MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 13, 2003 Mr. Roycrafr recommended approval of the Amendment to the PUD for the Edgewater Townoffice Park to include a nonsurgical hair replacement business as a permitted use in the townoffice park as requested by Vern Cole, Hair for Life Professionals, 2598 Rice Street, with the stipulation that additional review would be required relative to parking issues should the business expand. Motion seconded by Wojcik. Motion carried 6 - 0. REZONING & Mr. Nick Stelton, Maverick Electric, appeared before the Commission PUD PERMIT - requesting approval of a rezoning from B-3 to PUD and a PUD Permit 75 LITTLE to allow the operation of an electrical contracting shop and outdoor CANADA ROAD - storage at 75 Little Canada Road. Stelton reported That his business is MAVERICK currently located in Ryan Industrial Park. His business is a residential ELECTRIC electrical contracting business with 17 employees. Stelton reported that he leases at his current location and would like to own his own property. Stelton reported that the business is very quiet. His employees report at the office in the morning and pick up equipment and job assignments, and then go work at job sites all day. They do not return to the site until the next morning. There would be two employees left working at the site during the day. Stelton thought that number might increase to three in the next year or so. Stelton described the property at 75 Little Canada Road and the improvements his plans for the building as well as additional landscaping he would install. Stelton reported that he would install an awning on the front of the building to sofren the look of the overhead doors. The building would be painted brown to match other buildings in the area. He would remove a good share of the existing blacktop and sod and landscape the property. Stelton described the outdoor storage area he is proposing which would be used to store a van and a small trencher. Knudsen suggested parking this equipment inside the building. Stelton indicated that the equipment would have to be moved out each morning when employees are picking up supplies for their day's work. The Planner commented that PUD zoning is being proposed for this site given that the property to the west is zoned PUD. Typically this type of business would be located in an I District or a B-I District. However, a PUD zoning would lessen the impact of spot zoning. -4-
