MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MAY 22, 1991 Brueggemann reported that both he and the Sheriff's Department have discussed this with M& T Welding, and Brueggemann felt that the owner now had the situation under control. Nelson reported incidents of M& T Welding operating their business after 9 P.M. with doors open, and the noise from the business disturbing the residential neighborhood. Brueggemann reported that he has informed M& T Welding not to operate with their doors open after 4 P.M. Lachenmeyer felt that a welding shop was one of the worst occupants for a building adjacent to a residential neighborhood. This, in addition to the fencing and landscaping not being completed correctly, are reasons the neighborhood is so sensitive. Hanson reviewed the letter sent to M& T Welding by the Building Inspector regarding code violations. George Zender asked when construction would start on Phases II and III. Brueggemann replied that construction will begin when financing is finalized. Brueggemann anticipated that this could occur next week, but reported that due to the economic environment, financing of new projects is very difficult. Brueggemann reported that it is his hope that construction can begin on both projects next month. Nelson requested that the City withhold the certificates of occupancy for the new buildings until fencing and landscaping are completed as was agreed to. The Council pointed out that it was not aware of the concerns of the area regarding the fencing and landscaping. Nelson reported that these concerns were raised at the March 14th Planning Commission meeting. Scalze asked if this was something that the Building Inspector should be addressing. The City Administrator replied that the landscaping that Brueggemann agreed to with the neighborhood is something that was done outside the normal scope of what the City requires, and that the landscape plan worked out with the neighborhood was not furnished to the City.
