MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 14, 2007 The City Planner indicated that the signage plan will be more of an interim sign plan than a temporary sign plan that will be used during the redevelopment of the site. Duray recommended approval of the Rezoning of 3201 Country Drive from B-W District to PUD District as well as approval of a PUD Permit for Hom Furniture subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner as outlined in his report dated June 7, 2007 with modification of the Rezoning Ordinance to require that the anchor tenant occupy a minimum of 40% of the building space and subject to Hom Furniture submitting an interim signage plan to City staff for review prior to the June 27`h Council meeting. Motion seconded by Socha. Motion carried 6 - 0. CUP FOR Roy French, 2988 Edgerton Street, appeared before the Commission GARAGE - requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit so that he can construct 2988 a 1,500 square foot detached garage on his property. French reported EDGERTON that he discussed his proposal with the ten property owners closest to STREET - him, and submitted a petition from these property owners stating that they FRENCH have no objection to his proposal. French reported that he has lived in Little Canada his entire life and would like to stay in Little Canada. His proposal is to remodel additional living space in his existing garage to get everything on one level. He would then replace his attached garage with the detached 1,500 square foot garage. This garage space would be for personal use only. French reported that he has two jeeps he is restoring as well as has a wood working hobby. The new garage would be used for the storage of personal vehicles, a boat, and lawn equipment as well as for his hobby. French felt that the proposed location of the new garage has the least amount of impact on his neighbors. He suggested that the alternative driveway location proposed by the City Planner was not feasible given there is a three foot drop in grade along the south side of his property. To put the driveway in that location would require a retaining wall to be built. He also indicated that relocating the new garage to the north side of his property would negatively impact his neighbor's view. French indicated that building the garage on the south side of the lot, as proposed, is works for both him and his neighbors. French reported that the garage will be on a floating slab, stick built, and have a hip roof. Duray asked if the garage will match the existing house. French reported that once the garage is completed, he will be remodeling his house. At that -4-
