Mr. Smith reviewed the staff report and the history of this application which had
been approved by the board in 1980. Conditions of the 1980 approval were not
reflected in the plans.
It was the opinion of the commission that plans should be revised to include the
conditions which were established at the March 11, 1980, board meeting when
the plans were given final approval. It was also requested that a separate more
detailed landscape plan be provided.
On a motion by Commissioner Martin, seconded by Commissioner Cook, the
commission referred the plans back to the applicant for revisions to reflect the
March 11, 1980, conditions of approval and for a separate, more complete
landscape plan.
Motion carried unanimously 5-0.
