MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS
Staff recommendation : Six month deferral of termination proceedings, Conditional Use
Grant, Burke Properties d/b/a Loomis-Martin LLC. Plan Director Turk stated that the six month
extension granted by the Plan Commission has expired. The Conditional Use Grant is
recorded against the property. Should termination proceedings begin or should this item be

is requesting deferring termination for a short term basis. Consensus of Commissioners was
to grant deferment of termination proceedings.
Staff recommendation: Initiation of code amendments relation to required parking ratios in
commercial and industrial districts. This is a project that the Assistant Plan Director has been
working to do research and give presentations to Plan Commission on code provisions and
how Plan Staff comes up with minimum requirements for the number of parking stalls for
commercial properties. The existing code requirements are not relevant to modern traffic
patterns. Staff is recommending a study based on modern shopping patterns, modern
business needs and reevaluate what ratios and floor area requirements generate need for
parking. This is a long term project that will be presented to the Plan Commission in the future.
