He noted that since last month's meeting, the applicant has <br />stated they are no longer interested in constructing a building to perform vehicle repairs. The applicant <br />does still wish to have a guard shack at the Elk River property entrance to monitor site access. Staff <br />does have concerns about the shack being a place for an employee to sleep. The applicant would like <br />the shack to include office space and security devices. The applicant states that the 5x5 size is too small <br />and suggested something like a job site trailer as a temporary solution until a permanent structure is <br />built. Mr. Leeseberg stated the permanent structure will be required to meet the I3 building standards <br />and code. He asked the Planning Commission to provide feedback on their preference for the use of a <br />temporary guard shack or a permanent structure to provide site monitoring and office space. Mr. <br />Leeseberg also requested feedback on a completion date for Conditions 1, 7, 9, 10, 11, 16, 18, and 19. <br />Chair Beise opened the public hearing. DRAFTPage 2 of 55
