COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 22, 1997 Council Member Lyden asked about the proposed use of the half of the building that will not be used by Mr. Quimby. Ms. Wyland explained that use of the other half would have to comply with similar light industrial permitted uses. She added that Mr. Quimby will be remodeling the interior of the building according to applicable regulations and standards for safe operation. Council Member Neal asked about proposed hours of operation. Ms. Wyland stated that hours would be 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Monday through Friday, with occasional work on Saturday. Mr. Quimby explained that his current business has outgrown its present location, necessitating the move to a larger building. He added that the part of the building he will not be using is currently being used for cold -weather storage. Council Member Lyden asked City Attorney Hawkins if there would be any future liability to the City for possible environmental issues arising from differing uses within the building. Attorney Hawkins indicated there would not, and Mr. Quimby added that the EPA audits his type of business regularly to ensure compliance with current regulations. Council Member Neal moved to approve the conditional use permit pursuant to the conditions outlined above. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of Minor Subdivision, D. Kothe/M. Mularoni, Otter Lake Drive - Ms. Wyland explained that this item involves a request to subdivide a 3.48 -acre parcel of property into two parcels. The property is located immediately north and east of the Otter Lake Animal Care Center at 6848 Otter Lake Road, and was originally owned by the veterinary clinic. A minor subdivision to split the 3.48 -acre parcel from the clinic was approved in February of 1995. At that time, the new owner intended to construct a dog training facility on the site. This proposed construction is still pending. Ms. Wyland stated that the property is zoned Light Industrial and is indicated as such on the City's Land Use Plan. The Zoning District provides for a minimum lot size of 1 acre and minimum lot width of 100 feet. Parcel A is 1.61 acres in size and 195 feet in width. Parcel B is 1.87 acres in size and 100 feet in width. A 28 -foot -wide ingress and egress easement is provided for access to both parcels. According to Ms. Wyland, there has been discussion between the applicant and the property owners to the north and south concerning the purchase of additional property to square off the lot lines. However, although no agreement has been reached with either property owner. the applicant would like to proceed at this time with the subdivision. The City Engineer has reviewed the subdivision request and has found it acceptable. Utilities are available to serve both parcels off Otter Lake Road and the shared driveway arrangement is the preferred option on this roadway. Staff recommended approval of this minor subdivision with the following conditions: 1. Park dedication is provided as directed by the Subdivision Ordinance. This dedication will not occur until there is some construction on the site. 2. A shared driveway agreement shall be drafted for each parcel of property and recorded with the County • 3. Drainage and utility easements shall be provided as recommended by the City Engineer.
