• • • Planning and Zoning Board July 13, 1983 Page -4- Doocy seconded the Motion. Mr. Doocy felt it was one Council member reacting to the Planning Comm- ission. It was not a Council wide action. Voting on the motion - motion carried unanimously. AMENDED SPECIAL USE PERMIT - WOLTERS Mr. Wolters is requesting an Amended Special Use Permit to build a storage building and add a storage buiiji.ng onto his present building. However, there were several items not completed on the original Special Use Permit such as screening and exterior storage. The new building would solve the exterior storage problem.

Mr. Short read from the new Zoning Ordinance regarding screening and fencing in the Light Indust- rial District. A Conditional Use Permit would be required. Mr. Kluegel asked Mr. Short what he was suggesting: a rezone to Light Industrial and also a site and building plan approval and Conditional Use Permit for exterior storage. Mr. Short felt Mr. Wolters should also be encouraged to build a new building to eliminate the exterior storage problem. Mr. John Davidson, City Engineer, suggested that a proposal to change the
