Approval of Final Plat is required for sale and does not approve for development. Further details will be required for development approval. Motion to send to Council made by Russ Row and second by Steve Notheisen, approved.
Agenda Item 5. B-2 Permitted Uses- Fruit and Vegetable Stands. Nathan Krebel informed committee of a request to establish a Fruit and Vegetable Stand identical to the Fruit and Vegetable Stand located in Columbia at Shady Creek Nursery. B-2 zoning provides for Fruit and Vegetable Stand without identifying if within any structure or tent. Discussion focused on a tent and all committee members were negative on a tent. A Fruit and Vegetable Stand was seen as an open air stand without covering. Nathan will inform individual of our position and suggest if a tent covered stand was envisioned as a necessity, maybe a location in the County would be more appealing.
Agenda Item 6, External Building Materials for Residential Accessory Structures between 50 – 200 Sq. Ft.
Nathan presented pictures of a number of structures than can be purchased from Big Box stores and other sources that are not addressed in our building code. He provided copies of Paragraph 40-3-2, Building Accessory Buildings and structures not requiring a building permit, and building distance requirements for placement. After discussion, Nathan was asked to draft a document to supplement and clarify this topic for review and action by Ordinance Committee. The Planning Committee did not see a negative image if appropriate distances and safety factors for installation are met.
Agenda Item 7 Comments. None
Motion to adjourn made by Russ Row, second by Steve Notheisen. Meeting adjourned at 3:05.
