hearing. With a voice vote of all ayes the motion carried.
Mr. Sterrett stated that Jim Beavers of Jigged Ventures is requesting an amendment to the PUD for
Lot 1 of Jigged Ventures Subdivision to add “Motor Vehicle Sales, Internet Based” to the Permitted
and Prohibited Use List to include as a permitted use in the ORI zoned lots for Unit 117 on Lot 1

vehicles stored inside the building are those that have been purchased online to be picked up locally
from the subject site.
No site work is proposed as part of the amendment or the operation. Furthermore, no exterior
modifications to the building are proposed. The petitioner is proposing modifications inside the
building including installing an existing 8’ x 10’ entryway within an existing wall for maneuvering
cars within the building, as well as a new 12’ x 12’ office area at the front of the building. The
proposed work will require approval of a building permit prior to work commencing.

approval of the proposed amendment to the Preliminary PUD for Lot 1 of the Jigged Ventures
Subdivision with the following conditions:

iv. No display or signage may be installed on the property or on the exterior of the building,
other than a flush mounted sign identifying the name of the business, which indicates the

in. Attorney Kasson provided background on the requested amendment and the need to amend the
PUD to allow for internet based motor vehicle sales. Mr. Rallo explained his business operation and
