MINUTES Planning Commission August 14, 1986 Text Frattalone stated that he has a building there and he has to find Amendment a use for it. Frattalone pointed out that when the building (Cont.) burnt down five years ago the City allowed him to rebuild it. Davison asked what the specific problems were in allowing the lawn maintenance businesses to occupy the building. Davison asked if there were problems with the quality of the building. The Planner replied that regardless of the problems on site, lawn maintenance was not a permitted use in 6 -3. 8 -3 is a retail district and there is usually retail sales and service. A retail business is usually cleaner and there is no outdoor storage. Timmons felt it was unrealistic to assume the property would be used for retail sales and pointed out the location of the property and difficult access to it.

Dates of the various Council meeting minutes include: July 10, 1974, August 14, 1974, July 8, 1974 Planning Commission meeting minutes, November 10, 1982 Council meeting, November 24, 1982 Council meeting, September 27, 1984 letter from Building Inspector, April 29, 1985 letter from Building Inspector, April 26, 1985 letter from City to Mr. Frattalone, June 6, 1985 letter from City to Mr. Frattalone, July 12, 1985 City Council minutes. Timmons pointed out that some of the problems discussed in these minutes and correspondence were caused by businesses that are no longer tenants of the Frattalone property. Some of these issues are no longer relavent. Frattalone stated that the issue of his using Park Street, which was discussed in the meeting minutes read by Schultz, was that he did not use the street when it was 3 -ton. However, when the Page -3-
