Chairman Frederick gave the Planning Commission a few minutes to review
the two corrected pages of the Staff Report that were handed out tonight,
Chairman Frederick pointed out that no action is required and that the,
Site Plan Review (with conditions attached} which was previously approved
is valid. He then asked the applicant, l3ave Simas, to step forward.
Mr. Simas advised that he had had a chance to review the history of
the property and the previous conditions of the approved Site Plan
Review. He advised that he was not aware of the requirement that he
improve Snowy $utte.
Mr. Simas was then advised that the condition that required improvement
of Snowy Butte was a requirement of the Minor Land Partition which
created the two lots. Tf the conditions were not met, then the Minor
Land Partition would not be valid.
Commissioner Freeman raised two final questions: one with respect to
the starting and completion time of construction and one with respect
to piggyback parking. Staff advised that there had been no agreement
made on the starting or completion time and that plans had been approved
allowing the piggyback parking.

C. Resolution No. , A Resolution of Recommendation of A raval of a
Variance at 433 North First Street, Jackson Count Ma Page 37-2~~-3DC,
Tax Lot 1400
Chief Penicook read the resolution and the Staff Report on this item.
He advised that the words "of Recommendation" should be stricken from
the heading of the resolution. The Planning Commission needs to list
its findings in order to complete Items A, B and C of Section 1 of this
resolution.
Chairman Frederick suggested the Planning Commission review the minutes
of the last meeting to refresh themselves on their reasons for granting
this variance.
Chairman Frederick called a recess at $:22 P.M.
Chairman Frederick called the meeting back to order at 8:30 P.M.
After some discussion, the following findings were prepared:
A. There are extraordinary circumstances applying to this land,
wi~ich do not apply generally to land in the same district
because recently imposed R-3 zoning creates an exceptional
condition for this lot compared to other lots in the same
district.
B. The granting of the application is necessary for the
preservation of the substantial property right of the
applicant to utilize the land according to the stated
purposes of the R-3 zone.
C. The granting of the application will not be outweighed
by the adverse effects to the health or safety of persons
residing in the neighborhood of the property of the appli-
cants, and wi11 not be materially detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to property or improvements in said
neighborhood because the intended use is compatible with
the R-3 district,
