Commissioner Davis asked why the location map showed a parcel shape in the northwest
corner that was different than the plan. Planner Doty said that the location map showed a
section of road right-of-way that had been vacated. He said that the location map did not
represent the current lot shape.
Chair Holmes introduced the applicant, Ryan Caddington, representing Contour
Engineering. Mr. Caddington said that he was available for any questions.
Chair Holmes opened the public hearing.
Chair Holmes introduced Wendi Girard, 12875 47th Avenue North. Ms. Girard asked if the
property had already been sold.
Chair Holmes closed the public hearing.
Planning Manager Senness said that subdivision approval is required before the new lot
could be sold.
Planning Manager Senness said that Commissioner Weir said that since there is currently
no sidewalk along
47th Avenue, he would support the waiver for a sidewalk in this
subdivision.
Chair Holmes said that this is the cleanest and easiest subdivision that has been brought
before the Planning Commission for some time and that he would support this request.
MOTION by Commissioner Davis, seconded by Commissioner Nelson, to approve the
request by Contour Engineering for a preliminary plat for two single-family lots to be
known as E and E Addition for property located at 13025 47th Avenue North. Roll Call
Vote. 6 Ayes. MOTION approved unanimously.

Commissioner Jaffoni asked if the complainant was aware of the occupancy limitation and
if they agree with the condition. Senior Planner Darling said that the applicant is now
aware of that particular restriction. She said that they are currently a very small program
with only seven girls and that they can operate within that restriction for the time being.
She said that should they continue to grow, they would have to come back before the
Planning Commission and City Council to request additional space in order to maintain the
1 person per each 100 gross square feet or they would have to look for another location.
Chair Holmes introduced the applicant's representative, Eli Russell from the property
management company. Mr. Russell said that he was available for questions.
Chair Holmes opened and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to speak
on the item.
Commissioner Aamoth asked why this approval would expire after one year. Planning
Manager Senness said that approval would expire after one year if the applicant had not
started the project. She said that this is standard resolution language and that it would not
apply since the applicant already occupies the space.
Planning Manager Senness said that Commissioner Weir commented that he would support
the request for a conditional use permit.
Commissioner Jaffoni asked why this operation would not be considered a school. Senior
Planner Darling said that by the Zoning Ordinance definition, it would have to meet the
state's requirements for compulsory education to function as a school and this use does not
meet that criteria.
MOTION by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Jaffoni, to approve the
request by Komplete Academy for a conditional use permit to allow an indoor commercial
recreation use in the I-2 zoning district for property located at 9909 South Shore Drive.
Roll Call Vote. 6 Ayes. MOTION approved unanimously.
