PLANNING COMMISSION Mayor Haguewood read the minutes of the Planning Commission meeting of August 15, 1979 with the following action being taken by the Council: A. Conditional Use Permit: Hibbard (Weenie Wagon) fl Mayor Haguewood opened the public hearing on the Weenie Wagon's request for a conditional use permit to sell hot dogs and cola at 6th and Lincoln Streets (Albertson's parking lot} and requested questions or comments from the audience or staff. During the discussion which followed, Council- man Buck stated he felt the action pf the Planning Commission denying a motion to recommend approval of the use at its present location" did not clarify the question of whether this was a permitted use in that zone, as was intended when the matter was remanded to the Planning Com- mission by the Council. Councilman Anderson then moved the Council concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and deny the Weenie Wagon's request for a conditional use permit, for the following reasons: the building permit which was originally issued to Albertsons and Pay-n-Save did not include any use besides parking in the parking lot area. That area should only be used for what the building permit was issued for. The motion was seconded by Councilman Duncan. During discussion on the motion, the Council heard comments from Attorney Ed Hibbard, representing the owners of the Weenie Wagon, and several members of the audience who were in favor of letting the Weenie Wagon remain at its present location. On call for the question, the motion passed with Councilmen Buck and Wray voting "NO." 'B. ~Condtionai Use Permit: Huff Mayor Haguewood opened the public hearing on Mr. Huff's request for a conditional use permit for use of an existing warehouse building as a rental warehouse located on the northwest corner of Motor Avenue and Oak Street, and requested comments or questions from the audience or staff. There were no comments and the public hearing was closed. Councilman Buck then moved the Council concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approve Mr. Huff's request for a con- ditional use permit because the use seems to be appropriate use of the property and building, it will reduce traffic impact on the neigh- borhood and be more compatible with the residential character of the area than the existing distributorship. The conditional use permit is also subject to the following conditions: (1) the existing structure shall be used as a warehouse for storage of materials only, such as rental goods, household furniture, boats and automobiles; (2) that no "warehouse sales" be conducted at the site; and (3) that the warehouse , be in operation during the hours between 8 AM and 5 PM Monday through Friday, only.
