Ed Thurner, City Rep. Kate Stevenson, City Rep. Ziggy Ziegler, County Rep. Clarence Foos, County Rep. Tom Robertus, County Rep. Betty Hart, County Rep. Steve O'Neil, City Rep. Cai Cumin, City Planner Cheryll Lund, City Secretary Larry and Rhonda Grayson Minutes of the November 7, 2002 meeting were reviewed and approved by a motion by Betty Hart with a second by Doug Poehls. TEMPORARY USE PERMIT - SASSY SIPS - 720 1sT AVENI.~ A temporary use permit has been requested at Sassy Sips at 720 1 st Avenue to allow 1) a 18' X 24' freestanding patio cover, 2) two picnic tables, and 3) a porta potty. Rhonda Grayson states that she has had requests from the public for all three of the above. Recommendation by Steve Klotz, Public Works Director, is that the picnic tables be allowed, that the freestanding carport would require an engineered foundation and a construction permit prior to Public Works approval and that the placement ora porta-potty would be a violation of L.M.C. 13.12.030. Several board members spoke in opposition of a porta-potty being allowed, as it would be inappropriate being so close to residential neighborhoods. Cal stated that the porta-potty couldn't be approved because it is a violation of LMC. Cai recommends approval of the picnic tables but not the porta-potty or freestanding patio cover. He would like to see the Grayson's build a permanent building for their business, which seems to be a success. Motion by Ed Thumer, second by Doug Poehls to deny the request by Sassy Sips for the freestanding patio cover and porta-potty, and approve the request for 2 picnic tables. Motion carried 8- 0. PROPOSED CHANGES TO L.M.C. 17.49 - TEMPORARY USE PERMIT Cal handed out the changes that are being proposed for Temporary Uses and Structures. The Public Works Department requested that a maximum square footage be added to the section. Cal suggested that the board look over the proposed changes and that a public hearing be held at the January 2, 2003 meeting. Discussion was held on different types of temporary uses such as fireworks and Christmas tree stands and what classification they are in within the LMC. Cal stated that the board would be asked to review a subdivision for Clark's Camp located on the Clark's Fork River in the near future. The meeting was adjourned at 6:55 pm. Respectfully subnfitted.
