CITY OF ST. ANTHONY PLANNING BOARD MINUTES July 19 , 1977 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Hiebel at 7 :53 P.M. when there was a quorum of members present. Present for roll call: Rymarchick, Hiebel, Marks and Johnson Absent: Cowan, Letourneau and Bowerman Also present: Jim Fornell, Acting City Manager Motion by Mr. Rymarchick and seconded by Mr. Marks to approve the minutes for the June 21, 1977 Planning Board meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Wil Johnson will represent the Board at the July 26, 1977 Council meeting. Dick Gay of Gay Realty and Harry Schroeder, project architect, appeared to present the site plans for the 17,280 square foot assembling and • warehousing building proposed to be erected for Cassidy Products, Inc. , and an undetermined tenant on Lots 6 and 7, Block 3, St. Anthony Office Park Addition. Since the proposed tenant would be a warehousing type use which does not typically require a great number of parking spaces and Cassidy's actual parking needs are estimated to be only 10, the 34 parking spaces provided in the plan seemed to be adequate. However, Staff felt the City should establish an occupancy review procedure whereby a change of tenant could be reviewed regarding operations and such requirements as parking, fire protection, water service, etc. Mr. Schroeder's contention that unrealistic parking quotas were set for warehousing and office businesses were supported by staff 's sugges- tion that parking space provisions in the zoning ordinance should be modified to provide additional categories of uses. Mr. Hiebel said he would like the matter put on the agenda for a meeting sometime soon when time can be taken for a thorough discussion of the occupancy re- view procedure and parking space categories. Motion by Mr. Johnson and seconded by Mr. Hiebel to 'recommend approval of the site plans for the Cassidy Products building as presented, sub- ject to Board approval of the final landscaping, lighting and signing plans with the right reserved to the Board to review the proposed tenant of the space not utilized by Cassidy. Motion carried unanimously. . Mr. Gay responded to Mr. Mark's comments on the unkept condition of the park entrance by promising better maintenance and saying formal land- scaping for that area had been deferred until after County Road C has �� been rebuilt.
