Ayes (4). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. CUP FOR Mayor Blesener opened the Public Hearing to consider a Conditional Use GARAGE — Permit for a detached garage consisting of 1,500 square feet as requested 2988 by Roy French for property located at 2988 Edgerton Street. The Planning EDGERTON Commission has recommended approval of the CUP as requested. STREET — ROY FRENCH The City Planner reviewed his report dated June 21, 2007 relative to this CUP request.
