Planning and Zoning Commission September 17, 1980 Page Two Attelge A special use permit request submitted by Mr. Aldrich was considered next. 0 Mr. Reinert read comments from the City Planner, Mr. Bill Short stating this is not consistent with the Comprehensive Land Plan. This plumbing type of business needs to have LI zoning and is not permitted in Commercial zoning. Mr. Short suggested this land be used as planned in the Compreh nsive Plan. Mr. Reinert felt that there was a number of things that need to be taken care of before consideration of this request. — -- Mr. Schumacher pointed out that many of these things have already been cleared. The drainage has been approved by the RCWB in the platting process. There is also sufficient parking provided. The access has been presented to the County Engineer and the access is located where the County Engineer recommended. Mr. Schumacher felt the major question is the Land Use Plan and the zoning. He felt there is a number of commercial properties in this area at the present time. Mr. Reinert felt that much time and money had been spent on formulating the Comprehensive Plan and he felt it is falling apart before it is even approved. Mr. Schumacher pointed out that the problem exists with the 300' commercial zoning along the highways - some of this land is proposed Res. in the Comprehensive Plan, however the commercial zoning exists at this point in time. This makes it difficult for the Planning and Zoning Commission as well as for the staff to give people the correct information. Mr. Schumacher suggested that perhaps a moratorium until the Comprehensive Plan is adopted. 411Mr. Doocy asked what the orginal plan for this plat was and Mr. Schumacher said the plat was residential with the lots facing Highway #8 in a commercial zone. Mr. Doocy asked if the applicant is the owner of this lot - Mr. Schumacher said he had a purchase agreement contingent upon approval by the City. Mr. Doocy noted that there is an Industrrial Park on Lilac - are persons being informed of this? MT. Schumacher felt it will be much easier to direct these persons once we have a zoning map. Mr. Doocy pointed out this special use permit is necessary under Ord. #56 which states that commercial buildings in an unsewered area must have this permit. This is the Ordinance the City is currently operating under. Mr. Reinert asked Mr. Aldr -iell why he hadn't look at the Industrial Park on Lilac and Mr. Aldrxah felt this location offered a better exposure to his business, which will include a showroom. Mr. Aldrich pointed out that the first few lots North of 77th are sold for commercial use. 4.1-Lo4?(D9€ Mr. Reine t t, j uestioned Mr. x-h about his locating in the Industrial Park and Mr. A-ldrich said he hopes that 95% of his business will be the retail sales, his actually operations as a plumber would be the installation of facets and items such as that. Mrs. Schwankl asked if the Board does not have to follow the current ordinance. Mr. Schumacher pointed out this is where the conflict exists. Ilihe general consensus of the Board was that the retail aspect of this proposal s permissable in this area - the Board was concerned with the actual plumbing operation aspect. Mr. Johnson moved to deny this special use permit request based on the comprehensive Plan and that there are no other buildings in the area.
