Planner Michaelis reviewed the project details, with a recommendation to approve. The applicant Justino Limon who is a longtime resident of Brier, expressed the need for more space due to their growing family.

Dave Johnson of Brier, would have liked to see this lot allowed to be short platted rather than a conditional use application, mainly because it would have required the applicant to install a sidewalk.
