Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes May 16, 2023 Page 7 1 2 Mr. Gutzman stated it may be worth looking into this to see if it pertains to instant oil change 3 facilities as far as a stacking queue. Mr. Grittman stated that will be looked at on a case-by- 4 case basis. 5 6 Mr. Grittman reviewed the Temporary Structures and Uses section noting this is all new 7 text. An allowance has been made for garage sales, estate sales, grad parties, and other events. 8 Commissioner Hendrickson asked about the temporary restroom facilities. They are to be on 9 the side of the house rather than in the front. Commissioner Hendrickson stated if it was in the 10 backyard it is difficult for the company to service the restroom. If placed on the side it would 11 be closer to the neighbors house. This may be unrealistic the way it is written. 12 13 Chair Socha asked how often a restroom facility needs to be serviced. Commissioner 14 Kuykendall stated for the sports boosters it is once a month. Commissioner Hendrickson 15 stated it should be close to a driveway for service. 16 17 Commissioner Kuykendall referred to the “screening from view” restriction. There have been 18 no complaints. He asked what is the definition of screening. Chair Socha asked if there is a 19 practical solution saying an administrative exemption applies when there is no way to access 20 the restroom other than in the front of the house. Commissioner Morita asked how often does 21 this come up due to a complaint. Mr. Grittman stated Staff believed there needs to be 22 something in the Code allowing the restroom. Mr. Grittman stated they should be placed in a 23 location that maximizes screening to also allow for servicing of the portable restroom. 24 25 Mr. Grittman reviewed the Temporary Sign section. This is new text, as there was no 26 provision for temporary signs in the Code. There is an implementation aspect to this as well as 27 policy. This regulation allows temporary signs under a permit process for a specific number of 28 days per year. The size is also specified along with the location of the temporary sign. There 29 are temporary signs put on residential property. The prior prohibition was unrealistic. This is 30 an attempt to set some boundaries. 31 32 Commissioner Morita asked if open house signs on the corner are not allowed and Mr. 33 Grittman stated it is only allowed at the residence. Garage sale signs on the corner were not 34 allowed but the practice was to let it go. The hope is the signs are removed so Code 35 Enforcement does not need to pick them up. 36 37 Chair Socha asked if with the resident’s permission can a sign be put on a corner lot. 38 Commissioner Morita stated it is restrictive not to allow open house signs to be placed on the 39 corners. People should be allowed to sell their homes and have a garage sale. Chair Socha 40 stated she does not like the commercial “clean your gutters now” signs in the right-of-way. 41 Mr. Grittman stated content on a sign can’t be regulated. There was a discussion on open 42 house signs. Commissioner Erickson stated he would prefer to see signs in yards only. 43 44 Chair Socha asked if she can give permission to place signs in the right-of-way. Mr. Grittman 45 stated the sign would need to be out of the right-of-way. 46
