1. Walter L. Lang Conditional Use Permit for construction
equipment sales and service facility situated in an M-1
(Light Industrial) zone and located on the east side of
the West Valley Highway in the 2600-2700 blocks.
(14-84)
Gary Volchok, representing Walt Lang, indicated there
were several recommendations they objected to. Their
specific objections centered around requirements in
Recommended Conditions Nos. 2 and 4 which included
fencing and landscaping.
A number of Councilmembers expressed concern over the
requirements possibly being excessive. Dugan explained
the landscaping and fencing requirements were to provide
buffering between the light and heavy industrial areas.
He indicated they wanted to make sure there is no affect
on the next adjacent property and the buffering is what
made the proposal acceptable.
Craig objected to Recommended Condition No. 7 which pro-
vided that the Planning Director approve the site plan.

the land for the pea channel when a decision was made
on the land.
No one else spoke for or against the request. MOTION by
Wisner, SECOND by Burns, to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Craig wondered why the City was still requiring dedica-
tion of land for an irrigation channel which probably
would never be built. Nevins reported that in the past
a considerable amount of land had been reserved in the
past. He indicated that whatever the solution will
eventually be this is one way to provide the land. The
other way would be condemnation which would bring
horrendous costs especially if buildings had been put on
the property. Bereiter indicated if the land was not
' needed they could ask for the land back later.
MOTION by Wisner, SECOND by Colburn, to approve the pre-
liminary plat based upon the applicable Findings of Fact
and subject to the conditions as outlined. MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
