	Chairperson Curtis opened discussion to the Board.
	Bob Palmer said Ms. Birchmeier has done a wonderful presentation job, but this was
	the area that the Board wanted to restrict outside sales. Mr. LaMay takes care of the
	property now so he has no doubt he will keep it up when he has the sheds on it. The
	proposed use is consistant with the Master Plan.
	Ben Ranger asked how long the Special Land Use permit is for and Palmer said it
	lasts forever. He also asked if sheds would be built on the property and was told no.
	Max Schweitzer asked if the property was south of the outside trailer sales and was
	told yes, it was.
	Ben Ranger noted that Todd Massey has a special land use permit for a modular
	home office site, so this request is consistant with the area.
	Gery Giltinan asked if the only signage was on the west side.
	Ben Ranger asked if there were any other businesses in the area that sold sheds
	besides Clio Lumber and was told no.
	Scott Preseau asked if the trees on the site plan were existing and was told yes.
	Corinne Birchmeier said that the ordinance says they are allowed three signs and
	they will say "model" and have a phone number and perhaps the cost.
	Vernon Curtis said he would prefer one sign instead of three, and Ms. Birchmeier
	said she would be agreeable to one sign.
	Chairperson Curtis noted 13 notifications to neighbors had been sent.
	Motion by Ranger, seconded by Schweitzer to approve the Special Land Use for
	David LaMay with one (1) sign for the display of sheds.

	for May 12, 2003 at 6:00pm. All ayes, motion carries.
	2.  Rowe Proposal: The consensus of the Board was that if the project is complicated

	3.  City Planning Commission. Vernon Curtis reported that he had met with the City's
	Planning Commission Chairperson, Doug Vance, and he is agreeable to having
	Vienna Township do their Planning work.
