Conditional Use Permit Review (Jim McNamara) Jim McNamara provided a review on the Conditional Use Permits for 1994. Three CUP's, Hammes Mining, Jamie Olson Advertising sign, and Armstrong (exterior storage), were not in compliance with the conditions set in their CUP. Jamie Olson Advertisina Sign: The support structure anticipated a 672 sq.ft. sign surface, but is limited to a 200 sq.ft. surface so the structure is way beyond the sign surface. The city has not pursued that because all of these matters were going through various stages of appeal. The time for appeal expired at the end of December. There is no litigation pending between the city and Jamie Olson. Her permit does indicate that the supporting structure of the sign shall not increase the perimeter of the sign anymore than 2 feet in any direction. The city may request that she reconfigure the supporting structure of the sign. M/S/C Mottaz/Conlin - to direct the staff to send a letter to Jamie Olson stating why she is not in compliance with conditions of CUP, give her reasonable time to correct problem and indicate if it is not corrected in that time, the city's next procedure will be to conduct a public hearing to consider rescinding the permit. (Motion carried 5-0). Armstrong (exterior storaae):Tom Armstrong had indicated to Jim McNamara that at this time the number of vehicles stored on the property are not in compliance with the condition set in the CUP. Hammes Mining: By their own admission, Hammes Mining is mining too close to the property line and a citation has been issued and they go to court on February 16, 1994.
