MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />APRIL 11, 1996 <br />Knudsen felt the Commission should given Mr. Battista <br />some directional guidance as to what it would find <br />acceptable. <br />The City Planner indicated that this guidance would be <br />helpful to staff as well. <br />Knudsen felt the building size should not be more than <br />1,500 square feet. <br />Schletty stated that he is opposed to the height and <br />square footage proposed.
