the pond's purpose as a temporary sediment basin, which will eventually become a dry basin as the project progresses. During the meeting, the discussion focused on the erosion of muddy soil during construction and its restoration after seeding. The conversation touched on the 2013 code requiring developers to manage water on their land, and it was confirmed that mitigation for mosquitoes would be required if a pond remained wet. The site in question had been cleared, and the existing pond was intended to be converted into a dry retention basin. There was also a detailed discussion about the final plan approval process, landscaping requirements, and concerns about screening, mosquito control, and potential future developments on the site. The developer expressed willingness to address these concerns, including working on a screening plan, controlling mosquitoes, and considering future fencing needs based on the tenant's requirements. Mr. David motioned to recommend approval to City Council of 85-2024 Dale Schmidt Industrial Park and ask for a second. Seconded by Mr. Leon A discussion took place about incorporating rain and mosquito mitigation into a project. Concerns were raised about the adequacy of a dry basin and potential issues with water management on the property. There was a debate on whether the plan should be modified or a variance sought, especially concerning the landscaping buffer. The applicant expressed frustration over delays and errors in the review process. Ultimately, a condition was proposed and approved to plant green giant Arborvitaes at 10 -foot intervals along a 250 - foot stretch, with updated plans to be submitted before the City Council review.

A case was discussed where a vape shop attempted to open in the city but claimed it was not a vape shop. The city had no specific definition of a vape shop, leading to complications. Collaborating with the law director and public safety director, a comprehensive definition was created to regulate vape shops locally. The goal was to prevent an overconcentration of vape shops in certain areas. A debate ensued about whether the requirement for 51% of floor space dedicated to vape products was sufficient, with some advocating for a lower percentage to tighten regulations. Ultimately, opinions varied on whether the 51% threshold was adequate or if a stricter standard should be implemented.
