MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 9, 1999 PRELIMINARY PLAT — R.J. MARCO CONSTRUCTION The Administrator pointed out that the front yard setback proposed by Mr. Biagini would line the buildings up with the Kandice Heights buildings and is not the setback recommended by the City Planner. The Planner indicated that he had no problem with the setback Biagini is proposing given the amount of right -of -way which exists for Country Drive. However, if the City deviates from the Code requirements, there should be a finding stated as to the reason why. Biagini reported that the setback he is proposing is about 7 feet short of the 40 feet that the City Planner is recommending. Even so, the building will be setback about 62 to 63 feet from the curb line for Country Drive. Biagini reported that this setback would line his building up with the Kandice Heights buildings. Mr. Montour recommended approval of the Biagini Preliminary Plat and PUD Permit for Phase A subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner and the City Engineer, subject to a front yard setback for the building to line it up with the Kandice Heights buildings with the deviation in setback requirements because of the oversized right -of -way which exists for Country Drive and because of the way Country Drive curves in this area, subject to execution of a Development Agreement, that there be no outdoor storage other than trash enclosures, and a wood fence will not be allowed to screen from the residential property to the west, and that all lighting and signage are in compliance with the Code. Motion seconded by Knudsen. Motion carried 5 — 0. Mr. Reg Plowman, R. J. Marco Construction, and Mike St. Martin, Loucks & Associates, appeared before the Commission requesting approval of a preliminary plat for property along Viking Drive. Plowman indicated that they are proposing to construct an office/warehouse building on the site. St. Martin indicated that he would address the issues raised by the City Engineer. St. Martin described the location of the property. He noted that in addition to the plat, they would be requesting a vacation of a portion of the Viking Drive right -of -way which the State recently turned over to the City. This will straighten their property line and allow them to bring parking up to match the property line. It will also be necessary to vacate a drainage and utility easement which runs through the center of the property. That easement will be relocated to the east side of the property. PAGE 150
