Gary Sonntag has reviewed the plans and has provided M13 Construction with a detailed plan review. There are still many items that need to be accomplished before final approval can be given. The DMV is currently located in the same building as the USDA offices. The USDA needs more space for their regional offices and needs the DMV to have their own office space. M13 Construction will review the plans with their engineer and return to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a final.

There will be offices, a restroom and stairway with a mezzanine on the North end of the property toward Intermountain Farmers. There will not be any public access to this addition. The new office space is for existing employees and will not be for additional bodies or vehicles. The Commission had concerns regarding the possible parking spaces that may be needed for this new addition. Mr. Levanger will call Nick Tatton with the answers to the Commission questions before coming back for a preliminary and final. A favorable recommendation for a Conditional Use Permit Concept Only with the recommendation to the City Council to waive the Building Permit and Conditional Use Fees was made by Commissioner Shook. Commissioner Richens seconded the motion. Motion carried.
