OLD BUSINESS
1. Dan Johnson asked the Planning Commission for clarification of
the proposed change to signage for mall outparcels. He asked if the
language should be exactly the same as OS-2 sign language or just
apply the OS-2 sign language to applicable wall and ground signs.
The Commission wanted the outparcel signage language to be exactly
the same as the OS-2 district.
NEW BUSINESS
- Use Consideration – 2710 Sanford Avenue
The Planning Commission entertained a request from Larry and
Patricia Kindle to allow a retail-type use at their building located
at 2710 Sanford Avenue. The building is currently zoned I-2,
Industrial. The Commission discussed the request and the consensus
appeared to be the use is better suited for a commercially zoned
district and to keep this site industrial.
Patricia Kindle spoke to her request and explained why
circumstances have changed and what the proposed use would be.
Poll moved to deny the request to use the industrial site for a
commercial purpose. Leatherman supported the motion and it was
approved 5-0.
2. The Planning Commission continued discussion on "casual
restaurant" language for the C-1 and C-5 districts. There was
general discussion on distances from residential properties, number
of seats in a dining area, carpet in a dining area and other items.
Dave Smith representing JDN made some comments on some of the
items the Planning Commission was considering. He was concerned
about the maximum lot coverage and gave some suggestions on how to
handle dining areas and drive-throughs.
The Planning Commission liked the way the discussion was heading,
however, they asked for more information.
3. Dan provided the Planning Commission with an update on why the
public hearing was not held in June as they originally tried to
schedule. The question as to how many votes were necessary to
approve an amendment had been clarified.
Leatherman moved to set a public hearing to formally consider the
change in Master Plan designation for September 4th at 7:15 PM. Poll
supported the motion and it was approved on a 4-1 vote with Nicely
opposed.
PUBLIC COMMENT
- Chairperson Zondervan asked if any of the audience was there
to discuss the Hope Network property.
Steve DeHaan was representing the property owners who like the
current designation.
Michelle Herman asked the Commission what they would like to see
on that corner.
Tom Stranz of Hope Network would discourage the Commission from
changing the Master Plan.
OTHER
- Poll moved to change the date of the July meeting to July 10th
at the regular time. Nicely supported the motion and it was
