Planning & Zoning Board <br />April 9, 2003 <br />Page 5 <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br />with the zoning ordinances of the City. He stated they were comfortable with the limited <br />business, including the convenience store. He summarized the development. He noted <br />there were other areas of the City where ga s stations were acro ss the street from each <br />other and survived. He indicated the ga s station was proposed to be neighborhood, mom <br />and pop convenience stores. He stated the ki nd of business they w ould expect to see in <br />this type of a center would be a coff ee shop, a video store, hair salon, eating <br />establishment (i.e. Subway, Chinese food restau rant, etc.). He noted, however, that many <br />of these types of restaurants they could have on that site only if a drive thru would be <br />allowed. He stated they could create a desi gn that would be attrac tive, with sufficient <br />landscaping. <br />Greg Schlink noted they wanted to create architecture that was compatible with the <br />residential area and they were willing to work with the Board and staff regarding this. He <br />summarized the residential portion of the development for the Board. <br />Mr. Lyden asked where the children would pl ay in the development. Greg Schlink <br />replied they were not opposed to a tot lot in the area. <br />Mr. Tralle requested the developer mix up th e colors in the proposed development. He <br />stated he did not want to see the same co lor homes in the development. He requested <br />they look at the architectural appeal of the development. <br />Mr. Lyden stated this development was not unique. <br />Mr. Rafferty stated he agreed with Mr. Tralle’s suggestion. <br />Mr. Tralle made a MOTION to continue th e public hearing. The motion was supported <br />by Mr. Corson. Motion carried 5-0. <br />Chair Schaps REOPENED the Open Mike at 8:29 p.m. <br />Chad Wagner, owner of Millers on Main, stated they had done some research and a lot of <br />work for possibly opening up a restaurant less than one mile from the previous <br />development and it was not feasible. He stat ed his issue was with Millers On Main and <br />possibility relocating it. He noted the ro ad was eventually going to get widened. He <br />stated he would like to screen in the patio to make it more usable. He noted the problem <br />was that his building was not 40 feet off the road for a setback and he was informed he <br />could not make any improvements to it because of this. He asked the Board’s opinion on <br />screening in the existing patio. <br />Mr. Smyser noted this was a non-conforming structure that was being requested to be <br />being made even more non-conforming. He noted Mr. Wagner had a problematic site. <br />Mr. Lyden stated he had no problem with this idea. <br />Chair Schaps asked if screening in the ex isting patio would be a violation of the <br />Ordinance. Mr. Smyser replied screeni ng was considered enclosing, which was in <br />violation of the Ordinance.
