ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA: Consider Approval of a Resolution Authorizing the Removal of No Parking Signs on Green Heights Trail and Dutch A venue. Zieska: Explained that this action is a temporary measure until such time as the conditional use permit process is completed by the Captain Jack's ownership. Believed that a restaurant on the lake is important, and that Captain Jack's is a long-standing establishment in our community. It is no question that it is a difficult balancing act. The removal of the No Parking signs is basically along vacant property. The Council believes that this is a reasonable step, and we are hoping for results that will be different from those in the past. Additionally, one of the rationale for using the conditional use permit process is that it provides a process for public comment.
