Planning Commission Meeting July 28t 1976 Page 4 of 5 Darryl Granger, proprietor of Granger Body Shop, questioned the body shop being grandfathered in - showed ad in telephone directory showing proof of soliciting body shop business. Granger said he had to comply with Hugo Code when they rebuilt. Feels that he can't compete with 3urdick in view of the tremendous investment he has in his business. Spitzer explained that if a business is grandfathered in, it doesn't have to meet present day code. However it was pointed out that a busi- ness that is grandfathered in may not intensify. Burdick said that ad in the telephone directory was not for him business. Ehret said Burdick claims the body shop is grandfathered in; they have no proof to the con- trary. If anyone has such proof, then it is a different story. Spitzer said if the Burdick building burned dofTn, they couldn't even rebuild, because the zoning is improper. He further stated th?t if there is any evidence that the body shop was closed for any substantial amount of time, he would like to hear about it. Fifteen Rezoning Requests Spitzer stated that the City Council has requested the Planning Commission to handle the disposition of the Fifteen Rezoning requests th?t were pre- sdnted for consideration at the December 30, 1974 meeting of the City Council. Spitzer suggested dividing the list of applicants among the Planning Commission members. Each member is to familiarize himself with the property assigned to him, with the reasons for the requests, and then a public hearing will be scheduled for all of the requests at one time. There will be no fees involved, no surveys will be required, and the City will furnish no surveys. Motion made by Peltier, seconded by Peloquin, to have secretary send letters to all fifteen applicants for rezoning asking them to appear at the august 11, 1976 meeting to discuss their rezoning request presented at the December 10, 1974 City Council Meeting; they are further requested to have a legal description of their property available pt that meeting.
