Planning & Zoning Board June 10, 2020 Page 6 APPROVED MINUTES Ms. Larsen explained one of the options that is being prepared by SEH is Hodgson Road would be lined up and the offset would be shifted. There is a greater expense for this option, but the City and both counties have been reviewing alternatives. Mr. Tralle exclaimed Lyngblomsten should take the board’s suggestions and return with a taller parapet and different colors. He stated the board was not ready to vote on Lygnblomsten’s final plan and final plat. Mr. Reinert and Mr. Root agreed with Mr. Tralle’s statement to postpone the vote. Public Comments Mike Witham, 211 Woodridge Lane, commented that if a fast food restaurant is built on the corner, he would hope Lyngblomsten would incorporate someplace into it so it is not located on the western side next to the residential homes.

Ms. Larsen explained the footprint and floor plan differences will be clarified and finalized. She also specified the trash compactors, generators, and dumpsters will be below grade along with a fence and landscaping. Mr. Grochala clarified, although the Master Plan says the trash compactors, generators, and dumpsters must be inside the building, if the board would like to allow Lyngblomsten to place the items outside being that the area is screened and below grade, a recommendation can be made to City Council that it is acceptable as proposed. Mr. Reinert asked if it would be possible to place some of the items inside and some outside of the building. Mr. Fenlon explained there is additional dumpster capacity within the building and outside of the building, however, to incorporate more storage space for the generators,
