SPECIFIC USE PERMIT Discussion on a request to consider the specific use permit for a massage establishment to be located at 1003 Nederland Avenue. The applicant was in attendance and there were no citizens in attendance for this item. Mr. Wheeler highlighted a few sections from the massage ordinance and the specific use ordinance. Mr. Wheeler highlighted that the massage ordinance only allows the operation to be open from gam to IOpm and shall close at 10pm. That there cannot be any covering on the exterior windows nor an ATM machine in the business. There shall only be licensed therapists on staff to perform massages and there shall be a list of all therapists on duty or off duty and this list shall be available for review. Also, the ordinance states the owner(s) or manager(s) of the business is responsible for the acts of their employees. The ordinance for specific use permits is strictly issued to the applicant and is not transferrable without a new specific use permit being issued to the new owner. If approved, the structure shall not be enlarged, modified or structurally altered without the approval of an amended specific use permit. Finally, each specific use permit is evaluated as to its probable effect on adjacent property and community welfare and each application may be approved or denied as the findings indicate appropriate. The applicant agreed to comply with all the ordinances. A motion was made by Alex Rupp with a second from Lance Howell and all in favor of approval. Page 2 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION October 17, 2023 4. REPLAT Discussion on the request for a re -plat from 220 61h and 519 Boston. The applicant is Dustin Hurt. The existing property is actually two lots. The corner lot has a garage constructed over the shared interior property line. This was done a long time ago and probably the owner owned both lots. To make each structure on its separate lot without demolishing the garage, a re -plat is needed creating an L shaped lot one 220 6th and lot two will be 50ft wide and 57ft in depth. The minimum lot size required is 50ft by 100ft. Each lot would still have its own water and sewer taps located in front of each lot. To make this right the commission approved the re -plat as shown. A motion was made by Alex Rupp and a second was made by Mark Byars to approve the request. All voted to approve. 5. COMMUNICATION None 6. ADJOURN There being no other business a motion was made by Lance Howell and seconded by Mark Byars to adjourn the meeting at 6:00 p.m. All voted aye. Scott Watjus, Chan
