a lesson learned at the Kelly Farm. Commissioner Mortensen discussed endowments . from personal estates as a possible revenue source. 8 Other Items for the February Planning Commission which the HPC would possibly comment upon include the Elk River Landfill getting an extension of their CUP (conditional use permit) and an addition to the Aldi's building. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER ROHLF AND SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HARRIS TO RECOMMEND THE STANDARD CONDITION BE PLACED UPON THE PROPOSALS. ALL IN FAVOR. MOTION CARRIED. Commissioner Mortensen questioned what happened with the Adams' proposal for the home at 931 Main Street. Environmental Administrator Haug stated that the applicant got final approval but didn't follow through with it. The ordinance was changed to allow Bed and Breakfast buildings without the owner living on site. No zone change was made. This decision met with general agreement from the commissioners. Returning to the topic of the Water Tower, City Councilman Westgaard suggested approaching the Fire Chief regarding fund raising for the water tower during a Firemen's Dance. Discussion followed regarding methods of "advertising" and using the 501-c organization for fund raising. Commissioner Mortensen suggested using engraved bricks which could be purchased for the restoration. Both ideas were well received by the commissioners. 9) Schedule Next HPC Meeting and Identify Agenda Items The next meeting will be held on March 19, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. in the Uppertown Conference Room due to the February meeting being scheduled on the same evening as the volunteer recognition reception (to be held at the Senior Activity Center).
