Peloza Commissioner Bryson asked if the house in question was the log house with a lean to. Peloza answered yes, by the church. Commissioner Scott commented that there appears to be ample parking in the area. Scott asked Peloza to define what he meant by "a temporary fence" in his application. Peloza said that the fence will be a white picket fence that stands approximately 30" tall and run along the property line. It will be tapped in the ground so that it can be removed in the fall. The reason for it during the summer is to enclose an area where an art bazaar can be set up for display. The land in the back of lot, inside fence, will be fully landscaped - fareway style. RENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Page 2 Commissioner Smalley stated that Father Targonsky had a concern regarding the sign. Was it going to be done tastefully. Mr. Peloza said the sign would be approximately 16" wide and 6 - 8' long. It will be done in log style to coordinate with the house. Mr. Peloza showed everyone a picture, recently taken, of a utility pole that stands on the property. He would like it removed. Commissioner Scott stated that removing a utility pole should be taken care of by the utility company. Commissioner Bryson agreed. Mr. Peloza said that whoever's problem it is it has to come down and that he would pay for it himself if he has to. Mr. Peloza said that he will look into it and probably return to P & Z if needed. Commissioner Bannock sited the section of the code that refers to set backs and approval by the Landscaping/Site Plan Review Board. He asked who the Landscaping/Site Plan Review Board was. Bannock also stated that he does not feel it inappropriate to ask that the P & Z Commission see the sign before it is put up. Commissioner Bryson said that there used to be a Landscaping/Site Plan Review Board but that it was no longer in existence. If there is anything that would need to be reviewed by that board it should probably go to P & Z. Bryson also stated that Mr. Peloza was most likely aware of his property lines and set backs. Mr. Peloza noted that he was aware of the set backs. Commissioner Scott said that she is in full support of Mr. Peloza's idea and trusts him to execute the project in good taste as discussed, protecting the integrity of the TSH Zone. Mr. Peloza said that the Commission will be very happy with the results of his project. MOTION AND VOTE: Commissioner Bannock moved to accept Mr. Pelota's Application for Development in TSH Zone. Commissioner Graveley seconded. Passed unanimously. RENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION ~ Page 3 b.

Mr. Smith stated that the apartment will be 1500 sq. feet. Bryson asked if the zoning allowed for an apartment as long as the primary use will be commercial. Jack La Shot said that as long as the primary use will be commercial, the apartment is acceptable. Commissioner Gravely questioned the 60 x 60 proposed future building, asking if this will be additional shop area. Mr. Smith stated that at this time that will be the intended use. Gravely stated that Mr. Smith would have to bring a proposal to P & Z at that time. Mr. Smith acknowledged this.
