MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 12, 1995 they were initially of the opinion that what was being proposed was an industrial building on their property. Newpower reported that the garage proposal is being discussed with NSP to see if they are agreeable to the garages encroaching on their right -of -way. The City Planner stated that he had no problem with the garages, but indicated that NSP would have to demonstrate in writing that they would allow them. Newpower reported that should NSP not agree to the garages, Real Estate Masters proposes berming or landscaping at the back of the property. This will provide a sense of closure to the south end of the property. Garske asked if the garages would be used for mini - storage. Steve Bienke, architect for the project, replied that they would not. Each office building would own a garage. Carson asked if parking was proposed under the power lines. Bienke replied that that was correct. Newpower reported that the project was planned to be constructed in two phases. Four buildings would be constructed in the first phase. Once these buildings are sold, the second phase would begin. The Gardner Bros. office building would be part of the second phase, and would be torn down when that phase is begun. Newpower pointed out the Planner's #4 recommendation, and stated that the utility easement being referred to has not been used and their development would not make use of that easement. The City Planner reported that when the property was originally platted, the easement was dedicated. If there are no intentions to use the easement, the Planner recommended that it be vacated. Newpower referred to recommendation #6. Newpower reported that if the garages are not allowed, they will have to do something differently with the trash 10 Page 83
