Torgerson's would have to come into compliance. Mrs. Torgerson stated they would not <br /> be using the structure for anything but storage;the loft area in the structure is just high <br /> enough to store items on, not sleeping quarters. <br /> Commissioner Hallan inquired if the structure is prewired and if the applicants are <br /> going to run power to it. Mrs. Torgerson stated it is pre-wired and possibly in the future <br /> they would run power to it,just to have lighting in the structure.

Mrs. <br /> Torgerson stated that the contractor is aware of where t���ctrical lines run;they are <br /> � currently marked and the contractor will place the st�e��e exactly where specified. <br /> ;� <br /> � � <br /> PUBLIC COMMENT OPENED: <br /> There were no public comments. <br /> PUBLIC COMMENT CLOSED. <br /> A motion was made by Plan��Commission Member Wilson,�econded by <br /> Planning Commission Mem���'z�ulbeck, to approve the Variance request, <br /> subject to the following Findin��;�o�`�'�,ct: <br /> i.
