o C'5. o Planning Commission Minutes June 26, 1983 Page Two Mr. Plude indicated that he would be adding a single car garage and deleting the existing garage door and adding an access walk through door on the front side. Mr. Plude indicated that other than this there would be no other structural changes. Commissioner Oster questioned Mr. Plude as to how many employees he expected to have for his catering business. Mr. Plude indicated there would be just himself and maybe one or two employees according to the job. Mr. Plude further indicated that if his business ever warranted more employees, he would look for a different location. Commissioner Tralle questioned whether there were any objections in Mr. Plude's neighberhood to the catering operation. Mr. Plude stated that he had spoke to several neighbors in the neighborhood and that the people claim they would be in favor of Mr. Plude's catering business.

Commissioner Pearce indicated that the existing sign is already 6 or 7 feet above the power line and that it is the highest sign along the highway. Commissioner Tralle agreed with Commissioner Pearce.
