Commission approves expansion permit for Jennie O Turkey Store at 1010 Highway 34 East
Summary
The Planning Commission approved a nonconforming-use expansion permit allowing Jennie O Turkey Store to replace an existing 42-by-64 accessory building with a new 74-by-100, 7,400-square-foot structure; staff said the long-standing turkey hatchery use should not increase traffic, noise or parking impacts.
The Planning Commission opened a public hearing and approved a nonconforming-use expansion permit that will allow Jennie O Turkey Store at 1010 Highway 34 East to demolish an existing 42-by-64 accessory building and replace it with a new 74-by-100 accessory building totaling 7,400 square feet.
Larry, a city staff member, recommended approval to the commission, saying, "Staff recommends approval of the nonconforming use expansion permit to demolish the existing structure and replace it with the 7,400 square foot building at 1010 Highway 34 East." He told commissioners the property has operated as a turkey hatchery for decades and staff did not expect adverse impacts to traffic, noise, or parking.
Commissioners had no public comments and moved promptly to a decision. The chair moved to accept the staff recommendation, a committee member seconded the motion, and the commission approved it by voice vote. The commission did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript.
Next steps: staff said the permit will be reviewed by the Community Development Committee on the 10th at 11:30 a.m., and the CDC will forward a recommendation to the city council for final action the same day at 5:00 p.m.
