MINUTIiS CITY COUNCIL MARCH 26, 2008 Blesener summarized the recommendations of the City Planner and the Planning Commission with regard to these zoning requests. The City Planner reported that in the Spring of 2007, Temo Sum•ooms was granted a PUD Permit to allow a display gazebo on their property from March I st through October 31st of each year. They were also granted a PUD Permit to construct agarage/dumpster enclosure structure of not more than 800 square feet in size at the rear of their property contingent upon removal of the existing trash enclosure prior to construction of the new garage/trash enclosure.
