Planner Gotfredson indicated that this is just a review of the Conditional Use Permit that was previously granted. It is only a follow-up to see how the permit holder is complying with the conditions that were provided for approval. No action is required. Planner Gotfredson stated that in reviewing the permit with the owner, he finds the business to be operating within the conditions set forth in the permit. Commissioner McLean asked if this would be reviewed again. Planner Gotfredson indicated it would not be. Item 5: Community/Economic Development Director Report and Items from Commissioners. Planner Gotfredson gave Commissioners an update on Lakemary, Paola Library, the Jackson Hotel and USD 368’s safety and security projects. He told Commissioners that the ribbon cutting for the trails in Wallace Park had been held recently. Commissioner McLean had inquired if there were any plans to paint the brick path in the alley that leads to the public restrooms just off the Square. Staff mentioned that it appeared to have been in the plans, but then an adjacent business had sewer repairs completed which had interfered with any work at the time. Planner Gotfredson informed Commissioners that a permit had been submitted for Rockers Pharmacy on Baptiste Drive and indicated he felt it would be a nice re-use of the building.
