PLANNING & ZONING BOARD JUNE 12, 1996 Mr. Arndt stated that there are plans to screen the bituminous, sand and topsoil stored on the site with crushed aggregate. Pines have been planted to screen the entire storage area. Mr. Dunn asked if there are any environmental concerns with the storage of these materials. Ms. Wyland stated that the company has all necessary permits from the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). Chair Schaps asked if the company is willing to comply with staffs recommendation for a front setback of 30 feet and the purchase of additional property to eliminate the variance on the west side. Mr. Arndt stated that he would prefer to be able to extend the building in a straight line without having to acquire property for two reasons: 1) there is a drainage swale ditch that cannot be built on; 2) while the company has the right to exercise its option to purchase the adjacent Paul Miller property, he would prefer not to do so at this time because of the cost of the improvements being put in. Regarding the 30 foot setback, again, they would prefer not reducing their building size but it would be possible. Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to approve the site plan review with the following conditions: 1. Proper building permits be obtained prior to any construction and 1% of the construction costs be in escrow to insure completion of all site improvements. The City's CSO Officer shall review the building plans prior to issuance of the building permit to insure compliance with CEPTED recommendations. 2. Landscaping of the site shall be coordinated with the City Forester prior to issuance of any building permits. 3. Signage shall conform to the City's Sign Ordinance and proper permits obtained prior to installation. 4. RCWD Permits shall be obtained, if required, prior to any site grading. 5. Utility, grading and drainage plans shall be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. 6. A variance for 20' on the front setback (Phelps Road) shall be approved allowing a setback of 30'. The variance setback requested on the west property line is denied. 7. Concrete curb, gutter and bituminous paving shall be provided for all access driveways and parking area. Mr. Herr seconded the motion. The motion carried 7 -0. 3 • •
