Zoning File #1902 February 14, 1994 Page 2 G - H - Resolution No. 3098 - Granting Approval of Temporary Greenhouse in 1992 at Dickey Property Located at 2645 Watertown Road Septic Inventory Plan Survey/Site Plan Description of Request Applicant seeks approval of a temporary greenhouse to be installed at the John Hallson property at 120 Golden View Drive immediately north of the Dickey property where a greenhouse has been installed for the past two seasons (1992/1993). The Dickey property is currently being considered for subdivision and property is no longer being offered to Mr. Guenthner for planting of crops. The structure is propoicd at 14’ x 60 ’ and at a maximum 10’ height and shall be constructed as previously approved of 6mm poly material tacked to steel p>erlon structure. As before, the structure must satisfy the building code standards for a temporary greenhouse. Applicant proposes the planting of approximately a 3.5 acre field. As before, major portions of the crop will be sold to various markets and restaurants and a smaller percentage to member families considered share holders. To the City’s knowledge, produce has never been sold directly at the Dickey site although code would allow the selling of produce grown at the site as an accessory use. Although the conditional use permit application notes only the use of the Hallson property, Mr. Guenthner has advised in a recent phone conversation that he may use a small portion of the Suess property on the west side. Staff advised the applicant of the limitations now on the use of the Suess property because this property is currently under subdivision review. Septic testing has been completed for all proposed lots. If Planning Commission members can recall, original septic testing completed for proposed Lot 3 was negated because of trucks driving over septic area. Suess had to provide additional septic testing for Lot 3. Expansion to the Suess property may no longer be an option. The Dickey crop operation was located to the mid/north of the 66 acre undeveloped property. The Hallson propeny is surrounded by two acre development to the west, north and south. There are certain activities and odors that emanate through care and maintenance of vegetable crops that may prove to be incompatible with adjacent neighborhood. Applicant should provide more detail on his operation. Issues for Consideration 1. The code does not limit the number of conditional uses or permitted uses on a given property. A conditional use permit is not like an accessory use where accessory use must be subordinate or supportive of principal use. A conditional use can be independent from
