Chair Jackson opened the public hearing for discussion. 

Becky Sims, Zoning Administrator/Assistant City Secretary advised the Commission of the following: 
•	The property owner is asking the Commission to consider approving a Specific Use Permit to allow parking of tractors and mowers for advertisement. The building will remain vacant and there will be signage on who to contact for equipment. 
•	The property is zoned Retail, 25 notices were sent to property owners within a 200 ft radius; 1 letter in favor of the request was received and none in protest. 

Chair Jackson questioned open storage and work area; advised that the purpose of this request is to display John Deere Equipment; there will be no work area.  Open Storage, Display, or Work Area for Merchandise or Machinery in an area zoned Retail “R” is defined in our Zoning Regulations as a permitted use with a Specific Use Permit.  This is the use found to be closely related to the request of the applicant. The display is for advertisement only as outlined in the application request by the property owner. 

There were no citizens comments and with no additional comments the Public Hearing was closed.
