Approval of Final Plat is required for sale and does not approve for development. Further details will be required for development approval.

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.
