wanted the wording changed in Condition No. 12 whereby "That the developer call for final building inspection by the City prior to any of the model homes being converted for residential occupancy or at such time as agreed to by the staff." Chairperson Wilson made the statement that the sale and leaseback arrangement is a common business transaction. Mr. Harris made the comment that they are only allowed to construct 50 houses per year and they would perhaps now end up with 55. Ms. Hanson stated she also would like Condition No. 14 to reflect "residential" use of the models as opposed to "to use of the models." The public hearing was closed. A motion was made by Commissioner Doherty, seconded by Commissioner Jamieson that case UP-80-38 be approved subject to the staff report, with the changes as requested because all the required findings could be made to grant this conditional use permit.

The property is zoned C-N (Neighborhood Commercial) District. Mr. Harris reviewed the project stating that it is merely a re- application of a previously approved, expired proposal. The public hearing was opened. Glenn Kierstead, representing Heritage Investments, stated he concurs with the staff report and urged the City do something to their Ordinance Code which allows for extensions of lapsed projects during this time of high interest rates and restrained loans. Chairperson Wilson asked Mr. Kierstead if he was ready to proceed with the project. Mr. Kierstead stated they were working on a 20$ interest loan. Commissioner Getty stated she feels the Planning Commission should be allowed to review expired projects. Commissioner Jamieson said that once the Planning Commission approves a project, they should be able to stand by their decision. Discussion then ensued between Mr. Harris and the Commissioners about methods to accomplish extensions of approved projects. -16- .....~___ T.._...__..f.. _.._..... _.. _..
