Planning & Zoning Board September 11, 2019 Page 3 APPROVED MINUTES Mr. Stimpson mentioned Bald Eagle Erectors, another industrial property with parking in the rear, and how it was required to have an aesthetically pleasing fence facing a public right of way. Mr. Grochala mentioned that there are a lot of similarities between the properties, as it was a non-conforming exterior storage area; the property owner updated their CUP and brought everything into conformance. Mr. Laden doesn’t see a reason to require a privacy fence. Mr. Stimpson stated that the future land use plan zones the property across the street commercial. Mr. Grochala explained that per the ordinance, any industrial building facing a public right of way requires an 8ft high privacy fence. Mr. Evenson stated a privacy fence should be required. Mr. Laden asked about the recommendation that requires the property owners to provide a lease agreement annually and if that is required for other non-conforming homes. Staff explained that there are likely other non-conforming homes, but they cannot be pin-pointed to implement this lease agreement requirement. When the City issues CUP’s, that is the opportunity to implement this requirement. This requirement was mentioned by the City Attorney. Vice Chair Root questioned the site performance agreement. Ms. Larsen stated that the applicant submitted cost estimates and 35% will be secured to ensure the work is done. Mr. Evenson questioned the future of the property. Ms. Larsen stated that the land will all be one parcel and they will not have the ability to sell off the house. Mr. Evenson questioned the house to the east. Ms. Larsen confirmed that they can continue as is, the property is not being rezoned, it is legal non-conforming, and they can sell their house without restrictions. Mr. Ruhland questioned a gate on the east side behind the accessory building. Cindy and Shawn Goldade, from Direct Bore Inc., stated that their intention is to have a chain link fence around the property with a rolling gate to be able to mow grass. The applicant does not think an 8 foot high privacy fence between the house and storage is necessary. The applicant does not feel it is necessary to provide a lease agreement to the City. Mrs. Goldade stated that they want to keep the property as two addresses. Mrs. Goldade questioned if a Termination Agreement or similar document should be drafted by the applicant or the City. The City Attorney will draft that document. Mrs. Goldade responded about tightening up the fence by stating that the fence size was chosen due to not wanting to lose area for snow storage. Vice Chair Root opened the public hearing at 7:37 P.M.
