MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />AUGUST 12, 1999 <br />he would do whatever the City required of him, but indicated that <br />he planned to plant two large maple trees by the gate. <br />Montour asked about screening along the ditch area. The Zoning <br />Administrator replied that the City does not generally require <br />screening from property to property along internal property lines. <br />Screening is required from the line of sight from the public right - <br />of -way. <br />Kraemer asked if there was a concern with using evergreens as a <br />screening option. The Zoning Administrator replied that <br />landscaping is a screening option. However, the evergreens would <br />have to be 5 to 6 feet in height and must be maintained. <br />Stanke suggested that before he screens, the other properties along <br />Ryan Drive are looked at and some uniformity is worked out with <br />regard to fencing and screening.

Therefore, the setback from the private street in front of this <br />building is different than it would be if the street were public. <br />With regard to the Frattalone building on Spruce Street, a CUP was <br />approved for this property in approximately 1983. A site plan was <br />also approved at that time and storage was allowed as shown in the <br />picture. <br />Stanke suggested that he should be granted the setback variance he <br />is requesting since the City granted him a building permit for an <br />addition to his building in 1989. Permits were also issues for <br />fencing and to grade the property. Stanke questioned why he <br />Page 139 <br />
