1. Jerry R. Tydeman, 156 Hiway Avenue, requesta a variance allowing him
to operate a four-wheel drive specialty equipment retail outlet business
at his residence. Mr. Tydeman proposes to build a 24 foot x 50 foot
garage with no side yard requirement but with 125 foot setback at front.
Mr. Tydeman also requests to place a lighted sign 1 foot x 8 foot and only
3 foot above the ground and 2 foot from the front yard property line and
attached to the fence along the present driveway.

of signs from zoning ordinance which allows only 2 sq ft in area, unlighted
and attached to building. Chairman Branson also suggested the business be
held down to sales only, the sign be according to ordinance and 5 foot
side yard setback be required and that all welding be done inside building.

a variance which he disapproves.
Allen Martin made motion the commission recommend the council does not
grant the variance to build the building with no setback and does not
grant sign variance request. Peters seconded with all commission members
in favor of motion.
Mr. Tydeman stated he hoped to move into a commercial zone when his
business enlarged so he could. Mr. Tydeman also said he would probably
not be working on more than two vehicles at a time. In discussion the

reviewed once a year.

conditional use be granted Mr. Tydeman to operate his business with no
more than two vehicles outside garage, all work be performed insdd.e building,
be strictly a family operation, an unlighted sign 1 ft x 8 ft be allowed
three ft above the ground, building comply with zoning setback requirements
and entrance to garage and parking area be graveled. Rodney Parrish
seconded with Martin, Peters and Parrish voting yes and Menard voting no.

hearing requests. Parrish felt two would be sufficient. Menard said he felt a
committee of three should work on subdivision ordinances. Allen Martin also
suggested the commission meet at 7:30 to discuss agenda for the evening and to be
