MINUTES <br />Planning Commission <br />Jan. 14, 1988 <br />Gardner Felix requested that Gardner Bros. be allowed to withdraw their request <br />Bros. (Cont.) for a sign area variance. <br />Mostad <br />Park Land <br />Purchase <br />The Commission agreed with the request. <br />DeLonais pointed out the problems Slumberland had with soil conditions <br />when they built their building. DeLonais stated that he is concerned <br />that these poor soils extend into the Gardner Bros. property. <br />Timmons agreed pointing out that the Gardner Bros. site may support <br />their proposed development, but not their development and Larry Lee's <br />proposal. <br />The Commission reviewed the lot split necessary in conjunction with the <br />City's purchase of park land from the Mostad parcel. <br />Timmons recommended approval of the Mostad lot split as presented on <br />page 14 of the Commission agenda. <br />Motion seconded by Costa. <br />Motion carried 5 - 0. <br />Text The City Planner submitted a proposed amendment to the Zoning Code <br />Amendment which would require parking lots of 5 spaces or more to be paved <br />Paving Of with a hard - surface. The Planner pointed out that any unpaved <br />Parking parking lots in existence at this time would be grandfathered in. <br />Lots <br />The Planner reported that most cities require parking lots to be <br />paved although the size of the parking lots vary from between <br />3 to 5 parking spaces at a minimum. <br />DeLonais asked if the amendment applied to residential property. <br />The Planner replied that it did not as one and two family residences <br />usually do not have more than 4 parking spaces. <br />DeLonais questioned why the number five was chosen and why the <br />amendment did not require parking lots three spaces in size to be <br />paved. <br />Herkenhoff questioned the wording of the amendment with regard to <br />the types of materials that could be used. <br />The Planner replied that he did not want to limit the types of materials <br />that could be used and this is what would happen if a materials list was <br />included in the ordinance. <br />Costa questioned why residential development was omitted from this <br />requirement. <br />Page 7 <br />
