and garage sale activity as an accessory use in an R-l (single

stated "All such sales shall be conducted between the hours of

and seconded by Richard Martie to approve the ordinance

sale activity as an accessory use in an R-1 district with the
following changes:

3.
Alter Section 3-10-3 (C) to read, "Limited open
sales and limited rummage/garage sales. (See
Permitted Accessory Sales, Chapter 6, Section 3, of
the Zoning Ordinance for regulations governing open
sales and rummage/garage sales.)"
Motion carried unanimously based on the finding that limited
open sales activity and garage sale activity should be
regulated in order to properly protect the character of
residential areas. Consignment sales and other large sales of
a commercial nature serve to detract from the residential
character of the R-l zone and, therefore, such activities
should be controlled. The proposed amendment will contribute
to the ability of the City to regulate such sales; therefore,
the ordinance amendment should be approved.
4.
Public Hearing--Consideration of an ordinance amendment that
would allow the City to withdraw a conditional use permit due
to violations of permit conditions. Applicant, City of
Monticello.
Upon the suggestion of Chairperson Dan McConnon to continue
this item, a motion was made by Richard Martie and seconded by
Cindy Lemm to continue this item until the next regularly
scheduled Planning Commission meeting. Motion carried
unanimously.

adult land uses.
Chairperson Dan McConnon asked that this item also be

a sketch plan review of the proposed new residential
subdivision to be known as Briar Oak Estates. Ms. Carlson
outlined the proposed development for the Planning Commission
members and answered questions they had.
