PUBLIC COMMENTS None ZONING ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT 7:30 p.m. - Scheduled Public Hearing (»S) #2632 TEMPLE ISRAEL, 645 TONKAWA ROAD, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Michael Shields appeared on behalf of Temple Israel. Weinberger stated the City has scheduled a public hearing for Temple Israel and Camp Teko to review a request to permit a toilet and shower facility on the property’, with the condition that a full conditional use permit application for the camp use be submitted prior to a Certificate of Occupancy being granted for the new building. Weinberger state d based upon a review of City’s files, no condiitonal use permit has ever been issued for Camp Teko. This use has been “grandfathered” as the property has been in use as a camp since before adoption of the zoning ordinance. Prior to Camp Teko the property had been used for such things as a Boy Scout camp. Weinberger stated a conditional use permit had been applied for in 1989, to permit an e.xpansion to the main building, with the item having been reviewed by the Planning Commission but withdrawn prior to City Council renew and approval. Weinberger stated camps are considered to be a conditional use in residential districts. The request is to permit a new toilet/shower facility to be constructed between the dining hall and Stone Lodge located on the property. The City’s Municipal Code requires accessory buildings, for the proposed use, meet a minimum setback of 50 feet to property lines. The proposed location of the building meets all the required setbacks for the new accessory structures on the property. The Applicants are proposing to construct a building appro.ximately 2,100 square feet in size. A review of the other buildings on the propert>' will be completed with the review of the full conditional use permit application. The size of the building is not a concern due to the size of the property that is owned by the Camp. Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the new building. Temple Israel will need to apply for a conditional use permit for the use of the property as a camp. Weinberger noted all property owners located within 350’ have been given notice of tonight’s public hearing. PAGE 4
