residence. Mr. Kennedy indicated he currently lives in a mobile home on his

have a condition of the building permit to remove the mobile home when the
new home is completed.

have it signed by the Kennedys to assure that there are not two dwellings

Reauest for Establishinq a Private Road bv David Hauan, Case No. GZ 95-2
Steve Ach indicated that David Hauan has requested the Council to consider a
private roadway agreement to accommodate further development of his
property. Steve Ach stated that there is no public right-of-way or approved
private road agreement providing access to the property in question. He stated
that one option would be to approve a private roadway agreement and
another option would be for the owners to dedicate property for a public road to
be built.
Mr. Hauan indicated that prior to subdividing the property, a private roadway
agreement providing for emergency access was approved by the City Council.
He indicated that he was under the impression that this private roadway
agreement could be utilized to serve his property after it was subdivided. Steve
Ach indicated that it is staff's opinion that the private roadway agreement was
issued for the two five acre parcels only and not the balance of Mr. Hauan's
property. Steve Ach stated that extending the private roadway to Mr. Hauan's
property will allow for development to occur.
It was the consensus of the City Council that Mr. Hauan did not subdivide his
property with the intention of not having access to the property. It was further
the consensus that Mr. Hauan was definitely under the impression that the private
road agreement could be utilized to access his property.

8.17. Present Planninq Commission Recommendation on the Setbacks for Lumber Yard
from Public and Institutional Uses
City Planner Steve Ach stated that the City Council recently adopted an
ordinance amendment relating to lumber yards as a conditional use in C3 zoning
districts. He stated that the City Council then asked the Planning Commission to
review the possible need for additional setback requirements for lumber yards
when adjacent to schools and churches.
e
Steve Ach indicated that the Planning Commission discussed this issue on June 20,
1995. He indicated that the Planning Commission felt that the conditional use
permit process provides the opportunity for the Planning Commission and Council
to consider each development proposal and to determine the appropriate
setbacks based on the use and its impact on adjacent uses. He indicated that
the Planning Commission concurred with the City Council that increased
setbacks for lumber yards may be necessary, however, it was the consensus of
the Commission to utilize the seven criteria for granting a conditional use permit
to address impacts of lumber yards on adjacent land uses.
Councilmember Scheel stated that she felt that all requests should be treated
equal as opposed to looking at each one on a separate basis.
It was the consensus of the majority of the Council to concur with the Planning
Commission's recommendation to utilize the seven criteria for granting a
conditional use permit to address the impacts on lumber yards on adjacent land
uses.
