Planning Commission Minutes — March 27, 2008 Page 2 the current building. The Associate Planner explained the current building is approximately 41,000 square feet, and the expansion would make the total square footage of the building approximately 62,000. There is 3,600 square feet of office area in the building and the rest is used for painting industrial materials that include bridge components, propane tanks, and materials for Caterpillar, 3M, and Boeing. Rosenquist asked if the City had received any complaints on the site. The Associate Planner answered there had been complaints from residents in the Oneka Ponds development regarding noise on the site. Gary Papermaster explained the sounds were from moving steel into the building. Steel had to be brought into the building during the winter to warm it to a certain temperature prior to painting it. The expansion would allow more room for steel to be brought in during the daylight hours, eliminating the need to work outside in the evenings. McRoberts made motion, Schumann seconded, to recommend approval of the site plan for Industrial Painting Specialists. All Aye. Motion carried. 2008 Comprehensive Plan The Commission continued discussion on the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. The CDD provided a recap of recent meetings held and the motions that were made and directions given to staff. At the last Commission meeting, the Commission has directed staff to hold neighborhood meetings with property owners on the east side of Goodview Avenue between Egg Lake Road and 132"d Street, property owners on the north and south side of Oneka Lake along Greene Avenue, and with property owners along Elmcrest Avenue south of 165th Street. The CDD reviewed the rural area options for eastern Hugo. Options were to preserve land for future development, preserve land for open space and natural resources, or a compromise of the two by providing only a portion of the rural area with future sewer and water. Staff had held two of the neighborhood meetings, and was not able to arrange a meeting with the property owners along Elmcrest Avenue and 165th Street. The Commission discussed the meeting with the residents along Goodview Avenue who were concerned about being included in the MUSA and the increase in property taxes because of it. Barb Connelly, 13475 Goodview Avenue North, said she was now okay with staying in the MUSA. Three other individuals in the audience nodded in agreement. McRoberts made motion, Schumann seconded, to make no change and leave the properties along Goodview Avenue, south of Egg Lake Road and north of 132"d Street, in the MUSA. All Ayes. Motion carried.
