Planning & Zoning Board <br />January 8, 2003 <br />Page 13 <br /> APPROVED MINUTES <br />Mr. Rafferty asked if brush would be blowing off site while the project is in progress. <br />Mr. Pfingsten stated it would not. Mr. Rafferty asked Mr. Pfingsten if he did a job in the <br />1500 block of Merganser Court, where he noticed that the job site was cleaned up at the <br />end of each day. Mr. Pfingsten stated he did do that job which was a massive amount of <br />work and involved some other subcontractors. He stated that job used all of his <br />equipment and in a residential neighborhood like that one, their practice is to clean up the <br />site at the end of each work day. <br />Mr. Rafferty stated the business is only five year old, but has equipment and an RV that <br />would be parked outside with a bobcat trailer. He asked if equipment would be repaired <br />on this site and where new equipment will be parked. He also asked Mr. Pfingsten if his <br />business is already exceeding the size of this pole barn. Mr. Rafferty stated that a <br />Golfstream RV is a nice unit but he does not know what condition it is in. He asked <br />about how the grass will be mowed around the items parked outdoors and how that <br />appearance will be maintained. He stated he does not want this to become a “cancer” in <br />the neighborhood that continues to grow. He asked where the broken vehicles will be <br />stored and if not repaired how they will be disposed. <br />Mr. Rafferty stated he saw a job done by Mr . Pfingsten in his neighborhood and was very <br />impressed but he wants to be sure Mr. Pfingsten is aware of these concerns. He <br />questioned how much the business can grow and remain on this site. <br />Mr. Corson stated he assumes this will be discussed again next month. He stated he <br />would like to receive a history of this site to assure whether or not a conditional use <br />permit was approved and what those conditions were. He stated that a conditional use <br />permit and site plan should be considered which would resolve some of the questions. <br />Mr. Pfingsten stated Mr. Flanagan had addressed some of the concerns in the past by <br />installing a fence and asphalt parking area. He stated that he will plant more beneficial <br />trees and remove undesirable trees but there is not a lot more that can be done to create a <br />buffer zone. <br />Mr. Corson stated if this is to become a growing business, there may be a need for a <br />septic system. Mr. Pfingsten stated there is a septic with a single bathroom that was <br />permitted at some time. He stated he only has one employee and is out on the job site <br />most of the time. <br />Mr. Pfingsten stated he could make this into a multi-million dollar business but he has no <br />desire for those kinds of headaches. He stated he has a profitable, manageable business <br />and that is what he wants. <br />Mr. Rafferty stated that his concern is with the growth in the number of vehicles. He <br />stated he sees no beauty in a five-foot fence that says “keep out” and Mr. Pfingsten may <br />have some suggestions as to how to plant the area to enhance the site including the <br />neighborhood. Mr. Pfingsten stated he would be happy to inform the residents of the <br />type of trees he would like to plant. Mr . Rafferty stated a diagrammed landscape plan <br />would be helpful as well as pictures.
