MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 9, 1993 are clean, and felt that screening for the other properties would only result in trash being hidden behind a fence. Keis agreed with Knudsen's comments. Keis pointed out that the condition of the properties in Ryan Industrial Park varies greatly. Keis stated that screening is not a big issue for those properties where the owners take pride in their properties. Knudsen pointed out that the property owners with nice looking fences also have clean properties. Keis pointed out that security becomes an issue for the property owners when property is screened. Drabik felt that screening was fine, but would not address the issue of a poorly kept property. Drabik pointed out that properties need to be sodded and grass cut. Drabik felt that a wooden fence would get trashed quicker than chain -link. Schletty agreed that security was an issue. Schletty indicated that he did not like the appearance of slatted chain -link, and also asked what control the City had over the materials used in wooden fencing. Schletty reported that property owners who keep their properties clean are not the issue, and stated that putting a fence around junk will not resolve the problem. Schletty asked how the City would police the park pointing out some of the properties which had a lot of junk stored on them. Keis pointed out the construction materials that the various businesses use in their operations are just what the City wants screened. Drabik also felt that vehicles could be parked in an orderly fashion. Schletty asked if the Building Official would enforce the junk ordinance. The City Administrator reported that in Ryan Industrial Park code enforcement has been delayed pending completion of the road improvement. The City wanted to see clearly defined driveway accesses before code enforcement was addressed. The Administrator reported Page 2
