating his
business there for several years and he needs a temporary place to store the cabinets, which is in
the trailers at the front of the building, until he takes them to the site to install them. In October
Code Enforcement cited him for being in violation. The outdoor storage conditional use request
is a little misleading because the cabinets are stored inside the trailers. Pictures were submitted
which showed the site and surrounding properties. The surrounding properties have items stored
outside within chain link areas. The fire department indicates the trailers are a concern, but
during all previous inspections by them they never mentioned them being a problem. They are
requesting a conditional use to allow Mr. Klack to continue his business to use the trailers to
store his materials.
Mr. Skat disclosed that he spoke with the applicant back in October when he was first cited by
Code Enforcement. If this request is not approved tonight, the City needs to cite other adjacent
properties that are in violation of outdoor storage. He also stated that he was concerned about
setting a precedent if request was approved.
The board asked Mr. Groot if the trailers were licensed and operable would they be in
compliance. Mr. Groot stated that since the citation came from Code Enforcement, they would
have to answer that question and recommended the board continue this request to allow it to go
to code enforcement for them to determine the violation.
Mr. Robert moved to continue the request until no time certain. Mr. Lowell seconded. All in
favor. Motion carried.
Hold a Public Hearing to consider a Conditional Use request for Spirit of Truth Worship to
establish a Church in an Agriculture zoning district located at 1501 Brisson Avenue.
Representative Pastor Rico Sharp was present. Mr. Sharp stated that they plan to build a church
on the property to help beautify the area and to be compatible with the surrounding area. After

the church is built the existing buildings on the property will be removed. In the future, they
would like to build a community center, a day care facility, and possibly a transitional house to
help people that are in need. The current church is located on 16 Street with approximately 200
members.
Mr. Kutz moved to approve per staff s recommendation. Mr. Robert seconded. All in favor.
Motion carried.
Hold a Public Hearing to consider a Conditional Use request for The Drage Property to
facilitate a non - residential Urban Infill Redevelopment Project at 100 Maple Avenue.
Representative John Drage was present. He stated that they are planning to build a 742 square
foot commercial building on the property. A wood stockade fence will be installed along the
west property line, with parking being accessed through the alley.
Mr. Gibson asked the board to consider adding to staff s recommendation to require the
applicant to work with staff to create a structure that is in keeping with the surrounding
buildings.
Mr. Lowell moved to approve per staff s recommendation with the addition that the applicant is
to work with staff to create a structure or provide a structure that is in keeping with the
surrounding structures. Mr. Kutz seconded. All in favor. Motion carried.

COMMISSIONERS REPORTS.
Mr. Skat stated that a copy of the new sign regulations should be mailed to the property owners
and that he had spoken to Antonia and she is looking at getting an Intern to do an inventory of all
signs.

incentive program for compliance would be a good idea.
