Planning Commission Minutes — February 8, 2007 <br />Page 3 <br />do stay later once in awhile but usually not past six o'clock. He said behind his property was the <br />Peloquin Industrial Park and some of the businesses there operated 24 hours and generate noise. <br />He said the addition to the building would allow him to keep more of his staff working indoors. <br />Weidt asked about the addition in 1992 and if there was a variance granted for the construction <br />standards. <br />Burr said the standards were not in effect at the time, and Schumann explained that the standards <br />originated with the creation of the Bald Eagle Industrial Park. <br />McRoberts said he did not agree that there was a hardship present in regard to the construction <br />materials. <br />Burr said a concrete addition would look out of place and it could make it difficult to market. <br />Rosenquist asked if the addition could be moved over five feet to allow for a greater setback <br />Burr said there would be a step in the building and it would look strange if all the roof lines did <br />not line up. <br />Rosenquist commented that it sometimes looked better to break up the roof lines. <br />Weidt asked if the roof line would hang over the property line. <br />Burr said there would be no soffit; there would be a cap with gutters. <br />Bailly asked if they could lose some of the parking stalls in the front and create more green <br />space. <br />The Associate Planner pointed out that all the parking spaces were required. <br />Rosenquist said he did not like the one foot setback. <br />Schumann said it was a problematic area and would look better than it does now. <br />Bailly was concerned about the future neighbors on the east side should the property ever <br />develop and suggested 20 percent of the exterior be brick, perhaps columns of brick on the back <br />and north sides. She also was interested in seeing the landscape plan and felt it would help to <br />add some trees adjacent to the pond. She agreed it would be nice to have the exterior storage <br />cleaned up. She wondered about the construction of the roof line if the addition was moved five <br />feet, and she said she would not like to see the addition be more than four feet higher than the <br />exiting building. <br />McRoberts said the intent to clean up the exterior storage was commendable, but he couldn't see <br />why he could not comply with the building material. He also said he had difficulty in approving <br />the setback. He suggested moving the five feet of landscaping shown on the north side to the <br />
