MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES APRIL 8, 1981 • The meeting was called to order by Chairman Al Stefanson at 7:04 p.m. Members present: Jerry Wallin, Bob Blomberg, Jim Bourquin, Erma Olson, and Mary Waldo. Also present was Council Liaison Sandy Larson. Members absent: Harold Nilsen and Don Mead. The meeting began with a report from Sandy Larson concerning the status of the Amusement Tax Bill. She informed the Commission that there is both a House and Senate Bill with several sponsors from each body. The bill is for the purpose of requesting an enabling act for assessing an amusement tax of up to 3% on admissions and amusements at the State Fair. The bills are now in small committees. April 10th is the last date for the bill to come out of committee normally, but this deadline does not apply to tax bills. Erma Olson prepared copies of the background data in support of the bill. Al Stefanson informed the Commission that he delivered the certificates in recognition of past Planning Commission service to former Members Les Larson and Elving Anderson. Along with each certificate he enclosed a copy of the minutes of the meeting at which the recognition resolution was passed. The meeting then turned to the discussion of the continuing drafting of the Zoning Ordinance. Al Stefanson distributed copies of the consolidated proposals as they were discussed and modified at the March meeting. Eventu- • ally the Commission will be submitting a consolidated proposal to both Dewan Barnes and Carl Dale for fine tuning and final draft. In connection with our work on the Zoning Ordinance we discussed the concept of "certificate of compliance" since it appeared in many places in Carl Dale's draft ordinance. The Commission's collective thinking was that a certificate of compliance ought to be a post construction written acknowledge- ment of the fact that the construction conforms to the plans as approved. We felt that the cost for a certificate of compliance ought to be part of the fee for the building permit. It was our thinking that. the issuance of the building permit would be the acknowledgement on the part of the City that the plans conforms to Zoning, Building Code, and other applicable require- ments. Then the inspection performed after construction is completed by the Building Inspector, the results of which are noted on the Building Permit Form itself, would constitute the certificate of compliance at no additional charge. During the meeting discussion was had and an agreement was reached on the following sub-sections of "R-1": Fences, Encroachments, Signs, Permissive Accessory Uses, Certian Modifications to Conditional Uses, and Off Street Parking.. Al Stefanson passed out a hand-out for the purpose of initiating discussion on a proposed "R-2" and "R-3" Section for next meeting. He also requested that each Commission Member review Article 6 of Carl Dale's proposed ordi- nance prior to next meeting. The May meeting will be at 7:00 p.m. on May 4, 1981 By motion duly made seconded and carried, the meeting was adjourned at 9:40 p.m. RespectfullG~~itted, J ry .allin, Secretary
