• • COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 24, 1996 salaries and benefits portion of the budget was reviewed at the June 19, 1996 work session. Council Member Kuether moved to hire one additional police officer immediately and the second police officer in August when considering the 1997 Budget. The motion was seconded by Council Member Lyden. Council Member Neal asked that the first police officer be hired by July 15, 1996 to cover for the police officers who go on vacation. Chief Pecchia explained that because the Department is short staffed, vacation requests of more than six (6) days, overtime will be paid for some of the days the officer is gone. He also noted that the sergeants cover some of the time officers on vacation. Council Member Kuether asked Chief Pecchia to prepare a 30 day schedule for the Police Department for her review. She asked that the schedule be available at the first budget work session in August. Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously. Chief Pecchia received a notice from the State today, indicating that the Police Department will be receiving a grant in the amount of $13,000 to help defray overtime costs for the bicycle patrol, the curfew sweeps and to work on the neighborhood crime watch program. The Council will be required to approve this grant. Chief Pecchia will bring this matter to the next regular Council meeting. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD REPORT, MARY KAY WYLAND Consideration of Site Plan Review and Variance Request, Arnt Construction, 2190 Phelps Road - Ms. Wyland explained that Arnt Construction is requesting a site plan review and variance to costructa17,200 square foot warehouse/shop and a 2,528 square foot office. The property is zoned Light Industrial. The plan is to remove the existing metal pole building and attach the new warehouse/shop building and office to the existing 9,600 foot warehouse/shop building. Removal of the existing metal pole building was a condition of the permit to build the 9,600 square warehouse/shop in 1989. Arnt Construction is requesting two (2) variances. The first is to allow the new building to be located 7.7 feet from the property line. The staff and the Planning and Zoning Board have asked Arnt Construction to purchase additional footage from the adjoining landowner thereby eliminating the need for this variance. The second request for a variance is to allow one side of the building to be constructed 27.7 feet from Phelps Road. The current Zoning Ordinance requires a 50 foot setback from a front property line in this district. Staff is recommending approval of a 20 foot variance that would allow the building to be setback 30 feet from Phelps Road. When the new zoning ordinance is approved, a 30 foot setback from a residential street will be required. The 30 foot setback requirement would mean that Arnt Construction must reduce the size of the proposed office or warehouse/shop area by approximately three (3) feet. PAGE 3
