Planning Commission Meeting <br />June 9, 1916 <br />Page 5 of 0 <br />Spitzer: I appreciate your concern, but these complaints should be filed <br />with the City Council. Has everyone who is seeking to address the chair <br />done so? Is there anyone who has not commented and would like to? <br />Steve Toensing: The pine trees weren't planted far enough into the swampy <br />area; the lombardy poplars weren't either. The variance is requested a <br />year after it should have been. I don't think they should be allowed a <br />variance. <br />Smith: We instructed you that the Special Use Permit was null and void <br />because they did not comply with Item #2, but didn't say that you only <br />consider Condition ;r2 and that is not the intention of the attorney in <br />his findings. We did direct you to hold a hearing but did not say it is <br />null and void and you should consider only Item #2. <br />Spitzer: Does anyone have any new material? <br />'•Taller:. Regarding the tree planting — I hereby submit a sworn affidavit <br />that the trees were planted a year ago. (?affidavit submitted) <br />Bra-nistedt: Perhaps there is a misunderstanding. Perhaps it should be <br />referred back to the Council to find out if item #2 is a misunderstanding? <br />Spitzer: Thank you — the hearing is now closed. (Time — 8:10 P.M.) <br />Declared five minute recess. <br />DENNIS BURDICK — PUBLIC HEARING <br />The public hearing for the purpose of granting a Special Use Permit <br />to Dennis Burdick, 14529 Forest Boulevard, to operate a retail motor <br />vehicle sales and service, contingent on the approval of the ordinance <br />amendment, was opened at 8:17 P.M. by Chairman Spitzer, who also read <br />the official notice of public hearing. <br />!attending were Spitzer, Ehret, Peloquin, and Peltier; also Bill <br />Schwab, Washington County Planner. <br />Spitzer explained that there was an earlier public hearing at 7:00 P.M. <br />for an ordinance amendment, which if passed, would allow retail motor veh— <br />icle sales and service in the Concentrated Business District by Special <br />Use Permit.

Was it this particular issue that brought this <br />about? <br />Spitzer: Yes, the ordinance as originally irritten , allowed motor vehicle <br />
