Planning Commission Meeting Minutes August 17, 1999 Page 7 1 jet skis, ATV's and motorcycles. Mr. Kellison further stated that Mr. Furseth has been amenable 2 to working with the foreseeable plans for the shopping center. 3 Mr. Kellison pointed out that the site plan presented does not specifically include landscaping, 4 lighting, or redevelopment of some of the site areas since the area'is under review and discussion 5 with the City. Since Mr. Furseth would begin construction in September, the City's plan could 6 be incorporated once plans have been approved. 7 Mr. Kellison had a concern over the proposed trash enclosure for the business. He stated that the 8 business generates a significant amount of cardboard and the easiest way to dispose of the trash 9 is with a 30 yard enclosed trash bin on the south side of the building. Kellison demonstrated that 10 it was impracticable to complete a fully enclosed structure for a trash bin because the bin would 11 be completely carried away by a trash truck and replaced with a new one. Mr. Furseth intends to 12 build a screen wall to shield the bin from immediate view. 13 Bergstrom stated that the residents of the Autumn Woods Apartments currently have an unattrac- 14 tive view of the site and the proposed modifications would be an improvement. 15 Mr. Kellison stated that the new rooftop air conditioning units would be considerably smaller 16 than the units in place now. The intent is to choose a color for the units that would blend with 0the building. Mr. Kellison felt blending the color would be a superior method over the proposed 18 construction of a screening wall for the units. 19 Mr. Kellison clarified that Mr. Furseth is in agreement with all of Mr. Krier's comments, except 20 for the total enclosure of the trash bin and screening wall for the air conditioning units. 21 Hatch asked if there would be a separate dumpster for recyclable materials. Mr. Kellison stated 22 that it is the hauler's responsibility to separate the trash from the recyclable items and that one 23 bin would be utilized for both. 24 Horst asked for clarification regarding proposed screening for the trash. Mr. Kellison stated that 25 a screen wall would be placed at the south end of building about eight feet high. Horst reiterated 26 that the dumpsters are not attractive and he would like to see some screening for the trash bin. 27 Mr. Kellison said that the Master Plan provided for overstory trees close by that could benefit 28 some screening for the trash bin. Mr. Kellison plans on discussing with the City definite plans 29 for financial responsibility of landscaping. 30 Horst said he is satisfied with the proposed screening and also believed the air conditioning units 31 would be camouflaged sufficiently with coordinating color and it would not be necessary to build 32 a screening wall around each unit. 0 Tillman questioned whether test driving for jet skis,motorcycles or other equipment would be 34 allowed. Mr. Kellison responded that snowmobiles and jet skis are difficult to test drive and that
