SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR THE ADDITION OF 2, 920 SQUARE FEET ONTO AN EXISTING ,
PRIVATE GARAGE (BEDDOR) , ON PROPERTY ZONED IOP, INDUSTRIAL OFFICE PARK AND
LOCATED ON LOTS 1 AND 2, BLOCK 2, PARK ONE THIRD ADDITION, FORTIER AND
ASSOCIATES.
Jo Ann Olsen '
presented the staff report.
Emmings: Daryl , do you have any comments? '
Daryl Fortier : I 'm Daryl Fortier with Fortier and Associates. We are
pretty much in agreement with the staff report. We hope it' s a brief I
report for you tonight. The additional landscaping , point 2 on the staff
recommendations , we would like to simply see the provisions for caliper
inch per caliper inch basis deleted and say that we will work with staff
and the DNR forester for appropriate replacement. Our simple concern here II
is that if the owner wishes , as he' s expressed , to keep the center of the
site free, we are losing 6 trees in this area and we' ve already proposed
landscaping around the edges . If it' s caliper inch per caliper inch , we '
would have to be putting in so many trees, we think there's a real crowding
problem. We would rather simple say let' s look at the actual trees and
meet with staff and the DNR forester rather than make the provision that it II
be caliper inch per caliper inch. We' re not objecting to replacing trees .
We are proceeding with the replat that Jo Ann suggested. The issue of
outside storage, I think she suggested , that ' s actually located right at
this location. He has a flatbed trailer which is about 24 inches high or
so to haul his vehicles to different shows and different events . Parking
and driveway curb and gutter . I 'm sure that ' s fine . . . Previously this
portion of the building was built and there was an exemption from curb and II
gutter . The curb and gutter for the property is along this portion of the
driveway and is all along the south portion of the driveway right up to the
building and that channels water to storm sewers in this location. The
remainder of the curbing was deleted specifically because the center of
this site is used for auto contour shows . Mr . Beddor has two automotive
clubs that he operates out of his garage. They do not store their cars
there but he does invite them there for display and car shows . Only one
that I know of that I ' ve attended so I really can ' t say that this is
frequent but I can say that there are a number of cars . I think last time
there were about 60 cars that showed up and they are II
Y parked on the grass
and they go out in an array pattern with a main tent , their hospitality in
this location. Curbs would be very difficult to drive over , especially for
a bulk of the cars . They simply wouldn ' t do it so the provision of curbs II
in this case would be defeating his purpose of having a specific facility
for automotive display and car shows . The second reason we want to keep
II ,Planning Commission Meeting
May 17, 1989 - Page 43
II the center of the site open is that one of the vehicles they' re storing
there is now a helicopter. It is a safety problem to land a helicopter on
a curb. Of course they have to land on skids . They don ' t necessarily have
wheels and after you land you have small wheels that drop down from the
I skids. You can think of it as a horse drawn sleigh if you will . The
runners are about the same size. The wheels are attached to the runners
I and you snap lock them into position. They are about 2 1/2 or 3 inches.
You then have to push the helicopter. It is a small 2
You then have to push the helicopter into storage. If person peiscover
curb of course you' re subject to damaging g you Youp is over a
you jar a fuel line loose or whatever the problem uwould tbe.YoThe asecond
en
IIthing is that pushing the helicopter back up the curb, once you' re in the
garage and you try to push it over a curb, it' s a real tough problem. You
simply can' t do it with 3 inch wheels when you have a 6 inch curb. The
Irunners would prevent you from pulling the helicopter into position unless
we were to make a special asphalt helicopter landing pad . That would be
II the only alternative and it would have to be large enough so of course you
have some safety margin and that' s the reason we' re requesting no concrete
curb and gutter. The final point I 'd like to clarify is the applicant
shall submit for approval by the City a drainage and erosion control plan.
This is a little more complex. There are actually two
II Y proposals before you
tonight . One is for drainage improvements in accordance with the previous
engineering plans for all of Park One which envisioned that at some time we
II would connect from Lyman Lumber ' s overflow with an underground storm sewer
pipe to the public system. This could never be built as part of the Park
One improvements because it ' s on private property. It' s a private
improvement and we cannot spend the funds for it. We' re now intending to
I do that . It ' s this reason that we ' ll lose trees . The issue of ponding and
so forth has been raised by the engineer but it ' s already been addressed .
The 20 acres in the northerly part of Park One has created a very large
outlot down here. Part of the Ver-Sa-Til project contains this large duck
I pond that we' ve created in the site and maintained trees . Create a natural
site. That' s intending to drain all of Park One. It ' s been appropriately
sized for settlement and contains . . .so we would not have individual holding
I ponds in small lots . The lots were simply too small so we' ve already sized
them and did all the engineering . . .public funds partially and partially
project funds and it ' s been assessed against the property so we 'd like to
I calculated. greater
calculations been
we are not even approaching tzons and
pproaching anything near that for runoff capacity.
II Secondly, a grading plan. There is literally no grading involved with the
exception of excavating for footings on the garage. The site does not
require any grading. It ' s already perfectly flat. Our survey has been
II submitted . The reason the engineer doesn ' t see any grading changes is
because we' re not changing grades by more than a couple of inches and our
surveyer cannot be that accurate. Neither can our contractor so he may
have missed the grading plan but it is indeed there . The issue of erosion
II control has been addressed and again it may have been overlooked but it is
actually being addressed as part of the storm sewer line. We have asked
for silt fences and we have asked for 5 cubic yards of rip rap to be placed
at this location. This is the very same standards we use in the
1 construction of all the improvements in Park One including the City' s
public improvements so we think that ' s adequate and since it ' s the same
Planning
g Commzsszon Meeting
May 17, 1989 - Page 44 • ,
standard that the engineer has participated in approving as well as the
city' s consulting engineers, we feel that should be adequate on the present
plans as we' ve requested . With those comments , we have no objections to
the staff report. ,
Conrad : What do you agree with?
Daryl Fortier : We certainly agree that , I 'm not sure why, it' s a large '
issue, we are not imposing utilities for this. It is intended to be
essentially dry storage for this if you will . There is not intended to be
any maintenance but I 'm not sure why we want to put a condition suggesting II
that they never do maintenance. If it' s going to be approved as a
commercial permanent structure which is what the Council wanted, I 'm not
sure why we' re limiting it. He has no intent of doing repairs but I 'm not II
sure why we are limiting it.
Olsen : Because we got into all those traps .
Daryl Fortier: If we put in drainage, then we have to worry about pumps.
We put in sanitary sewer connection onto the building as previously
requested. We did that immediately during construction. It has flammable II
waste traps . It has oil separators . It has a hydraulic lift . It has a
parts washer. It has solvent recovery. It meets all the requirements. It
has testing facilities and where the fuel tank can be monitored on a weekly
basis if necessary. Yearly by the State Inspector. I think we' re in
full compliance with absolutely all the concerns previously listed for this
structure. One of the concerns is whether or not it drains. If we put in
drains . . .all the protection. In this case there are no drains . No
proposals to hook up plumbing whatsoever so the ability to do those types
of repairs to provide water just doesn ' t exist . I 'm just not sure why
we' re making it an issue. We certainly agree with replacing of the trees II
for the forester , point 2. We certainly agree to proceed with the plat. We
agree no additional outside storage should be permitted . It ' s an
industrial use. We would ask for an exemption for point 5. We think the
curb and gutter should be deleted for the reasons I mentioned . Not for
economics but for other hardship reasons and we would agree that we will
discuss or we will consult with staff concerning grading and so forth but
we believe we' ve already submitted sufficient information and it perhaps
deals with mutliple plans that ' s been overlooked . That ' s all unless you
have questions .
Emmings : Let' s see if there are any comments here . Jim, have you got any
comments?
Wildermuth : No . I
Batzli : How do you feel about the curb and gutter?
Wildermuth: We didn ' t require it the first time, why do we need it the
second time?
Ellson : Ah ha . There ' s that precedent that you just said about the last
guy. You' ll ask him the next time he comes in but as soon as he does ,
It
- , Planning Commission Meeting
May 17, 1989 - Page 45
he ' ll say but I didn' t do it the first time .
Batzli : I was going to talk about condition 1 a little bit first of all.
I guess my question was whether we would allow maintenance or repair of
automobiles anywhere on the site or were you only trying to limit it in
that new building?
j Olsen : The reason that I put that condition in was if they do start the
11 repair and maintenance then we get into the other things that the other
garage had to do with the traps . That ' s the only reason I had that
I condition in there was so they would not be doing that work in there
without having the accommodations for it.
II Batzli : Okay, so the garage and the new facility are the same thing?
Olsen : Yes .
II Batzli : So really what you ' re saying is , you ' re only going to use the new
facility as a garage and if you use it for anything else, you've got to
talk about it. That' s what you' re trying to say?
IIOlsen: That's what I 'm trying to say.
Batzli : I think I would go along with landscaping being 'done on a staff
I approval basis. I think that the curb and gutter , there' s a certain amount -
of logic to it but I think that you can make a little ramp or something . I
don' t think it ' s the kind of thing where you eliminate all of the curb and
I gutter throughout the entire site because you ' re going to drive some cars
on the grass. Finally I think condition 6, if that is the case then I
think the condition should remain but add something to the effect that
these things only have to be submitted if required after consultation with
Ithe City staff .
Emmings : Now Annette . What about curb and gutter?
IEllson: This doesn ' t have it because originally this was never required
right? Not because we gave them an exemption at one point?
IOlsen: I don' t remember . I don' t know if we even required it.
Wildermuth : Curbing was waived right?
IConrad: The first time it was waived .
IEllson : That really doesn ' t matter now but . . .
Conrad: It really appeared at that time
y pp that it served no purpose.
IEllson : Then why do we have it as an ordinance? Then maybe it should be
looked at on a case by case basis but if we write it in there that
everything around here should have it and yet we use it and enforce it on a
I case by case basis , then it ' s stupid to have it in there so I 'd just as
soon follow what the ordinance says . Like Brian said , like have a cut out
I ,
I
Planning Commission Meeting

for a driveay to actually help the wheels get down. It might be easier '
than on the wet grass or something like that to have a little concrete ramp
or who knows what that ' s connected to a curb. I would be satisfied if Jo
Ann said the tree replacement is good enough, then I go along with her
saying. If Dave were here though I know he'd want 1 inch for 1 inch, an
eye for an eye.
Erhart: What happens if it' s a 12 inch tree?
Ellson: I know. That' s just it. We' re going to have to decide that.
I think there' s some merit to the reason we were going to that is because
we really lost something once and never returned so I 'm giving Jo Ann that
leeway. But I want the curb and I think number 6 should stand . If they've
got it in, then just show it to them that it is here. I 'm done. '
Conrad : I thought this was a simple deal but now that we get into it and
Daryl doesn' t like most of the staff report, I think we should table.
There are too many technical things that I just don ' t understand . I think II
he had a comment. It showed me that the engineer is not looking at what is
there and I 'd like the engineer to comment to me about the issues and I 'm
not smart enough to figure out whether we should or should not require curb II
and gutter here . The engineer said the grading plan yet Daryl says hey,
we' re not doing anything . Something ' s askew and it ' s not for me to make
up. I think I would recommend tabling it . '
Olsen : The engineer does understand that he wants to still drive up there
and stuff.
Conrad : He ' s still saying that . But I hear from Daryl , I heard some
comments from him that it didn' t sound like there was communication and
maybe some different points . Maybe that ' s not the one but others . I don ' t II
know. I don' t know whether curb and gutter should be required here. I
know we slipped it the first time through.
Olsen: Again, we were waiting until the mini-storage and further ,
development.
Conrad : Daryl , just one other comment . The trailers are now being stored II
outside. Is that taken care of? The staff comment to us was that existing
garage is used for storage/maintenance. Site is conforming to the request
and conditions of the site but there are trailers being stored outside
which was not anticipated in the beginning . So is this new plan taking
care of that? They' re saying we ' re storing one trailer between buildings
but what about the trailers that are currently outside now?
Daryl Fortier : I 'm only aware of one trailer that' s outside right now.
There may be more . If there are more it ' s probably because we pulled them
out of storage so he could do something in the garage. There is presently
room in here . They do store a trailer inside but he recently purchased , I
understand , a larger trailer which sits in here. That' s the only trailer
I 'm aware of which is too large for the structure .
Conrad: Staff is saying trailers are being stored outside.

Olsen : The day that we visited, there were 2 or 3 on the lot .
Daryl Fortier: I think that could be much like saying cars are stored
outside. He had brought these out and put them out here. . .
Erhart: I visited the site this evening and it' s a very neat site.
Regarding , well let ' s take one at a time here. Not having maintenance in a
building. What 's this trap you ' re referring to Jo Ann?
Olsen: I believe the first time they went through they had to have a
special trap for the fuel oil .
Wildermuth : For spills.
Olsen: There was a lot of discussion on that.
' Erhart : Any building in any industrial , in any garage a guy can pull a car
in and maintain it.
Wildermuth : But with that original garage I think there' s a floor lift and
a wash station and all kinds of areas for working on cars .
Erhart : The problem with this condition is that , then we ought to apply
' this condition to everybody. Everybody that' s got an overhead door in the
city ought to have this condition applied to it.
Emmings : My recollection of this Tim, and I don ' t know if it helps or not ,
is that what I remember us saying when we considered this is what we ' re
creating here is essentially a service station. The same kinds of
consideration ought to be given to this building as would be given to a
' service station because that' s essentially what it is . It ' s private rather
than. . .
II Erhart: But someone doesn ' t come in with their car to have it fixed that
he charges them does he?
Emmings : No but he ' s got the same equipment and doing the same kinds of
things that would be done down at the Standard station.
Erhart : I do that at my home too in my garage.
IIConrad: Not everyday. Not multi-cars .
I Erhart : I don ' t think anybody feels strong about condition 1. To me it
also seems pretty much over control .
II Batzli : This is a commercial area and you ' re not . This would be a
permitted use in this area .
Erhart : I could pull a car into my industrial plant too and tear the
engine out, there' s no one that says I can ' t do that .

Ellson: They wouldn' t like it though. ,
Olsen : If you ' re going to do it, we just like to know that everything else
is taken care of that needs to be done as part of it. ,
Ellson : He didn ' t seem to have a problem with that one. He had a few he
had a problem with, that wasn' t one of them.
Erhart : Let ' s move on. I agree with him it seems a little bit over
control . The next one on the landscaping. Essentially the line where that
ditch is right now, essentially is just grown over and to go in and measure II
which trees are caliper per caliper basis could mean that you have to move
the, you might have to just literally that whole edge of the lot to replace
caliper to caliper so I don't know. I 'd be just satisfied to say
additional landcaping shall be provided as required by staff and just use
good judgment on it because it's very difficult to use a technical approach
to it. The outside storage, in other industrial sites there' s outside
storage and then the whole thing has to be screened right and here we' re
allowing an exception essentially by allowing one outside.
Olsen: It is essentially screened on 3 sides . '
Erhart : Yes , the whole area is pretty wooded . I guess I don ' t have a
problem with 4 leaving it the way it is even though technically I supposed
it might be not in accordance with our rules . The next thing is the curb
and gutter. I think in this case the specific intention of the use of this
owner here , in the first place there ' s a lot of asphalt there now for the
small lot and none of it' s curbed and gutter so to go in and require curb
and gutter on this new section would mean you have about 20% curb and
gutter and 80% just like your home driveway which would really look out of
place. Now how I can justify in my mind allowing this building owner not
require curb and gutter is that he has a specific requirement that he needs
his driveway tailored in the manner in which it is . The Level of the
asphalt is level with the green grass and I think we ' re not setting a
precedent . Somebody else would have to come in with a specific need to
have their asphalt driveway the same level as the grass so I guess I don' t
have any problem in extending essentially the same rules on that.
Batzli : Can I interrupt just for a second Tim? What did we do with, was
it Lyman Lumber that had the asphalt strip and then behind it they had a
bunch of piles of rock and stuff and they were going to use, I don' t know
if they were going to use forklifts or frontend loaders or something . Did I
we make them have gutter? I think we did .
Wildermuth : The unusual part about this thing is that the applicant is
going to use a commercial location in an industrial office park location
for a non-commercial use . I don ' t know if you ' ve been in there but a lot
of houses that are built look like the inside of this garage. '
Erhart : The exterior is definitely, it ' s definitely an industrial
building .
Wildermuth : Yes right .
B
' Planning Commission Meeting
May, 17, 1989 - Page 49
IErhart : It' s a good quality industrial but it is an industrial building so
it fits in from that standpoint . Lastly, where is this grading thing in
Ithese conditions? Is that in here?
Conrad : The last one . Daryl is saying there ' s not much grading to do.
I Erhart: Okay, I think we should just leave 6 the way it is and let the
applicant and the City hash that one out and I guess I 'd like to pass this
on to Council. i think it' s ready to go .
IEmmings: I'd like to ask you about the helicopter . I wonder if we knew we
had an airport in town and can you basically have a helicopter anywhere you
want to?
IOlsen : We don ' t have any restrictions against them. We have
had
complaints about the helicopter.
IEmmings: This was proposed and approved as a garage for automobiles . I
know I don 't know what ' s going on with the helicopter or if there are any
IIsafety issues or noise issues or anything else.
Olsen: But we are getting complaints . We ' re working through public safety
on how to address it. We don ' t have any definitive answers . The zoning
I ordinance doesn' t regulate them and we ' re working with public safety to
possibly regulate them. I know that Prince has one on his site too and
they just have to meet the FAA.
IEmmings: They' d probably pre-empt anything we ' d do . I don ' t know except
for something like noise or something .
IErhart : I would venture to guess that cities would have ordinances which
we ought to look at that would have some kind of space requirement. Some
distance requirements from a landing pad to a building and to the next
I person's property. I ' ve just got to believe that that would be common in
an ordinance regarding helicopters .
I Olsen: What we ' re working on now is we ' re telling the resident that when
you hear the noise or whatever, try to get somebody out there to test it.
Use the noise ordinance and it ' s not going to work.
1 Batzli : Did we have a noise ordinance?
Olsen : Yes .
IIBatzli : The beefed up one didn ' t pass but we have a noise ordinance?
II Olsen: It ' s more of a nuisance ordinance rather than a noise ordinance.
So we have no way to deny them.
Ellson: Hours of operation maybe .

Emmings : I don ' t know if we should table it or pass it on. I guess I 'd be
comfortable in passing it on but I think there are things that need to be
worked out between now and when the City Council gets it . Things like
traps and stuff, it seems to me you only worry about a trap if you've got a II
drain and there aren' t any drains so I 'm not that concerned about number 1.
Number 2, I agree with everybody else that it should be done by the staff
and we don ' t have to worry about a caliper inch by caliper inch . That' s
because Dave' s not here and that' s the only reason I have the courage to
say that. I don' t see any reason now to impose curb and gutter . If we let
it go before looking for some kind of a reason we thought to be valid at
the time, I don ' t see any reason to impose it on this small section. I
think we should keep in number 6 and you should just discuss your
differences with the city engineer prior to going to the City Council .
That's all I 've got. Any other discussion on this? If not, is there a
motion?
Erhart: I ' ll move the Planning Commission recommend approval of Site Plan
#89-3 for the construction of a 2, 920 sq. ft. garage facility as shown on 11
the Site Plan dated April 13 , 1989 with the conditions as follows . Number
2, change to additional landscaping shall be provided as required by staff.
3 as stated here . 4 as stated changing the word "the transport flatbed" to II
"1 transport flatbed" . Number 5, all parking and driveway areas shall be
paved period . And 6 as is. And that ' s it .
Batzli : Did you delete number 1? ,
Erhart : Yes .
Olsen : And number 5 I changed just to say all parking and driveway areas
shall be paved.
Emmings: We could do that one like we did on Stockdales . You could say a
unless the City Engineer determines .
Erhart : Ours is a recommendation so if the City Engineer came to the '
Council .
Emmings : I mean unless the City Engineer determines now or in the future
that curb and gutter is necessary. . . Just a suggestion.
Conrad : That ' s a good way to do it .
Emmings : Alright, we' ve got a motion. Do we have a second?
Wildermuth : I ' ll second the motion . ,
Batzli : I 'd like to see condition 1 in them and I would also at a minimum
like to see your proposed . . . '
Ellson : Gutter idea?
Batzli. : Gutter idea but the problem I see is that , the only reason I
really agreed on the guttering last time is he ' s not in a sewered area
It
I . Planning Commission Meeting
May 17, 1989 - Page 51
I and it didn' t make sense to me. To me gutter is directed to a storm sewer
as well as maintaining erosion, or keeping erosion at bay. I think if we
do this , we might as well be doing it on everyone that we do from here on
out.
I
Wildermuth : But have you seen the site Brian? The initial portion , 80% of
it isn ' t going to be guttered.
IBatzli : That might be true but I can ' t help what they did before. Maybe
did it before. Maybe I didn' t know any better . y I
IEmmings: I think it was your motion.
Batzli : Maybe it was but I guess the argument was somewhat appealing.
I However , I guess you can do it by other. means .
Wildermuth: This is a unique situation. It' s a non-commercial use of a
Icommercial area .
Erhart : The only problem is if the guy sells the property to somebody who
I then wants to use it for a commercial use and it doesn' t have curb and
gutter . If you' re starting fresh from the site , that ' s probably a good
enough argument to require it and it probably should have been required .
IWildermuth : Initially?
Erhart : Yes . The fact that the site is already 70% developed .
IElison: Then isn ' t that exactly what ' s going to happen when Stockdale
expands and we just put that in. We ' ll want him to put that in when he
Iexpands and now we ' ll have the same viewpoint.
Wildermuth : He has to come back if he expands .
I Ellson: I know like they' re coming back with the idea that we curb and
gutter as he got bigger which is the idea behind Stockdale and we ' re not
doing it now we won ' t do it then. Pretty soon we ' ll have 50-50. Half have
Iit, half don' t.
Emmings : I don ' t think that ' s a realistic danger at all because when
Stockdale' s place gets water and sewer , as part of the IOP, everything
I there is going to be torn down and that place is going to be redeveloped
and that' s different.
IWildermuth : Not a comparison.
Emmings : But it ' s funny we get two of these on the same night . It makes
Iit so hard that you have to justify so many things .
Daryl Fortier : Maybe I can help. . .wi. th curb and gutters . One of the
differences first of all on this plan is that ever since Frank first held
I out these two pieces of property for personal use , it was because such a
use at his other residential lots would have been inappropriate and after
•
Plannin g C ommission Meeting '
May 17, 1989 - Page 52 I
talking with staff we had to put it somewhere. You earlier had a proposal II
in here for townhomes and the object is , where do they store their boats
and trailers and you said well they' ll rent a space. Where do you do it
when you' ve got multiple vehicles? Not in a residential district so we
wind up here. . . . that this is indeed the best use , ever since though
however, why didn' t he just set aside one lot? He's been following a
master plan and that master plan is still being reflected and eventually it
will have another driveway connected here. That' s exactly why the storm 11
sewer has been located by the City and by the developer . We are following
a pattern. It' s not a haphazard development. It is a master plan and it is
proceeding in accordance with the original designs . The curbing has been •
stopped here. It has been extended over this side. That is along the
perimeter of the property. It will be continued along the perimeter of the
property including this portion thus all the perimeter of the property will II
be paved , curbed and guttered in accordance with the ordinance even if it
were to be transferred to someone else. It would be fully. That will
still keep the center portion of the site open . It will contain already
water and runoff. It will serve all the purposes of being curbed and
guttered . The future owner may or may not paved this or may or may not do
something else with it 5 or 10 years down the road but a better idea may
well be to support this since this is following a master plan , all
perimeters of the property will require curb and gutter to serve a
permanent statement or a compromise position and that ' s , whenever he makes
any additional cuts in here or adds to this perimeter area , he would indeed
have to add curb and gutter . I
Emmings : But we ' re not seeing any perimeter work on this plan so I don' t
think it would make sense to add it as a condition here. When he adds that II
driveway over there , would that come back to us or would it just go to the
engineer?
Olsen : Are you talking like the mini-storage?
Daryl Fortier : Right. He' s already proposed the second driveway in here .
Olsen : If he just put the driveway in , no but if they come in with a site
plan for mini-storage, then yes we would see that .
Emmings : If he put the driveway in , where does the driveway go?
Daryl Fortier: The driveway goes right in front of this future building
and connects from here to here .
Olsen: It would be part of that mini-storage addition.
Daryl Fortier : That ' s correct .
Olsen: Then you would see it.
Wildermuth : What kind of a mini -storage addition is this going to be?
Daryl Fortier : Mr . Beddor seems to becoming a collector of things . Some '
of them look like, I noticed that he ' s looked at some Jaguars recently and
. Planning Commission Meeting
May. 17, 1989 - Page 53
I he may well become a vintage car collector in which case it would be
private mini-storage. He also has a few friends who would say they would
like to store their vehicle here so he stores all his own vehicles but if
I he ever wanted to invite personal friends to also store or other members of
the car club, he would undoubtedly put them in these mini-storage. It
would again be for vehicles . That' s the best I can predict at this time
but you ' re fully informed at least .
IEmmings: I 'm glad somebody has a master plan.
I Daryl Fortier : That ' s part of what the previous Council and Planning
Commission was based on. There is curb and gutter along this area. Also
along both sides of the driveway to make sure that any runoff coming from
II the site is funneled in this storm sewer. It was not a blanket statement
saying no curb and gutter required .
Emmings: And the site isn' t being changed. Are there any existing
Iproblems with runoff or erosion or anything else?
Daryl Fortier: From this area, all the erosion and runoff would go
II immediately to this small area where we have erosion control measures and
this new holding pond is going to happen because we cannot prevent it.
It ' s a low lying area that it will fill up if there' s an , unusual amount of
rain and that' s in addition to the previous pond for siltation and erosion
I control . So it' s well covered that any possible injury by not having curb
and gutter is just a miniscule possibility. Aside from any injury on his
property but to the public benefit there would be virtually no affect . I
' hope that helps somewhat.
Emmings : It just doesn ' t look like curb and gutter is going to make any
difference here. I guess if the City Engineer , if the motion passes the
Iway it' s schedule, if the City Engineer has a different opinion on that
when he gets to City Council . . .but the site , all of it seems to have been
taken care of on the site .
IEllson : But your motion you still didn ' t put number 1 in right?
I Batzli : And you didn ' t accept Steve ' s friendly amendment about the adding
it at a later date and that kind of thing?
Erhart: I ' ll do it if somebody wants it in there, I ' ll agree.
IBatzli : Do you agree with that amendment?
IIWildermuth: Sure.
Erhart moved , Wildermuth seconded that the Planning Commission recommend
I approval of Site Plan t#89-3 for the construction of a 2, 920 sq. ft . garage
facility as shown on the Site Plan dated April 13 , 1989 with the following
conditions :
I1. Additional landscaping shall be prov]ded as required by city staff .
■
i
Planning Commission Meeting
May 17, 1989 - Page 54 ,
2. The applicant shall receive a replat of the site to combine Lots 1 and
2, Park One.
3. There shall be no outside storage other than one (1) transport flat bed '
which shall be stored between the two garages .
4. All parking and driveway areas shall be paved and surrounded by ,
concrete curb and gutter only if now or in the future the City Engineer
determines that they are necessary.
5. The applicant shall submit for approval by the City Engineer a drainage "
and erosion plan prior to final approval .
Erhart, Emmings , Wildermuth and Batzli voted in favor of the motion and
Conrad and Ellson voted in opposition of the motion. The motion carried
with a vote of 4 to 2.
Ellson : I want number 1 in there.
Emmings : Annette wants number 1 in there . Ladd wants to table it.
Conrad: I think it should be tabled. There were 4 out of 6 points that
were disagreed to by the applicant versus staff and I think somethings, I '
would have preferred to have the engineer look at. I 'm also very concerned
about future owners and what this property looks like and I don ' t know that
that has been incorporated as a sale could occur . '
APPROVAL OF MINUTES : Conrad moved , Ellson seconded to approve the Minutes
of the Planning Commission meeting dated May 3 , 1989 as presented. All II
voted in favor except Batzli and Wildermuth who abstained and the motion
carried.
OPEN ,
N DISCUSSION.
Emmings : Do we want to add airports to our on-going? I was outside '
watering my garden this morning at about 6 : 15. A helicopter was out going
over TH 5 and I think it was probably one of the traffic reporters.
Conrad: The one that was out by our house had the ability to spray. Had
the big tubes on the bottom. y
Emmi.ngs: It was incredibly loud .
Batzli : Is there anything in the City ordinances about landing airplanes
with pontoons on them on the lakes? '
Emmings : Yes . Minnewashta is the only one that we ' ve got that they can do
that .
