Vice Chair Lillehei asked for comments from the Planning Commission. Discussion
points were:
• Commissioner Drotning confirmed that signs could be installed by the
property owner (HOM Furniture) for Hirshfield's customer parking if
needed.
• Handicapped parking was discussed. Mr. Dempsey indicated that the
parking must meet Zoning Ordinance and handicap accessibility
requirements. If it's necessary to make the handicapped parking spaces
wider for van accessibility, Mr. Dempsey indicated that the parking lot could
be re- striped to accommodate this.
• Vice Chair Lillehei appreciated the color renderings of the site /building for
Pizza Ranch. He indicated the rendering did not show two small trees in
front of the building. Mr. Dempsey pointed out a stipulation of the interim
use permit requires any trees that are removed or damaged during the
construction process must be replaced.
• Confirmed that the shared parking agreement between Pizza Ranch and
HOM Furniture would cover Pizza Ranch customers using more than 29
spaces. Mr. Stensland indicated that HOM Furniture looks at the agreement
as a whole and would not have a problem with Pizza Ranch using more than
29 spaces.
• The freestanding sign that is currently in front of the building will hold up to
3 individual tenant signs, and with a sign permit Pizza Ranch is able to
