Attomey Cook gave an overview of the Agency's discussion at December 21, 1999 meeting. He stated that the
proposed amendments would make the Land Development Regulation consistent with existing Ordinance No.
703. One specific area of discussion has been temporary produce stands, which were prohibited by the
Ordinance, but is permitted by the Land Development Regulations. Attomey Cook continued, the produce stands
the City has are considered permanent business locations that has an occupational license or like any other
business.
Citizen Kirk Walker addressed the Agency and asked them to consider temporary produce stands in the City and
require a deposit or bond to make sure the area that is used is cleaned up once the produce stand is no longer
in use.
The Official recommendation of Agency to the Council is to leave the language in the land Development
Regulation's as it is.
Exhibit two consisted of a proposed telecommunications Ordinance provided to the agency from the City's
Planning Consultant. There was discussion regarding towers being engineered for wind and the distance of
lattice towers
Planning Consultant Jock Robertson stated he received a letter from Attorney Alan L. Gabriel, Attorney for
Nextel, which raised some questions so he would like to table the action until he met with City to get their interest
on this matter. He stated he would like to modify the Ordinance and bring it back to the Agency for further
consideration.

Temporary Use Permits of the City Land Development Regulations and Chapter 10 of the Code of Ordinance. Therefore,
