MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 13, 2002 asked about the construction of the proposed 20,000 square foot building on the back lot. Johnson replied that that building is conceptual and he ltas no specific time frame for developing it. Anderson asked about the timing for relocation of two of the canopies to the back of the property and dividing them into Four smaller canopies. Johnson anticipated that that would occur next year. Montour noted that all these timing issues should be addressed in the development agreement. The City Administrator pointed out the shed structure between the former Knox building and Country Drive. He noted that this structure is in a key parking location, and felt it was critical that it be removed. Johnson agreed it would be removed as part of the project. Anderson pointed out that the lots along Country Drive will likely have office/warehouse uses. While the fronts of these buildings will be attractive and landscaped, the backs will have loading docks. Anderson felt that from his perspective, the third canopy would be acceptable in its existing location with the stucco finish proposed as well as with the addition of landscaping. Anderson felt the future owners of the lots along County Drive would not have an objection to that. Scalze agreed with Anderson's comments noting that the canopy would need to have a stucco exterior and landscaping added. Johnson pointed out that the canopy would also provide screening for his office use at the back of the property and the loading docks on the two future uses along Country Drive. Montour felt that action on this matter should be tabled until November 20t~' to give the City Planner an opportunity to comment on the rezoning of the entire site to PUD. Johnson asked if the Council will come to any consensus on any of the issues this evening. Council noted that the three members present have consensus on the issue of allowing the third canopy to remain provided it is surfaced in stucco and landscaped. However, Council felt none of the issues should be decided until the November 20°i meeting when there will be four members present. Anderson suggested that the matter be tabled pending a report from the City Planner on the impacts of the zoning options for the back property. Johnson asked the Council's position on his continued outdoor storage use pending a final decision on the zoning. The City Administrator indicated that it would be staff's position that the outdoor storage use could continue as it currently exists pending a resolution of the zoning issue. The Administrator also noted that the City and Mr. Johnson will be entering into a Development Agreement which will clearly define all the issues related to this property. The Administrator anticipated that a draft 10
