Planning Associate Ericson stated this was dependent upon what occurs at the City Council level, as resolution at the Council level would be immediate. He explained that if that is not forthcoming at the City Council, staff could certainly address the possibility of an interim use permit with the applicant. Commissioner Miller pointed out that the last paragraph of the resolution contains the only reference that indicates a four-foot fence is allowed. Planning Associate Ericson stated staff could add a “WHEREAS” clause between the first and second clauses to address this point at the beginning of the document. Chairperson Peterson stated the fifth “WHEREAS” clause indicates that the public hearing was being held at this time, however, neither the applicants nor any residents were present to address this item. He requested additional language to indicate that this item was discussed at the April 5, 2000 Planning Commission meeting, in order to provide a complete record of the discussion of this matter. Planning Associate Ericson suggested both statements be combined in the “WHEREAS” clause to indicate “The Planning Commission discussed this request on April 5, 2000, and the public hearing was held on April 19, 2000.” MOTION/SECOND: Miller/Stevenson.
