He indicated he has checked with various cities and came up with some recommendations. Discussion was held regarding the recommendations made by the Building and Zoning Administrator in his 12/30/86 memo. Discussion was held regarding the fact that some model homes contain real estate offices within them. It was the consensus of the City Council to not allow real estate offices to operate from a model home. e Councilmember Tralle indicated that he would rather see model homes be a principal use with set standards instead of a conditional use which would cause more staff time and also create delay for the builders. After further discussion the City Council recommended that the Planning Commission consider the following conditions: That there be a time limit of three years. that 20 feet of signage be allowed for the model home. that the model home not be allowed to have a real estate office within it. that four parking stalls be provided. and that the garage can be included as parking stalls. and further that no on-street parking be allowed. 6.4.Consideration of Intersection of 221st Avenue and Quinn Street Councilmember Tralle left the room for this item.
