Planning Commission Meeting

With only two members missing tonight (Hunsaker and Hall), the Planning Commission got through its agenda in pretty short order, wrapping up in about 15 minutes

Under old business, there was a discussion of what a cargo shipping container or seed container was. A couple of members expressed concern that, if an ordinance was passed allowing placement of cargo shipping containers in residential areas, members of the community might get a semi trailer, knock the wheels off and call it a cargo shipping container. The commission decided to research standard sizes of shipping containers and use that info in better formulating the amendment.

Tim Damian, developer of forthcoming Damian Estates on New Era Road, got the approval of annexation he'd been seeking, along with a variance of the city's ordinance regarding inclusion of sidewalks in subdivisions. The city council will have to approve the annexation and variance at its March 17 meeting.

Councilmember (and ex-officio commission member) Lance Jack then went over various annexations and other matters relating to the commission the city council had approved at prior meetings. The commission then dismissed at about a quarter after seven (7:17, if you want to be precise).
