Ms. Fitzpatrick reported on current projects in East Wenatchee which included revitalization, signage with the Department of Transportation, signs at the city's entrances, landscaping along the bridge entrance to the city and the sign from the Port District for East Wenatchee. She added the Chamber ' was hoping to add some color with banners year round instead of just holidays. RECOMMENDATION 94-04-01 An application from Northern Fruit to amend the EWMC Title 17, Chapter 17.40 C-M Community Commercial District to allow retail fruit sales City Planner Campbell said the application had been received and reviewed by the Planning Commission at a public hearing. He said the Council could adopt the findings as presented, modify the findings, reject the recommendation, remand the issue back to the Planning Commission, or Council could hold their own public hearing. Mr. Campbell said Northern Fruit was asking for the change to allow them to expand their operation within their present borders and boundaries and to allow retail fruit sales. Councilmember Nash expressed concern of doing a text amendment for one business when a conditional use could accomplish the same thing. Mr. Campbell said Northern Fruit now operated with an existing non -conforming use and therefore was limited by the I code. - 2 - - E - 3a3nse93y/xaaT0 AiTo yOia3gsa0 '3 Ei�T63�A w'd 61:8 - ZN3HKUflOfOy w•d ST:8 ge pauanuooad •sagnutw AljTgq 3aggOuE 3o; w•d Oq:L qe uOTssas agg panuiguoo sbuTITOD 3odeH •w•d SZ:L qe pauanuoO uOFssas anignoax3 uoTje6TjTj pue dg3adoid buip3e593 uoissas anignoaxa agnutw uaaq;i; a paTTEo s6uTlloo 3odeH uoigebigtZ - dl3ado3d - NOISS39 3AI11103%3 •uOTIvzOT 3aquao E 3o; buTpun; buip3eba3 asngn; 3eau agq ui Tiouno0 og uotgeguasaad a 6u2xEw aq pTnoM laqua0-uOFgFgTyx3 pue sg3y etgwnToO aqy pees sbuTTTOD 3odeH 1HOaHU S,UOdyH •p-y 'AlsnOMTueun pat33eO uotgow ayy apo0 TedTDTunH aagogeuaM gse3 ayg puawe og dTbucp3ooae pag;e3p aq TTFM aoueuip3o uy uoxsszwwoD 6utuueTd aqg dq papuawwooa3 se s6uipat; pue sgae; ayg anOadde og MoxTH 3agwawlTzunoo dq puooas •sxoTJpuaH 3agw9wjTouno0 dq apew sen uoigow y :uOTIOy ITouno0 V66T '6 gIHdy S3,L(1NIH IIONno5 33HDlvN3M ISy3 3o AIIJ
