7. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. ACCELERATION NORTHWEST & ORTHOPEDIC FITNESS (2006116)
Chair Holmes introduced the request by Acceleration Northwest and Orthopedic Fitness for
a conditional use permit to allow a sports training center in the I-2 (General Industrial)
Zoning District for property located at 2530 Xenium Lane North.
Planner Doty gave an overview of the January 9, 2007 staff report.
Chair Holmes opened the public hearing.
Chair Holmes introduced, Marlyn Ryti, 2530 Xenium Lane N., Maintenance Technician
for the Satellite Industries building. Mr. Ryti had no comments.
Chair Holmes closed the public hearing.
Chair Holmes said he did not see a defined left turn lane to go south bound on Highway 55,
and asked if traffic counts had been conducted.
Planner Doty said this type of use would not generate a high enough traffic level to merit a
traffic study. He said the existing access at the southwest corner of the site would provide
access for the existing and proposed use.
Planning Manager Senness added that there is a left turn lane to get into the site. She said
much of the traffic associated with this use would be in off peak hours and would therefore
have less impact than when Satellite was operating fully at the site.
MOTION by Commissioner Weir, seconded by Commissioner Musliner, to approve the
request by Acceleration Northwest and Orthopedic Fitness for a conditional use permit to
allow a sports training center in the I-2 (General Industrial) Zoning District for property
located at 2530 Xenium Lane North. Roll Call Vote. 5 Ayes. MOTION approved
unanimously.
B. FASTENAL (2006117)
Chair Holmes introduced the request by Fastenal for a conditional use permit to allow retail
sales in the I-2 (General Industrial) zoning district for property located at 2530 Xenium
