THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. Acting Chair Johnson stated that regardless of whether this conditional use permit is approved, she felt that the issue of parking on the site should be addressed as she feels it is an unsafe situation. 9. Consider Conditional Use Permit/Elk River Machine/Public Hearing Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator introduced this item by stating that the applicant is requesting to build a 26,250 square foot addition to an existing building located in the 11 zoning district. He stated this item requires a conditional use permit because it is an amendment to an existing conditional use permit which allowed multiple principal structures on one lot. In addition, the applicant is requesting that they be allowed to combine another lot with this parcel which would add another building to the same lot. Mr. Rohlf stated that the applicant is proposing to add parking to accommodate the potential new employees of the proposed addition. He stated that staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit. Acting Chair Johnson opened the public hearing. Larry Ebert, Elk River Machine, stated that they are not changing the use of the property, rather they are just enlarging their current use. He stated that the proposed addition would add employees and would also improve the view from the park as there would be trees planted and the outside storage would be relocated. There being no further comments from the public, Acting Chair Johnson closed the public hearing.
