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 /> <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 /> <br />SP2006-008, VN2006-001, LP2006-003 Site Plan Review including <br />Public Hearings: <br />Special Use Permits for Automotive Repair, Automotive Sales, Building Setback <br />Variance, and Parking Variance <br /> <br /> <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 />I:\COMMISSIONS\PLANNING\Minutes\2006\06-20-2006.docPage 1 of 15 <br /> <br />
