MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />JANUARY 12, 1995 <br />present, and all indicated that they were opposed to <br />the proposal. <br />Garske felt there was a huge gap in the apparent value <br />of the home being proposed and the pictures of the <br />existing homes in the neighborhood. <br />Knudsen pointed out that if Mr. Graf proposed to build <br />a new house exactly like this one, the matter would not <br />require a Conditional Use Permit, and Mr. Graf would be <br />issued a building permit. Therefore, Knudsen saw no <br />reason to debate the structure itself.

The Planner <br />reported that under the Administrative Section of the <br />Ordinance, there are five criteria which must be met <br />for Conditional Use Permits, but these criteria <br />generally apply to classes of property.
