mously carried to approve the minutes of the regular meeting
held on October 18, 1982 as presented.
2. Public Hearing - Pat Townsend - Conditional Use Permit.
Mr. Pat Townsend, who resides at 107 Locust Street, requested
a conditional use permit to open a minor auto repair shop at
this address. The legal description of his property is the
southerly 1/2 of Lots I and 2 - Block 50, which is currently
zoned B-4, regional business. Within this zoning district,
a minor auto repair shop is allowed as a conditional use
according to our ordinances.

Mr. Townsend explained that he currently does minor auto re-
pair work primarily working with transmissions. Mr. Townsend
presented letters from Mr. Dave Brouillard and Gary and De-
lores Block who indicated no objections to the minor repair
shop being operated at this location. In addition, Mr. Tom
Eidem, also a resident of the area, presented a letter in-
dicating no objections to the conditional use permit pro-
vided that the business be confined to existing structures
with no expansion until the area changes from its present
residential nature. In addition, Mr. Eidem requested that all
related materials be stored in doors and that customers
vehicles be limited to two at one time.
Mr. Townsend indicated that he would like the conditional use
permit on a temporary basis for one or two years as his plans
are if the business develops, he would be looking for an al-
ternative site to operate.
Hearing no direct opposition from the neighborhood residents,
a motion was made by Schaffer, seconded by Carlson and unani-
mously carried to recommend granting a temporary one year con-
ditional use permit to Mr. Townsend for the minor auto repair
business at 107 Locust Street provided that only existing
buildings are used in the business with no expansion permitted
