Planning & Zoning Board <br /> June 11, 1997 <br /> • Page 7 <br /> Council meeting. She noted that the City did receive a complaint. Because of <br /> the timing of the complaint, it was decided to go forward with the application. <br /> The Fire Chief has inspected the facility, and Mr. Rehbein is willing to make <br /> some corrections based on the Fire Chiefs recommendations. <br /> Mr. Herr stated that after the Council takes action to include this use as an option <br /> for a conditional use permit would be the appropriate time for the Board to <br /> consider it. <br /> Mr. Dunn noted that if the amended ordinance is not adopted, the issue is moot. <br /> However, people have been notified of the public hearing, and he would like to <br /> take time to hear their comments. He expressed his serious concern about <br /> being in compliance with the fire code because with the knowledge that the <br /> facility is not in compliance, the City could potentially become liable. <br /> Ms. Wyland stated that Mr. Rehbein and the Fire Chief have agreed on a 90-day <br /> time frame to complete repairs. <br /> Mr. Dunn noted that the Fire Chiefs memo is dated April 24, 1997, which means <br /> . the 90-day period is almost ended. He expressed his strong concern that events <br /> are taking place at a facility that does not meet fire code standards. <br /> Mr. Johnson asked if the arena is used in the summer. <br /> Mr. Kenneth Rehbein, 8027 Danube Street, answered, yes He noted that the <br /> Fire Chief did not indicate any danger in the facility. The repair work has been <br /> started and will be completed within the 90 days. <br /> Mr. Kirmis noted that the arena was constructed in 1971 for the purpose of <br /> accommodating rodeo events. It has been a BMX facility since 1994. Events y, <br /> are held indoors and outdoors. The indoor facility is 15,000 square feet; the <br /> outdoor arena is 24,000 square feet. The Board has recommended that <br /> commercial sports arenas be allowed as a conditional use in Rural zoning <br /> districts in the revised Zoning Ordinance to be considered by the Council. <br /> Mr. Kirmis stated that in relation to this conditional use permit application, staff is <br /> recommending approval with 15 additional conditions, which address: 1) <br /> allowing this conditional use in a Rural district; 2) combining the two lots currently <br /> used, 3) access issues, 4) compliance with side yard setbacks; 5) off-street <br /> parking compliance with setbacks, 6) adequate on-site sewer and water facilities; <br /> 7) compliance with the Fire Code; 8) adequate off-street parking provided, <br /> • striped, surfaced and according to ADA standards, 9) exterior lighting; 10) <br />
