Public Hearing - Case No. CU 02-26 <br /> <br />Staff report presented by Chris Leeseberg. Saxon Motors requests an amendment to their <br />conditional use permit to allow a 5,358 square foot, 2-story addition to their existing <br />building. Mr. Leeseberg reviewed location, zoning requirements, Wild and Scenic/Shoreland <br />Regulation issues, access and circulation, and landscaping. Staff recommends that this <br />request be tabled to the October 8, 2002 Special Meeting in order for the applicant to <br />provide additional information regarding the Wild and Scenic/Shoreland Regulations. <br /> <br />Chair Pederson opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />John Weicht, 13330 Island View Driver, representing the applicant, explained that they <br />did not address the bluff issue because they knew the grading would be more than 20 feet <br />from the river. He noted that the City went through a special process to remove these types <br />of restrictions from certain properties along the river due to the high elevation of the bluff. <br />
