• • • DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING March 14, 1990 John Bergeson asked about the road improvement at County Road J. He said that someone must know when the proposed improvement may happen. Doug Uhrhammer stated that the road will be improved within a 10 to 15 year period. He thinks that the county will improve the road with the same right -of- way. Gary Kosterlicki lives north of this area. He stated that the whole purpose of this is long range planning. He feels that spending money to relocate the power line now will be a lot cheaper than if it is done ten years from now. MOTION: John Bergeson moved to recommend to the city council denial of application #90 -03 for a conditional use permit by the United Power Association based on the opinion that another route could be found. Monika Slatten seconded the motion and the motion was approved unanimously. A public hearing will be requested at the council meeting on the 26th. The public hearing will go before council on the seconded Monday in April. Patrick Cairns presented the secretary will the official request to be put into the record. This is attached to the end of the minutes. MOTION: Robert King moved to recommend to the city council denial of application #90 -02 for a variance on the height of the permitted power poles. Monika Slatten seconded the motion and the motion was approved unanimously. The reasons for denial of the conditional use permit are as follows: 1. The power line has not been shown to promote the public health and general welfare of the neighborhood and city. 2. The power line will not be harmonious with the general and specific plans and policies of the comprehensive plan of the city. 3. The power line will not be designed and constructed so as to be harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing and intended character of the general vicinity. 4. The power line will create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services and will be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. 5. The power line will result in continued destruction of natural and scenic features. Page 9
