MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MAY 9, 2000 Morelan suggested a temporary variance predicated on some assurance that the building addition would be constructed within a certain amount of time plus a soils report indicating that the property would support an addition to the building. Morelan noted that with the phase two building addition, the outdoor storage area proposed drops to 65% of the building size, under the 75% maximum allowed by code. Fahey noted that even under that scenario Precision Tree must be convinced of the amount of outdoor storage that is adequate to run his business. Fahey stated that he did not want to get into an enforcement action to require Precision Tree to decrease their outdoor storage area. Precision Tree noted that with TIF assistance he could build a bigger building and that a bigger building may allow him to put equipment inside and decrease the amount of outdoor storage he needs. Fahey stated that rather than an interim variance approval, he would prefer that the building size is increased and the outdoor storage brought into compliance with the I-P standards. Fahey suggested that staff investigate the possibility of TIF assistance for this project. Mr. Fahey introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RE.SOI, UTION NO. 2000-5-117 -TABLING ACTION ON THE PRECISION TREE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCE REQUEST PENDING A STAFF REPORT ON THE OPTION OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING ASSISTANCE FOR THIS PROJECT AND REQUIRING A 60-DAY WAIVER FROM PRECISION TREE The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Scalze. Ayes (4) Fahey, Scalze, Morelan, Pedersen. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. TRANSIT Chris Weyer, Metro Transit, appeared before the Council reporting on HUB AT their plans for a transit hub at the Market Place Shopping Center. Weyer MARKET indicated that Metro Transit would comply with the recommendations of PLACE the Public Works Director relative to the transit hub. He also noted that the hub would allow six buses to line up on the south side of First Bank Drive. The hub does not include a formal park and ride lot, but would rather serve as a transfer station. Weyer also indicated that Metro Transit will dress up the area with planters and street lights of the same style as are being proposed on Little Canada Road.
