Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes <br />January 26, 2015 <br />Page 5 <br />Commissioner Heinis asked Mr. Janssen if he would be interested in having the option to stay <br />open later on New Years Eve or other holidays if the holiday falls during the week. <br />Mr. Janssen replied he would like the option of being able to stay open until 1:00 a.m. on <br />those days. <br />8 Commissioner Poucher stated it appears the majority of parking and traffic occurs on the <br />9 north side and it seems logical to put some screening on the median to prevent glare. <br />10 <br />11 Mr. Janssen stated he has no problem with screening but was concerned about the south <br />12 entrance and being able to see pedestrians and oncoming traffic. He stated when you come <br />13 out on Kenzie Terrace, the landscaping there right now makes it hard to see traffic going <br />14 westbound. <br />15 <br />16 Commissioner Poucher indicated there is still a big gap where that incoming curb cut is <br />17 located and the bushes only block the headlights to a certain point. He was not sure if a fence <br />18 or something solid in this area would completely block out headlights from hitting the <br />19 neighbors but felt it might mitigate some of the issues. <br />20 <br />21 Commissioner Papatola stated he was sensitive to Commissioner Poucher's concern but was <br />22 hesitant to recommend an alternation without knowing what the impacts could be. <br />23 <br />24 Motion by Commissioner Papatola, seconded by Commissioner Heinis, to direct staff to <br />25 prepare a list of acceptable holidays during which the business may be open additional hours <br />26 for delivery. <br />27 <br />28 Motion carried unanimously. <br />29 <br />30 Motion by Commissioner Poucher to direct staff to amend the conditions to include the <br />31 addition of a fence or wood screening 3' in height to be located on the median on the east side <br />32 of the building and with additional natural screening on the east side boundary of the property. <br />33 <br />34 Motion failed for lack of a second. <br />35 <br />36 Motion by Commissioner Bartel seconded by Commissioner Papatola, to recommend that the <br />37 City Council approve the required screening as suggested by staff and outlined in the <br />38 resolution. <br />39 <br />40 Motion carried unanimously. <br />41 <br />42 VI. OTHER BUSINESS. <br />43 <br />44 A. CONSIDER APPROVAL — 2015 Planning Commission Meeting Schedule <br />45 <br />
