• • • Planning & Zoning Board February 13, 2001 Page 11 Mr. Corson asked about sprinkling and burning of the native prairie grass. Mr. Zelle replied the sod would be sprinkled and they would take precautions if the native prairie grass would need to be burned. John Johnson stated they were looking into finding a prairie grass that would not require burning, and hopefully they would find some native prairie grass that would not need to be burned. Mr. Schilling asked if exterior storage would become an issue in the future. Mr. Zelley, Summit Fire Protection, replied they did not intend to have any outside storage. They were building the building large enough that they would not need additional storage. There would be no forklifts or other equipment on the outside of the building. Mr. Smyser suggested the following amendments: On number 9, it read: City Engineer's comments in the January 23, 2001 TKDA memo must be addressed to the City Engineer's satisfaction by March 2, 2001, and add a number 10 to state: If possible, find a type of prairie grass that would not require burning. Mr. Schilling suggested getting input from the Fire Department regarding the burning of the native prairie grass. Mr. Smyser replied he would contact the Fire Department and present their information to Council. Mr. Corson made a MOTION to approve the Minor Subdivision and site plan to allow the construction of a 30,076 square foot office /warehouse building based on the findings outlined in the February 13, 2001 planning report and subject to the conditions outlined by staff and the two amendments suggested by Mr. Smyser, and was supported by Ms. Lane. Motion carried 4 -0 -1 (Rafferty). H. PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUATION, Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to allow Accessory Buildings in Industrial and Commercial Districts.
