side with windowed garage doors, a septic system on the south side of the
building, propane tank behind the building, less than half of the building will
be used as a living quarter. The lot is
zoned agricultural. Commission Member

a commercial building was being built for someone to live in it on land that
was zoned agricultural. He thought the
recently approved architectural standards were being compromised too much.

The
following items were discussed as part of Commission Members’ comments:
·
Commission Member Mark – Wanted to
know status of the old Union 76 station, he is participating in the new
Stormwater Advisory Committee which has had a couple of meetings.
·
Commission Member Mendenhall – Wanted
to know the status of Corey’s Irish Pub.
·
Commission Member Skinner – Abstained
from voting for Richard Downs building because he can’t in good conscience put
a pole building up and have someone living in it. The overhead doors face the highway. There are too many questions on this.
·
Commission Member Sullivan – No
Comment.
The following items were discussed as part of
City Administrator Arentsen’s comments:

Welcome
back to Judi Mendenhall.

contact the DNR or state to see what can be done to remove the rest of the
debris piles.
