Ben called a public hearing to order to consider a request by Mike Duetz
for a special use permit to erect an autobody repair adjacent to the Lone
Pine Car Wash north of Co. 75 on lot 19, Blk 22, of Loso's Addn. The shop
will have a pole-barn steel construction, partial brick front, front land-
scaped area, asphalted front and rear, and air filters as required by state
and federal statutes. Phil moved to recommend to the Council approval of
the request for a special use permit with the following conditions:
1) a privacy fence will be constructed in the rear,
2) a landscaped area will be constructed in the front,
3) no repairable cars shall be left outside the secured area of the business
after working hours. S. Kathleen seconded the motion and it was approved
unanimously.
Ted Klein inquired about requirements for constructing a single-unit dwell-
ing for rental purposes next to a house on old Hi 52, lot 7, Blk 2, Loso's
7th Addn. The parking surface in front of the dwelling would be a class
two gravel surface. No variances are needed. Another proposed future unit
on lot 9 would require a set-back variance fœom Co. 75.
Ross asked the Commission's opinion about various issues concerning bill-
board oonstruction. 1) How is a billboard different from an advertising
sign? Advertising signs come under the ordinance for business signs on the
premises o£ the business. 2) Should the size of billboards be enlarged
to conform to standard size billboard paper, 12 ft x 25 ft? The Commission
generally felt "no". 3) Should special use permits be required of all
billboard construction? Not if the spacing requirements between billboards
is 1000 ft and set-back requirements are followed. 4) How should set-backs
from the highway or street be specified? Set-backs should be measured to
the closest edge of the billboard from the street.
The Minutes from Jauary 5 were read and approved.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:35p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
