REGULAR ITEMS

13. 10:05  A.M.  COMMENT PERIOD:  Members of the public may address the Board on matters which are within the jurisdiction of the Board.  If you are addressing the Board regarding a matter listed on the agenda, you may be asked to hold your comments until the Board takes up that matter.  Please limit your comments to three minutes or less.

14. 10:30  A.M.  Dennis Sutton request for a Temporary Use Permit.   Take action as necessary.**

Action: Dennis Sutton requested a temporary use permit for an open air market on Northcrest Drive.  Mr. Sutton commented that he applied for the use permit and paid the outstanding fine.  Supervisor Finigan commented on the process and Mr. Sutton suggested that this would give the neighbors a chance to see how things go before the permit is issued.  Mr. Perry, Director of the Community Development Department commented that the Planning Commission issues permits and the Board is an appeal body and does not issue permits.  Public comment was heard from Mike Martin and Chris Lanham.  Mr. Sutton submitted letters of support from the neighbors.  Mr. Sutton was told he needs to submit the incomplete information for the application for the use permit as soon as possible so the process is not delayed.

After discussion by the Board, it was moved by Supervisor Finigan that it is the sense of the Board that Administrative Citations shall not be issued but that the Code Enforcement Officer may issue a Notice of Violation with a period of time to bring the property into compliance which is sufficiently lengthy to allow Mr. Sutton to go through the Planning Commission process, seconded by Supervisor McClure and unanimously approved.
