Planning Commission Minutes — November 13, 2008 Page 2 Rachel answered that they would have one(1) year to hook up according to our ordinance. Schumann opened the Public Hearing. The Applicant Frank Puleo came forth to answer any questions. Rosenquist asked how much additional land would MN DOT need to widen Hwy 61. Mr. Puleo answered that they would need an additional 35 feet and that he would have no idea what the layout of his property would be after they made the improvements. Elizabeth Herrmann, 6189 165th ST N, wanted to know the definition of temporary. She also asked if the City would require other temporary buildings on the site to be removed once City sewer and water was available. Bryan Bear explained that this would be the only temporary building that would be required to be removed and that the definition of temporary is because there is no permanent foundation. Schumann Closed the Public Hearing. Bryan further explained to the Planning Commission that staff would normally discourage temporary buildings in most areas of the City however staff thought that this was a reasonable area for a temporary building being that it would be redeveloped in the future. McRoberts asked if this would be a new portion of the business that would be in the trailer. The applicant Judy Puelo explained that now the current location for the flower shop was inside the greenhouse and the conditions are poor for an office area. She added that the noise, and heat in the summer make it hard to conduct business. Burmeister agreed with Mrs. Puleo and stated that in the summer months it gets considerably warm. Kleissler asked the applicant if the satellite restrooms will stay once the trailer is moved onto the site. Mr. Puleo stated that the satellite restrooms would stay and that the trailer would be an added convenience to staff working there. McRoberts motioned, Rosenquist Seconded, to approve the Site Plan and Variance request. All Ayes, Motion Carried.
