They will have an additional work session on Tuesday, June 27th to review <br /> additional proposals and it will be on the Council agenda that evening, where they will <br /> state which firm they have selected. The Council is looking for input from citizens on the <br /> time change for their council meetings from 7:30 to 6:30. The Council approved a $20 <br /> million bond for the Northwest Quadrant. <br /> O'Brien asked if the Planning Commission were to move it's meeting time up to 6:30, <br /> would it affect staff meetings with the Council. Doffing replied that it should not affect <br /> those meetings, she just maybe coming to the Planning Commission meeting later. <br /> Doffing inquired from staff it would be easier for them if the meeting was moved to 6:30. <br /> Fernelius replied that either meeting time would work for staff. <br /> Public Hearings: SP2006-008, VN2006-001, LP2006-003 Site Plan Review including <br /> Special Use Permits for Automotive Repair, Automotive Sales, Building Setback <br /> Variance, and Parking Variance <br /> This applicant was originally heard in October of 2003 for a Site Plan review, Special <br /> Use Permit for automotive repair, a building setback variance, and a variance to the <br /> required number of parking stalls. That original approval expired and the applicant re- <br /> applied for a similar request in April of 2006. The Planning Commission then held a <br /> public hearing on May 16, 2006 and tabled the application to allow the applicant to <br /> redesign the site plan in an effort to create a more functional parking lot, whereby the <br /> automotive sales Special Use Permit could be more realistically considered. The <br /> applicant has submitted a revised plan. <br /> Page 1 of 15 <br />
