MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION November 9, 1989 The City Planner stated that if the CUP is approved and Wesch continues to comply with the conditions of the permit, the City could not revoke it. Drabik was concerned with what the City would be setting itself up for if the request were approved. Bendel pointed out the proposal by an architectural firm for a gothic -type building structure, pointing out that the style of building also served as signage for the architectural firm. Drabik pointed out that that proposal met Code requirements and a CUP was not needed. Drabik stated that she viewed the outdoor display proposed as a sign that was being used to draw customers. The City Planner pointed out that there is vacant land in the area, and was concerned about the type of development that will be attracted to the area based on existing development. The Planner felt the outdoor display adds to the clutter of the District and is a detraction. Pedersen asked if the City could place a time limit on the CUP. The Planner replied that the State has passed legislation that will allow for such time limits, however, the City's Codes would need to be amended to give the City this power. Pedersen stated that he is concerned about how the display will fit into the area. Pedersen pointed out that there is undeveloped land in the area, and felt the display is not in the best interests of future development of the area. DeLonais asked about a time limit on the use. The Planner stated that if the Council desires a time limit, the Ordinance will have to be amended to provide for an interim use allowance. Such an ordinance amendment will require a public hearing. Mr. DeLonais recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit requested by Scott Wesch, Wescot Construction, for construction of modular building for outdoor advertising display purposes subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner Page 5
