MINUTES City Council August 24, 1988 R & S Zilge building. Automotive (Cont.) Fahey pointed out that even with the 50 foot r~ight-of-way the road wi11 be non-conforming since 60 foot right-of-ways are r~equired in industrial ar~eas. Fahey did not see a good reason to increase the non-conformity. DeBace pointed out that it was felt at the Planning Commission level that 40 feet would be acceptable since there would pr•obably only be two additional businesses developed in the area. Scalze pointed out that the r~oad will serve industr•ial tr•affic and the City had to provide adequate r~oom for semi-trucks. The City Engineer pointed out that the r~oad began as a pr•ivate dr•ive which was accepted by the City. The City would never have developed a r•oad with a 40-foot r~ight-of-way. Fahey stated that if a 40-foot right-of-way is approved in this instance, the next developer could make the same r•equest. Rustad stated that the problem is that Zilge built too close to the property line. Scalze pointed out the instance of Twin Lake Tr•ail where the City requir•ed the developer to meet Code requirements for• r~oad r~ight-of-way even though the r~oad leading up to the development did not meet these same requir•ements. DeBace r~eviewed the building expansion proposals and reported that R& S plans to str~aighten out the parking situation as well as eventually eliminate the junk yard. The buildings will have to be spr~inkled due to the proposed additions. DeBace pointed out that R& S is asking for a fr~ont yar•d setback variance on one of the buildings. However•, pointed out that the building will still be behind sight lines for• the two adjacent buildings. The City Planner• felt the front yard setback variance request was a r•easonable one since the building would be behind the two adjacent buildings. The Planner• also felt that a 50 foot road r•ight-of-way could be accommodated and room still provided for R& S to access their building. Scalze pointed out the Planner's suggestion that as a condition of appr~oval the junk yard be required to be r•emoved within 3 years. Scalze also asked about plans for installing a cul-de-sac at the east end of Woodlyn Avenue. The City Planner suggested that there was not adequate room for~ the cul- de-sac at this time and felt the cul-de-sac issue was better• addr•essed at the time Fuel Economy develops their• property.
