PLANNING & ZONING BOARD <br />JUNE 12, 1996 <br />Mr. Mower offered to help rebuild the one taken out if the construction materials are <br />provided. <br />Mr. Dunn asked if the City will face these same decisions with the other outlot in this area. <br />Ms. Wyland stated that the proposed site is the only outlot zoned for Neighborhood Business <br />in this plat. <br />Mr. Robinson asked how the bad soil conditions will be corrected and whether the building <br />might have to be reconfigured. <br />Mr. Mower stated that a layer of muck was found at a depth that he believes could be dug out <br />and replaced. <br />Mr. Robinson asked if correctable pilings could be used. <br />Mr. Mower stated that would be an expensive option. The borings appear to indicate that the <br />problem can be corrected with compaction. <br />Mr. Dunn stated that it concerns him to see business intermix with residential areas, even <br />though the area is so zoned. He would like to see the City prevent business development <br />from locating adjacent to residential areas. He recommended that in the future residential <br />developments be reviewed with the thought of requiring the first one or two border lots to <br />be used as green space buffers. He believes the City will look better if this philosophy were <br />adopted. <br />Mr. Herr stated that he believes this development is a good application of a neighborhood <br />business that integrates well with the residential area. He believes a trend of future <br />development will be a mix of residential and business in the same areas. <br />Chair Schaps stated that the project has been well presented and commended the property <br />owners and architect for communicating with residents and addressing their concerns. <br />Ms. Dahl also commended the developers for the open communication among all parties, <br />which she very much appreciates. <br />Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to approve the Site Plan, Conditional Use Permit, and <br />variance with the conditions outlined in the staff report: <br />1. Proper building permits be obtained prior to any construction and 1% of the <br />construction costs be in escrow to insure completion of all site improvements.
