AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Discussion of Conditional Use Permits.
The Commissioners discussed possible ways to track conditions /restrictions placed on conditional use
permits. Some Commissioners expressed their concern that it seemed like a wasted effort to place
restrictions on certain permits without appropriate follow -up and tracking. Senior Planner McCully
explained that there may be staff limitations and suggested that the Commissioners clearly state their
level of expectations when restrictions are placed. Some Commissioners felt that the restrictions that
could be placed on certain developments be defined better. Ms. McCully said that placing time
restrictions (expiration dates) on some conditional uses would put the burden on the applicant not staff,
therefore the applicant would have to prove that all of the restrictions have been satisfied at the time of
applying for a renewal of the use permit. Some Commissioners agreed that a checklist for the different
types of possible conditions would be beneficial, if given to the applicant at the time of renewal. This
would let the applicant know that they would need to provide the necessary information with a
subsequent application to ensure that the original conditions and restrictions have been maintained.
Commissioner Kaiser asked if Staff could research the different conditional use permits and conditions
placed on them over the past few years. Ms. McCully stated that they were all physical site conditions
and that to her knowledge, they had been met.
AGENDA ITEM NO. : Discussion of items on Regular Agenda.

Staff Planner Jimmerson told the Commissioners that there some changes to the staff recommendation
for Consent Agenda Item No. 2.4. Graduated Engineer Tondre explained that Staff would be requesting
a note on the plat to address the concern of no development within the floodplain. Assistant City
Attorney Nemcik told Staff that this note could not be added to the plat and suggested that it be placed
within the Development Agreement. Staff and Ms. Nemcik agreed to discuss this issue and come up
with a solution before the Regular Meeting. The item will be pulled from the Consent Agenda to allow
Staff to inform the Commissioners what is decided.
