COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 24, 1997 • the size of the building and the use of satellites. He felt this use could hinder the development of the other three (3) areas of the intersection since it would be less attractive to future businesses. • Mr. Wessel stated that the interim use is the reason why many of the appearance issues are being raised (the small building, gravel parking lot and satellites). He stated the approval could be made contingent upon the Town Center Planning Committee signing off on the design, much like how they are currently working with Fairview. Mayor Landers asked why a holding facility could not be used instead of satellites. Mr. Manthis said this was in their original plan but was told the City has an ordinance prohibiting this unless it is of an emergency nature. Mayor Landers asked if something could be added to the motion regarding a holding tank versus satellites. Mr. Ahrens stated he would have to look at the City's Code as well as ordinances keeping in mind that this is for interim use. He stated he believed satellites would still be feasible by coming up with some creative ideas. Mr. Schumacher asked if this could not be addressed right in the ordinance. Mr. Brixius replied the City could look at that type of flexibility as long as it is the Council's desire and an acceptable arrangement for the developer. Council Member Bergeson stated that these all seem to be design issues and that the Village/Town Center has had a lot of design work done. He stated the Council is trusting the Committee to oversee the guidelines and approve the design in that area. Council Member Bergeson stated he feels the Council should trust the Committee to oversee the temporary use of this part of the intersection as well. A motion was not made regarding this ordinance at this time since a motion will be considered with the following item. Consideration of an Interim Use Permit for Golf Driving Range, I-35W/County Road #23 (Lake Drive) - Mr. Brixius explained the Planning and Zoning Board held a Public Hearing on March 12, 1997, which resulted in the recommendation to approve the interim use permit wit,h the conditions outlined in the staff report dated March 6, 1997 and the addition to Condition No. 11 a. that an option for renewal be provided if applicable. He stated that all voted aye with Mr. Robinson abstaining from the vote. Council Member Kuether asked if notices were sent out to all the adjacent property owners to make them aware this was being discussed tonight. Ms. Wyland answered yes and that it was published twice. She stated they received a couple of calls after the first publication in January. Council Member Lyden moved to refer Ordinance No. 05 - 97 to staff for further consideration. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried with Council Members Bergeson and Neal voting no. Mayor Landers verified by a 3 to 2 vote the Ordinance will be automatically tabled.
