He <br />further indicated that the issue regarding car sales versus farm <br />equipment sales was discussed. Steve Rohlf indicated that the Planning <br />Commission felt that farm equipment should be displayed on grass and <br />further that the car sales would be very incidental and suggested that <br />no more than two vehicles be allowed in order to be consistent with <br />other car and boat dealerships. <br /> <br />Mayor Tralle opened the public hearing. There being no one for or <br />against the matter, Mayor Tralle closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Schuldt indicated that he would not consider adding <br />another used car lot on Highway 10 as there are too many car lots at <br />the present time. <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ MOVED TO APPROVE THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR <br />GARY CLOUGH TO ALLOW TRACTOR, FARM EQUIPMENT AND LIMITED CAR SALES AT <br />9945 HIGHWAY 10 WITH THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS: <br /> <br />1.
