Harold Snoderly asked if Brent was aware of aerial photography being

to do with Garney. He indicated he would ask and let the Commission
know.

asked Transystems to look at another access but that safety issues had
been cited. Brent agreed to provide Al with some of the
correspondence that had led up to the changes that were made.
Brent pointed out that tonight's agenda was a perfect example of the
things that could be eliminated from the Planning & Zoning
Commissions responsibilities. He indicated that while he believed the
Change of Use permit was a good one, it was his believe that City staff,
as a part of their regular duties, could handle these items. He pointed
out that it was good to review change of use because it allowed the City
to address not only the use of a property, but also parking, the need for
signs or partitions calling for further permits, and it allowed the City
another opportunity to look at ADA guidelines and requirements. He
pointed out that the staff review and report process would remain
unchanged but that he would be proposing changes at the next meeting
for the handling of these items.
Chairman Snyder pointed out that she had recently attended a Hone
Builders Association meeting and that they had discussed how difficult
and time consuming it could be working with Planning and Zoning
regulations in the various Cities in the Metro.
Adjournment Shawn Lee moved to adjourn the meeting, Ray Uhl seconded and the
motion passed. Chairman Snyder called the meeting to an end at 8:55
pm.
