He 4 welcomed the Commission's comments. 5 Melsha stated the Commission's participation would be a good idea to build community 6 awareness. Hanson suggested an informational tent might be more appropriate which would be 7 staffed by Councilmembers as well as Commissioners. Ms. Moore-Sykes stated a tent would not 8 be a good idea as 3-Councilmembers are up for re-election this year. 9 It was agreed the Commission would participate in the VillageFest parade and smart casual 10 would be the appropriate attire.

Hanson asked for clarification with regard to the conditional use permit for the Town& Country 16 site. Horst stated the Commission is allowed to set conditions for lighting, signage, noise and 17 other variables. He noted, as an example, the Exhaust Pro site which operates as a repair facility 18 and has restricted hours as well as restriction of vehicles parked outside. He added a conditional 19 use for the Town& Country site might be a restriction of outdoor storage of goods. 20 Hatched asked whether the sale of the Town& Country was finalized. Horst stated a purchase 21 agreement has been signed. 22 Horst stated he met recently with Mr. Kellison and the new owner of the shopping center. He 23 added he was surprised to learn the shopping center's owners do not have a site plan, but are 24 amenable to green space.
