AMENDMENT Knudsen noted that the Planning Commission tabled action last fall TO CUP AND on the request of Valor Enterprises for an Amendment to Conditional VARIANCE - Use Permit to modify their site plan as well as a Variance from the 3165-3167 City's parking requirement. These matters were tabled in order to SPRUCE give the property owner time to have an engineering study done of the STREET - property relative to drainage. Knudsen noted that the applicant has VALOR not submitted that drainage report. Knudsen pointed out that when the ENTERPRISES matter was initially before the Commission, it was explained that a hardship must be present in order to warrant granting a variance.

Lori Peterson, Valor Enterprises, indicated that they have submitted a revised site plan to address storage issues. Peterson indicated that she thought the parking issues were already agreed upon, allowing the switch in locations of the sales lot with the overflow parking area.

Knudsen pointed out that the property owner has submitted nothing that refutes that finding.
