Planning Commission Minutes — July 8, 2004 <br />The CDD indicated that the staff had some discretion with the issuance of a conditional use <br />permit such as determining placement, colors, and design of the tower. <br />The Commission questioned what measures should be taken to prevent climbing of the tower, <br />Young indicated they would remove the bottom portion of the ladder once it was up. <br />Commissioner Bailly asked what a wind turbine would cost. Young said towers vary greatly and <br />the one Johnson planned to install was approximately $60,000. <br />Acting Chair Malaski noted that the City had received a letter from Thomas and Rennae Glidden, <br />7215 137th Street North, which said they did not support the construction because of aesthetics, <br />potential danger to birds and wildlife, and noise issues. <br />Hoffbeck made motion, Schumann seconded, to recommend approval of the conditional use <br />permit with the condition it was painted to blend in with the surroundings. He also made a verbal <br />request to the applicant to exercise proper maintenance on the windmill. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />Planning Commission Bylaws <br />The Commission reviewed the bylaws prepared by staff and made corrections to the document. <br />The Commission requested the bylaws be brought back to the Commission for approval at its next <br />meeting. <br />Miscellaneous <br />Commissioner Malaski noted that the trucks from the gravel pit were still running and she pointed <br />out that they were supposed to be doing reclamation on the property.
