Flint commented he is pleased with the quality people that <br /> are presently on the Planning Commission. <br /> Flint stated a specific comment was raised regarding the Wett application. Flint stated the property <br /> owner made the comment why did he have to go through this whole process. Flint stated in his <br /> opinion that is one application that could have been handled entirely by City Staff. Flint stated the <br /> Applicant extended the roof line a little further over the blacktop than what it already was, so <br /> technically you were substituting an overhang variance for the hardcover variance that was already <br /> there. Flint stated the City needs to come up with some specifics where those type of applications <br /> can be handled administratively. <br /> Mayor Peterson indicated the three Planning Commission alternates and herself spent the majority <br /> of Saturday at a seminar put on by John Shardlow,which was very informative and worthwhile. <br /> Gaffron inquired whether the fee paid ori the Wett application should be refunded. Gaffron stated <br /> the City collected a penalty fee on this application since it was an after-the-fact variance,which is <br /> double the permit fee. <br /> Mayor Peterson stated in her opinion the City should charge the normal application fee. <br /> Page 14 <br />
