Commissioner Spigner asked what kind of problems the petitioner was having with the
property.
Mr. Unrath explained that there is a "lip" that is two inches higher that goes along the
ditch. The water goes from south to north and drains under Sunset Trail. When it rains,
the water pools for about a week creating mud and saturation.
Commissioner Spigner asked if the petitioner would be filling in the area around the
mature trees and to the property line.
Mr. Unrath replied that the area around the mature trees would be filled and the fill would
slope near the property line. Mr. Unrath added that he has tried to grow trees, but the
land is too wet.
Chairman Stulberg opened and closed the public hearing as there was no one present to
speak on the issue.
MOTION by Commissioner Spigner, seconded by Commissioner Thompson to
recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit for Carl Unrath for property located
at 11209 Sunset Trail.
Roll Call Vote. 7 Ayes. MOTION carried unanimously.
Chairman Stulberg introduced the special meeting agenda for July 30, 1996. Any
additions or corrections should be addressed to Barb Senness or Anne Hurlburt.
Planning Supervisor Senness talked about the timetable for the Zoning Ordinance.
Consultant David Licht is preparing the entire text for Commissioners to review and
should be ready for the August 27 Planning Commission Meeting. Staff will mail out the
draft ordinance at least a week in advance of the meeting to give Commissioners extra
time to review it. Beginning in September meetings will be held with interested parties
pertaining to commercial and industrial changes, as well as residential changes.
MOTION by Commissioner Spigner, seconded by Commissioner Thompson to adjourn.
Meeting was adjourned at 7:20 p.m.
