3. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a. Conditional Use Requested by Heritage Development for a Vista Telephone Remote
Switching Station
The attached drawing shows a division of Lot 1, Block 3 and the site plan for the
proposed building, parking lot and landscaping. The other half of this lot will
be used for a single family dwelling. The snapshots provided of the building are
illustrative of what will be built, however, Heritage Development has specific require-
ments which can be explored during the meeting. Based upon the earlier discussion
of this request, the applicant has asked for a division of the lot. While the west
half of the lot would be inadequate for a house, it will easily accommodate the
switching station. Both the created lots exceed the minimum 10,000 square foot
lot requirements for the R -1 District.
Recommendation
Approve the Conditional Use Request for a remote switching station on Lot 1, Block 3
of Nelsen Hills Farm.

a. Dexterity Dental Arts 310 Division Street
The attached drawing shows additional parking that the owner of the dental laboratory
would like to add to the site plan. It amounts to four parking stalls for parallel
parking along the circular drive on the east side of the building. The question
raised is whether or not the additional parking meets the spirit and intent of the
conditional use permit granted for the dental laboratory. The staff is of the opinion
that the four spaces in front of the building would not significantly alter the
conditional use, particularly if some plantings were introduced between the automobile
parking strip and the grass panel.
Evaluate the sketch and look at the site before the meeting.
b. Dexterity Dental Arts 310 Division Street Sign
Dexterity Dental has requested a sign that is approximately twice the size that
is currently allowed by the sign ordinance. After looking at the sign proposal,
the existing City ordinance appears to be overly restrictive. Because it is a two
business structure, the ordinance would allow two 12 square foot signs, however,
two 12 square foot signs would not look as good as the two 24 square foot signs
that have been proposed. The request, therefore, is brought to the attention of
the Commission to see if the ordinance might be changed. A drive through other
communities might be in order to achieve a comfort level with larger signs for
business uses within residential neighborhoods. Mr. Ihle will be in attendance
to discuss the request.
c. Department of Natural Resources Response to Planning Commission Recommendation
of August 17, 1993.
The attached letter indicates that only one minor change needs to be added to the
draft ordinance. If acceptable to the Commission, a letter can be drafted which
will indicate the schedule of hearings to be held before the amendment is adopted.
