MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JULY 9, 2003 <br />Commission. Germanson replied that while it is not shown on this plan, <br />the parking will be pulled back five feet closer to the building. <br />Germanson reported that the number of parking spaced on Lot 2 have been <br />increased from 96 to 132. He also indicated that 70 parking spaces have <br />been added to Lot 3 for a total of 96. These 70 additional spaces on Lot 3 <br />will be shared with Council 82. <br />LaValle asked if all parking areas would be blacktopped and striped <br />Germanson reported that the parking that is proposed in the location of the <br />future 17,920 square foot building would not be blacktopped. Germanson <br />also pointed out that the outdoor storage area consisting of 65,400 square <br />feet would not be blacktopped. Germanson indicated that they have <br />always talked about the need for 2 to 3 acres of outdoor storage on this <br />site, and the plan presented this evening shows approximately 2 acres of <br />outdoor storage. <br />Fahey asked if the outdoor storage area would be used for the Drywall <br />Supply business. Johnson indicated that that is something that he would <br />like to discuss with the Council. Fahey indicated that he is not interested <br />in another business utilizing outdoor storage on this site. Fahey pointed <br />out that this was not what was talked about or represented for this site. <br />Fahey expressed concern that Mr. Johnson is now presenting a new plan <br />and a new proposal from what was presented to the Planning Commission. <br />Germanson continued his review of the site plan and noted that the new <br />plan addressed the concerns and recommendations of both the City <br />Planner and the City Engineer. Germanson noted that the large canopy <br />would remain on the site and would be landscaped. This canopy will <br />provide screening for the Council 82 building and the Drywall Supply <br />operation. German also pointed out that an easement is being provided to <br />allow Council 82 to utilize parking on the Drywall Supply site. <br />Anderson asked if the truck access routes through the site would be paved. <br />Germanson reported that the routes at the front of the property would be <br />paved, but those in the back would not. Johnson felt that truck traffic flow <br />would primarily circle around the former Knox building. <br />Blesener asked if the canopy behind the Council 82 site would be used for <br />outdoor storage. Johnson replied that it would. LaValle asked about the <br />other canopies on the site. Johnson reported that two have been removed. <br />The third would be removed when the new building is constructed. <br />Johnson also pointed out that there is a building immediately behind the <br />former Knox building that will be town down immediately.
