• • • Planning & Zoning Board March 11, 1998 Page 11 6. The CPTED Officer review the structure for proper security prior to issuance of any building permits. Deb Gallop, a representative of the Nature Center, explained that the building has no windows and log siding, and will blend well with the site usage. She explained that windows will be installed, primarily for light. Mr. Gelbmann asked if the building will have a frost - footing. Ms. Gallop responded that it will. Mr. Dunn asked about times of operation. Ms. Gallop explained that Heritage Lab takes place for two weeks in the Spring and three weeks in the Fall for living history, for first through eighth graders who are bussed to the site where they travel to different stations for various period scenes and activities. Chair Schaps indicated that the entire facility is excellent, and that the community is fortunate to have it available. Mr. Dunn made a MOTION to approve the site plan review to move the building to Wargo Nature Center, with the conditions presented, and was supported by Mr. Johnson. Motion carried 6 -0. E. Pierre Nadeau, 2968 Cedar, Minor Subdivision Ms. Wyland explained that Pete Nadeau is requesting a minor subdivision of the property at 2068 Cedar Street, owned by Warren Solheid. The property in question is located in a rural zoning district, and indicated as such on the Comprehensive Plan. This request would create the following: Parcel A - a 2.38 -acre parcel (exclusive of roadway) containing an existing homestead constructed prior to 1992. (City Ordinance No. 93- 18 allows for reduction of lot size to a minimum of one acre where habitable single family homes were constructed prior to July 13, 1992, if the balance of the property results in a parcel of ten acres.) Parcel B - a 2.09 -acre parcel (exclusive of roadway) that is to be added to an existing 10 -acre parcel for a total of 12 acres. This parcel would be owned by Mr. Nadeau who currently owns the existing 10 acres. Mr. Nadeau intends to hold this parcel for future development with the 2.09 - acre parcel providing the access to the rear 10 acres. Ms. Wyland added that there are eight adjoining lots, on Cedar and 21st Avenue, that are approximately two acres in size with this parcel being the largest homesite. Creation of two lots in this location would blend with the existing character of the neighborhood.
