Planning Commission Meeting May 23, 2001- page 2 is premature to include it in the MUSA at this time. Rooney was opposed to the expansion of the MUSA, and said he found nothing in the plan that he considered transitional. Members of the Planning Commission agreed that the road (Goodview) was in bad shape as well as the intersection of Highway 61 and 147`h Street, and that the plan lacked park and recreational areas. The Commission expressed concern over recommending approval of the MUSA line adjustment until the Community Charrette/visioning process was complete. Schumann made motion, Rosenquist seconded, to table consideration of expanding the MUSA to include the Bramsted property until the Charette process and Zoning Ordinance updates were complete, and to adjourn the public hearing until that time. All Ayes. Motion carried. CUP for Trailer Sales (Lutz) The Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the request of Glen Lutz for a conditional use permit for retail sales of trailers for property located at 5795-165`h Street North. The property is zoned Restricted Industrial, which allows trailers sales as a conditional use. The existing building would be used for a retail sales office as well as the storage of five-foot single axe] utility trailers and 18 -foot tandem axe] flatbed trailers, as well as other similar trailers. The requested conditional use permit would also include the outside storage of trailers in a defined area located west of the existing buildings. When asked about lighting and repairs, Lutz said he would only be doing warranty type repairs, no manufacturing of trailers, and he did not intend to install outdoor lights. Staff noted there was a 40' x 78' building on the property, which appeared to be leased for the storage of personal property, and a number of vehicles were being stored outside of the building in the area proposed for the outside storage of trailers. It was noted that some of the vehicles were not currently licensed. Schumann opened the public hearing. Kathy and Rick Suess, 5725 165`h Street North, said they were concerned about the screening and would like to see additional fencing. Art Munger, 5311 165`h Street North, said when the building was built 8-10 years ago it was to be sided and used for the restoration of antique autos, and there was to be no outside storage. Munger would like the building to be brought up to code. Dave Ochs, 5756 165`h Street North, was concerned about the children and pedestrian traffic on 165`h Street. Members of the Commission questioned what the current use of the building was. McRoberts made motion, Schumann seconded to table the request for a conditional use permit for trailer sales until
