Mr. Lowell seconded. All in favor. Motion carried. 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 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES — MEETING OF JANUARY 16, 2003 PAGE 4 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. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. STAFF REPORTS, Mr. Gibson informed the board that Rami Yosefian held a dedication today at the Gracious Age Facility, which was dedicated to Leo Trepanier.

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. Mr. Hipes stated that in the new sign code all signs will have to comply by 2008 and thought an incentive program for compliance would be a good idea. Mr. Gibson stated that he would communicate with Antonia to discuss some of the measures and approaches that can be done towards communicating and implementing the enforcement of the new regulations within the next several years.
