MINUTES PLANNING COMMlSS10N JANUARY 10, 2002 there will be electricity and heat. No work will be done inside the building, it will be used for the storage of vehicles. Strohbeen pointed out the Planner's comments about off-street parking. Strohbeen felt that no additional off-street parking would be necessary. The City Planner indicated that there may be adequate parking on the site. However, the plan does not show the parking areas, and he requested that the plan be modified to designate the off-street parking. Nick Strohbeen reported that the location of the proposed building on the plan has been changed. The building will be about 30 feet further east, closer to Noel Drive. Keis indicated that the plan will have to be modified to show exact building location, off=street parking, and required landscaping. Keis indicated that he had no problem with the rezoning given the property is put to an auto-related use. Keis asked about City control over what happens on the site. The City Planner indicated that the B-2 zoning requires a CUP if the property owners planned to add to the building or intensify the use of the property. Therefore, the City would still retain the control it needs. Duray asked about building materials. 7"he City Planner reported that the commercial district requires a masonry veneer of any sw~faces facing the public street. The building proposed has a lot less brick than what would typically be required. The Planner noted, however, that Che principle building is primarily metal-sided. Knudsen asked if the City would allow the storage building to be built in conformance with the principle building, or would a compromise be made to bring the storage building closer to the requirements of the Zoning District. Strohbeen pointed out that they want to make the building aesthetically pleasing and would side it with steel or aluminum siding. Knudsen indicated that the City may require more brick on the building. Keis noted that stucco may be an option. The Planner indicated that special attention will be needed to the Noel Drive exposure. Keis reconvnended tabling action on the Rezoning and CUP amendment until the February 14~~' Planning Commission meeting and instructing the applicant to work with the City Planner to revise the site plan as recommended showing off-street parking as well as exact building location as well as addressing the issue of architectw~al issues discussed. ~~
