David Kennedy: Something talked about performance standards. Who is going to <br /> determine which requests require a CUP? Mr. Marohn explained that business owners <br /> would fill out a questionnaire and if answered to fit the criteria, an over the counter <br /> permit would be issued. <br /> Mr. Marohn stated that most cities actually require an ordinance amendment, rather than <br /> the CUP process. That is not a simple process. <br /> Performance standards: sample included in the staff report. The Staff Report included <br /> sample performance standards. Performance Standards could include hours of operation, <br /> outdoor displays and seating, waste disposal areas, parking, and nuisances. <br /> Brian Noska: The hours of operation listed in the Staff Report caught my attention. I <br /> own the Movie City and Tradesman in Pine River, and own a building on Government <br /> Drive. If hours of operation were after 6:00 p.m., a video store would require a CUP. If <br /> merchants wanted to stay open until 9:00 on a Wednesday or Thursday evening, they <br /> would be required to do the CUP process. <br /> It was the general consensus to exclude all Light Industrial uses. A butcher shop is an <br /> example that could be on the CUP list, also a shooting range at a pawn shop. <br /> Michelle Lelwica: Could we expand our list rather than opening us up to problems that <br /> could occur? <br /> The next step would be to draft an ordinance amendment. The community could then <br /> comment. <br /> We could have 3 lists, the last being allowed with restrictions. It is difficult to come up <br /> with every situation that might be come in. We could say that if you are a business in the <br /> DMU you can move around without having to do the CUP process. <br /> The group was concerned to just open it up. They recommended we expand the list with <br /> the no brainer stuff. <br /> David Kennedy: This sounds like a favorable solution. He suggested going back to <br /> CUP's that were denied and add them to the excluded list. A Vet Clinic was not allowed <br /> in the DMU. Some of those concerns could be added to the list. The checklist should be <br /> limited in size,possibly 50 items. <br /> It was suggested to have items on the list that would trigger concerns. <br /> David Kennedy: Is there a way to give the Planning Commission authority to expand list <br /> without the Council process? Is there a way to have the requirement that you have a CUP <br /> notification, decision and conditions are determined based only on what the surrounding <br /> property owners raise and not the things the Planning Commission could invent? Mr. <br /> Marohn explained that the Planning Commission must follow the ordinance. <br /> Minutes 2 <br /> Planning Commission <br /> September 18, 2008 <br />
