“the conditional use permit we're recommending one year so in one year we're going to reevaluate the situation and pmc recommended approval okay well i i'm uh i'm not comfortable with that because the the request is and i'm going to read it it says conduct a public hearing and consideration of a conditional use permit for a home occupation for the sale of firearms.

“Yes, it does. But it just reinforces my thought that we're allowing, we're approving. If we were to approve this conditional use permit, we're allowing the... We're approving the sale of firearms. However, we are putting a condition. Not to sell firearms. And so then it would be up to the city to oversee and enforce. But if we already think that there are no firearms being sold, what would we do?”

“You know, I think there's other ways to meet the applicant's needs. And getting his mail somewhere else other than 30 miles away. I've been, on planning and zoning for many, many years before my stint here at the council. I've never seen this before. So this is, it's conflicting and I would not want to move forward with this.”
