MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 11, 1996 and has progressed from there. Battista stated that he looked at Morton buildings which have cathedral ceilings, and felt that was wasted space. Therefore, he proposed the attic area. Since footings were required, Battista indicated he thought he might as well put in a basement. Bob Scalze pointed out that Mr. Battista may be proposing the building for storage. However, should Mr. Battista sell his property, the next owner may bring in auto repair or some other type of commercial use. Battista pointed out that the area is zoned R -1, and the City would have to issue a permit for any sort of commercial use. Keis pointed out there is a difference between what is permitted and what is just done. Keis pointed out that the next owner may want to subdivide the property. Keis asked about setback issues. The City Planner reported that the location of the barn would have little impact on future development of the property. The Planner stated he is assuming that a road would come in from Beam Avenue and go to the north along the right -of -way dedicated by the Sculley family. The Planner pointed out that you get closer to the wetlands on the west. Battista reported that when he purchased his property from Mr. Sculley, the only requirement was that he not disturb the low area between his house and where the barn is proposed. Bev Scalze, 969 Beam Avenue, stated that she was confused about the size of the building proposed if Mr. Battista's use of the building is to store a Winnebago. Scalze asked what assurance the neighborhood would have that there will not be a commercial use of this building. DeLonais pointed out that in the past the City has approved CUPS for buildings up to 1,500 square feet in size. Keis pointed out the property is zoned R -1, and any violations of zoning would be a code enforcement issue. 4 Page 33
