MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 13, 2004 50 SOUTH OWASSO BLVD. PRECISION TREE FRATTALONE PROPERTY DIVISION/ COMBINATION AND AMENDMENT TO PUD — 3205 SPRUCE STREET research into his options. John Anich, 110 Yorkton Ridge, expressed concern that Precision Tree continues to dump brush on the property as well as operates a wood burning heating system that was installed without a permit. Anich commented on the odors and fumes coming from this heating system. Knudsen noted Mr. Anich's comments and informed him that the matter would come before the Commission for full discussion in June. It was the consensus of the Commission to table action on the Amendment to CUP and the Variance for Precision Tree as requested. Mr. Frank Frattalone, Frattalone Excavating, appeared before the Commission requesting approval of the division of a 25 foot strip of railroad property that he is purchasing and will combine with his site at 3205 Spruce Street. In addition, Frattalone is requesting an Amendment to Planned Unit Development relative to fence location, materials, and height as well as the installation of a canopy over his fueling station. Frattalone described the proposed fencing locations indicating that the main purpose of the fence is to restrict access into his yard area. Frattalone indicated that he was not planning to fence the western boundary of the property as the high grades restrict access in this area. Frattalone also reported that he is currently installing a wood chip path on the 30 -foot easement area adjacent to Blacktern Pond. That path will eventually extend behind the Blacktern Townoflices and connect to Country Drive. In addition to the fencing and the path, landscaping will be installed along the fence line as screening. Frattalone reported that his original PUD called for 8 -foot high fencing that has a black vinyl coating. Frattalone requested that the fencing height be reduced to 6 feet. Frattalone felt that the 6 -foot height was adequate for security purposes, and noted that screening is being added along the fence lines. Frattalone noted that the fence installed to date has a black vinyl coating. He requested that the remainder of the fence be allowed to be galvanized. Frattalone noted that the landscaping adjacent to the fencing will block the view of the fence from outside the property. Frattalone reported that the black vinyl is very expensive. The City Planner indicated that both the 6 foot height was acceptable as well as the galvanized fencing given the landscaping will block the view of the fence. Frattalone reported that he has a fueling station on the property and would like to install a canopy over the station. Therefore, he is requesting the
