Re: Farmers and Merchants CUP Modification (CUP-05-030)
At the October 11, 2005 City Council hearing, Craig Slocum, representing Farmers
and Merchants State Bank, requested reconsideration by Council of CUP-05-030.
The question was then raised whether the application needed to be remanded back
to the Planning and Zoning Commission for reconsideration or whether the
reconsideration could be by the City Council. This memo addresses how the
application was noticed to the public and haw the application was considered at the
Planning and Zoning Commission hearing.
The public notice for the hearing was worded as follows: "Request for a Conditional
Use Permit to modify the Conditions of Approval for CUP-03-050, in order to allow
the existing building at 703 North Main Street to remain and to allow a public use in
the O-T zone for Farmers and Merchants State Bank, by Farmers and Merchants
State Bank - 703 North Main Street." The public notice implies that retention of the
existing building will be permanent.
The staff report far the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing on September 1,
2005 did not evaluate the request to keep the existing building as temporary, and
the conditions of approval and findings were written under the impression that the
request was to allow the building to permanently remain. Staff presented the
application at the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing as a request to
permanently retain the building, and the Commission placed Conditions of approval
on the application accordingly.
