Planning & Zoning Board October 9, 2024 Page 3 DRAFT MINUTES Mr. Wipperfurth questioned why so many of the retail buildings back up to Lake Drive instead of facing it. Ms. Larsen said there is nothing in the ordinance dictating the direction of the building. Ms. Larsen said due to the where the residential area is it makes sense the direction of the building. Mr. Wipperfurth also questioned how the American Legion reacted to this business accessing their parking lot. Mr. Grochala said when the property was sold to the legion by the City, the City reserved the right to go over the legion parking lot to connect to Lake Drive if an access was needed. Mr. Grochala added that Lake Drive was proposed to be a four-lane divided roadway, but the County has changed the concept to a three lane design so the median will not block the Legion parking lot. Mr. Wipperfurth suggested the developer be mindful of the light that could go over the fence and that it should provide adequate height to block the light out. Ms. Guthmueller questioned if 7671 was included in the proposal as listed on page 22. Ms. Larsen said it should be 7691 and will make the correction. Ms. Guthmueller questioned if there was going to be enough parking spots if for example a restaurant was brought into this space. Ms. Larsen said they review parking during the application process and the applicant would need to demonstrate they can meet the parking requirements per the zoning ordinance. She also said the area east of Lake Drive also met the requirements for what was being proposed at the time.

Mr. Root questioned if the business comes in as a minor repair and turns into a major repair service would the new business require a full amendment. Ms. Larsen said it could be written that way. Mr. Root recommended that change be made for the CUP requirement. He would also like it specified no overnight parking regardless of the reason. Mr. Grochala said it could be a 24-hour limit for the parking. The applicant, Mark Krough with Java Companies, introduced himself and was available for questions. Mr. Wipperfurth expressed concern for the parking at these businesses. Mr. Krough said these tenants are National Credit tenants and the process to get operations to sign off is more intense to meet the requirements. Mr. Wipperfurth inquired who the tenants were. Mr. Krough said one applicant was a quick service restaurant and the other is medical retail. Mr. Wipperfurth said if the businesses are open at different times they can share parking. Ms. Larsen said they do account for joint parking between different owners. Ms. Guthmueller thought it would be detrimental to limit the type of
