MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 12, 1992 Garske asked if the CUP is approved and Mr. Eich moves out, if a similar operation could move in.

Clete Bussie, owner of 3150 Spruce Street, reported that cars would be parked within the fenced area. There are no slats in the fence due to vandalism concerns.

Eich reported that typical turn - around time is two weeks, due to the processing of titles by the State Highway Department. Drabik asked if conditions could be placed on the permit.
