(142^nd Street, just north of Cornhusker).

John Kottmann, representing Brook Valley explained how they intended to re-configure the lots and already have one sold. He showed, by map, where the storm sewer easements were located.

Timothy and Jan Vala, 12102 S. 180^th Street, requests approval of an amendment to an existing special use permit for Vala=s Pumpkin Patch on the following described property, to wit: A part of the NE1/4 of Section 5, Twp 13N, Rng 11E of the 6^th P.M., Sarpy County, Nebraska. (180^th & Schram Road)

Tim Vala introduced himself and briefly stated his intent to add new buildings to his pumpkin patch, but indicated he was not changing his hours of operation.

Penne Berry voiced her concern about increased traffic with the addition of new buildings, stating that she felt the one-lane bridge could only handle so much.

Mr. Vala responded by saying that he does not anticipate a tremendous amount of growth with the addition of new buildings.

Heather Grossman indicated she was concerned about the traffic, but was more concerned about the business opening year round. She felt she could put up with 6 or so weeks of traffic, but definitely did not want to see the business open year round.

Discussion ensued pertaining to road improvements and changing the zone on that land to a commercial zone.

Ken Tex stated that if Mr. Vala=s land was to go to a commercial zoning, it would cause his taxes to increase twenty fold and it would also allow him to remain open for business all year long.

Johnson moved, seconded by Nichols, to recommend approval of the amendments to his Special Use Permit because it is consistent with the original permit. Ballot: Ayes - Buller, Denny, Johnson, Matthies, Mangiamelli and Nichols. Nays - none. Absent - Gottsch, Leonard, Wees and Wear. Motion carried.

(21201 Harrison Street)

Jim Nelson (for Terri Dolezal) explained that the monopole was being constructed in that location to correct service in that area. He said they have signed a lease agreement with the Brugmann family. He also indicated that, because the height was less than 200', there would be no lighting requirements and that the tower will be available for co-locating.

It was explained that the permit would remain in effect as long as Aliant (Airtouch) owns the cell tower. It was also clarified that if Aliant merged with another company, as opposed to being bought out, they would not need to come in for a new permit.
