Board To Take Action On The Item ROLL CALL Members Present: Mark Spoltman, Jim Oda, Jean Franz, Mike Taylor Members Absent: Dick Sword Staff Members: Chris Schmiesing Attendees: Doug Page, Becca Manning MEETING MINUTES Jim Oda motioned to accept the April 3, 2007 meeting minutes as submitted. Jean Franz seconded the motion and the minutes were adopted by voice vote with all members present voting in favor. OLD BUSINESS 1. Resolution P.C. 16-07 A proposed amendment to section 154.081 of the zoning code that modifies the parking and off street loading general regulations to include gravel as a permitted surface material for off street parking spaces, when said spaces are located in the rear yard of a residential property. Mr. Oda motioned to bring the item from the table. Jean Franz seconded the motion with all members present voting in favor of the motion. Mr. Schmiesing provided an overview of the item explaining that proposed amendment had been tabled at the April meeting at which time the commission asked for an amendment to the wording and for comments from the parties participating in the proposed parking ordinance amendment discussions. Mr. Schmiesing reported that a parking ordinance work session recently held was facilitated by the Chief of Police and attended by 38 interested citizens. The Chief indicated to Mr. Schmiesing that while the discussion at this work session primarily focused on the regulations restricting where semi tractors and recreational vehicles could be parked, those in attendance did express their desire that gravel be a permitted off street parking surface. Noting that the proposed amendment originated with the parking ordinance discussions, Mr. Schmiesing suggested to the Planning Commission that discussions pertaining to the proposed "gravel parking" zoning code amendment should be tabled until such time the proposed zoning code amendment can be considered with full knowledge of the parking ordinance concerns and issues, and the final action taken on that matter. Mr. Spoltman asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak on this matter. With no one approaching the lectern, Mr. Oda made a motion that the Planning Commission declines to further discuss the gravel parking zoning code amendment until such time the final course of action on the proposed parking ordinance amendment is known. Mike Taylor seconded the motion with all those present voting in favor of the motion. NEW BUSINESS 2. Resolution P.C. 18-07 A resolution to establish the proposed agenda of the June 5, 2007 regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Schmiesing noted that no new items have been submitted that will require the Planning Commission's consideration in June. Mr. Oda motioned to approve resolution 18-07 and Mr. Taylor seconded the motion. A roll call vote followed with all members present voting in favor of the resolution. OTHER BUSINESS 3.
