MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />JULY 9, 1992 <br />Don Rue, industrial property owner in the area, stated <br />that he would like to be sure that Heritage put a <br />blacktopped swale in to run water to the pond. Rue <br />felt the swale should be blacktopped so that it would <br />not fill up with silt. Rue also requested that silt <br />fencing be used during construction. <br />The Planner felt that if a swale were used, it would <br />most likely be grass. The Planner did not feel there <br />would be a problem with the swale silting up since the <br />entire area would be planted after construction was <br />completed. The Planner noted that there would be an <br />erosion control plan required of the developer. <br />Mr. Silbaugh, a property owner in <br />berm was a reasonable requirement <br />developer. <br />The City Planner noted that there <br />a street and a berm, and that the <br />stay if development is going to p <br />the area, felt that a <br />to place on the <br />was not room for both <br />existing berm cannot <br />roceed. <br />Silbaugh asked why the existing berm was constructed if <br />it was not meant to be permanent. Silbaugh pointed out <br />that when the industrial property to the north was <br />developed, there was an agreement between the developer <br />and property owner for a berm. <br />Bob Carrier reported that there is a great deal of <br />trash under the berm that will have to be removed. <br />Carrier also pointed out that the developer was <br />supposed to build the berm on the industrial property, <br />but instead placed it on the residential. <br />Donna Johnson asked if the City has an ordinance <br />requiring a buffer zone between residential and <br />commercial development. <br />The City Planner pointed out that the ordinance <br />required that industrial development put in some sort <br />of screening at the time the industrial is developed. <br />When residential is developed adjacent to industrial, <br />it is a buyer beware situation. The Planner noted that <br />in this instance the residents have a 300 foot buffer <br />to the industrial property. <br />Joe Fasciana reported that when the industrial <br />developer placed the berm on the residential property, <br />he notified the City Clerk, but was informed that there <br />was nothing the City could do. Fasciana suggested that <br />the developer may have felt that if he ruined his <br />residential strip of land, the City would eventually <br />allow him to develop it as commercial.
