Mabusth asked the applicant <br />to specify the exact dimensions of the greenhouse <br />proposed in this application. Mortenson explained <br />the reason for proposing a smaller sized greenhouse <br />at first is that the Watertown property is considerably <br />more expensive than the Arbor Street site. The <br />applicants were asked to review the greenhouse <br />operation for the neighbors in attendance. Mrs. Ferrell <br />asked the Planning Commission how they could consider <br />a commercial operation in an unsewered area. The <br />Commission advised that the zoning code and the <br />comprehensive plan clearly defines a commercial <br />greenhouse use as compatible with the rural residential <br />area of the City. Mr. Ducharme questioned how the <br />City would control the commercial growth on the 6.7 <br />acre site once a conditional use permit is approved. <br />ROBERT MORTENSON <br />3280 Watertown Road <br />CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT <br />(#576) <br />V
