replacing the conditional use permit with an interim use permit.

Creek. He requested feedback from the Planning and Zoning Board regarding
changing the land use from commercial to business campus.
Mr. Wipperfurth noted he did not support the street connection of 21st Avenue and
Cedar Street. He was concerned delivery trucks would try to exit onto Cedar Street
which would increase traffic near the residential neighborhood. He recommended
keeping the streets disconnected in order to create more separation between the
industrial and residential area. Mr. Wipperfurth also commented it would be nice if a
bike trail was constructed along 21st Avenue up to Main Street.
Mr. Grochala stated a trail along 21st Avenue up to Main Street has already been
planned. He noted Cedar Street will likely be a future collector road and it will be the
location of a future overpass.
Overall, the Board was supportive of the proposed industrial project and they
recommended changing the land use from commercial to business campus.

Staff provided verbal updates to the Board on current City projects.
