1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 19, 1991 <br />The parking area in front of the building is proposed to have <br />seven (7) stalls and includes concrete curb and gutter. The <br />parking area in the rear will be asphalt. The site is zoned <br />Light Industrial (LI) and contractor storage is permitted if it <br />is enclosed within a building. The DRB has recommended approval <br />of the request including approval of the Planner's recommendation <br />outlined in the DRB "green sheet" dated December 11, 1991. Mr. <br />Miller explained that applicant has done a good job of meeting <br />City design criteria for industrial development. However, two <br />(2) issues do remain. The plan proposes an overhead door on the <br />front of the building. Mr. Miller is recommending that the door <br />be deleted from the plan. The second issue is that currently <br />sanitary sewer and municipal water are not available to the lot. <br />Mr. Miller is recommending that the owner agree at this time to <br />accept assessments for the utilities when they are extended to <br />his property in the future. <br />Rocky Goertz, 3915 - 133rd Lane explained that the assessments <br />would be approximately $27,000 for his lot. He said he would <br />have not problem with this but was concerned about when he would <br />be required to pay the assessments. He also noted that at this <br />time he would have a large amount of money invested in a septic <br />system and well and did not want to face the possibility of <br />assessment in the near future. Mr. Schneider explained that the <br />City is not considering extending utilities to the lots north of <br />Mr. Goertz's lot. Council Member Reinert said that the City <br />would not force utilities past Mr. Goertz's lot until there was a <br />demand for the services north of his lot. <br />Mr. Goertz addressed the front overhead door issue. He explained <br />that the door was needed so that he could store his truck inside <br />the building. There is not enough room inside the building to <br />allow the storage of the truck without the ability to drive <br />straight through. Without the front door, the truck would have <br />to be stored outside of the building. Mr. Goertz also said he <br />felt the landscaping requirements were "out of hand ". <br />Council Member Bohjanen said he felt that the overhead door on <br />this proposed building would not look any worse than the overhead <br />doors on the new fire station. He moved to approve DRB <br />Application No. 91 -55 and allow the overhead door and keep the <br />landscaping as approved by the DRB. Council Member Neal seconded <br />the motion. <br />Council Member Reinert asked Mr. Miller why he was recommending <br />that the overhead door be eliminated. Mr. Miller explained that <br />the door would be located almost directly across from the <br />Correctional Facility gate. An open door would be very visible <br />and would be more intrusive than a truck parked next to the <br />PAGE 11 <br />244 <br />
