Absent; Reinert, Johnson, Bathke. The minutes of June 18,1980 were considered. Mr. Heath asked that the minutes .e amended to read that a motion was made to have the Attorney look into changing the Ordinance on Special Use Permits with the idea that special use permits should be different than actual zonings. Mr. Doocy moved to approve as corrected. Seconded by Mr. Prokop. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Bill Short was present to comment on Lakes Add. #7. Mr. Short said he recommended this be considered as R3. This would be under #56C. He said he analyzed as R5. He said he had reviewed as both R3 and R5. R5 would require 16,000 square feet - all lots qualify under this - the lot width is 150' at building setback line and there are some that do not meet this requirement. Basically these are lots located on cul -de -sacs. Mr. Short also indicated there are some problem soils in this area that the developer should be aware of. The parking is adequate Mr. Short said, although the park land dedication had been satisfied for this land, thedeveloper should consider a small tot lot for the use of just these units. Mr. Blackbird said they are considering 3 small swing set type tot lots. Mr. Short questioned the utility line running thorugh the property - it is not shown on the plat. He also questioned the lack of a storm water easement. Mr. Short suggested that in areas such as this, there should be some pro- visions for outside storage area. The two major areas of concerns is the frontage of some of the lots and the Oroning. Mr. Heath felt this will need to be resolved by the Council. Mr. chumacher felt the type of zoning existing at the present time, it will allow this type of construction. The Enviornmental Assessment Worksheet was considered. Mr. Short said the acceptance of this is the responsibility of the City Council. This must be done prior to the final approval of this plat. Mr. Short had reviewed this worksheet and his comments were a part of his letter to the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Blackbird commented on several of the points made by Mr. Short. Basically, the discussion on this will be held until scheduled at 9:00 P.M. The first item on the agenda was Mr. Rudy Tschida. He was not present. The next item to be considered was a special use permit for Mr. Spetzman. Mr. Johnson arrived at 8:10 P.M. Mr. Spetzman questioned the need for a special use permit since the entire three acres was zoned commercial. Mr. Schumacher explained that any time a commercial building is constructed in an unsewered area, thare must be a special use permit for the construction of the building. This is to be a wood frame building with the inner walls sheet rocked. The request as stated in the rezoning application had set forth a cement block 0 wilding. This building will have no running water and no need for septic ystem and will be used for a transmission repair shop. There was some dis- cussion on the possible pollution of the soils with the oil. Mr. Spetzman felt this is not a danger.
