Planning Commission Minutes — April 27, 2006 Page 5 Michelle Doble, 4368 Victor Hugo Boulevard, said she was the liaison for the association and had sent an email to everyone on her list informing them of this development. She did not receive response from anyone. Rachel Kirk, 4393 Victor Path #3, questioned the stakes on the property and location of the garden area and wanted to know if the garden size would remain the same. Hempel explained the building would be fifteen feet to the east of the lot corner. It was not staked because the sales trailer was in the way. She showed the location on the map. Charles Kirk, 4393 Victor Path #3, thanked Pratt and said he appreciated his working with the homeowners association. He had concerns about the electrical and water meter equipment being located outside of the units and said to move them inside the building would beautify the open space. He asked about the fence and which HOA would maintain it and he wanted details about the flower bed. Hempel said to enclose the area would make it too tight. He fence would be left open around the perimeter and drive isle. The sewer and water needed to come into the building where it was located on the plan and the electric would be on the other side. Screening could be done with larger evergreens and landscaping and the water pond would be revamped to accommodate what the neighbors wanted. The fence would be maintained by the Master HOA, and the parking near the townhomes would be labeled for community center parking. There were no other comments, and Schumann closed the public hearing.

The CD Intern explained the applicant was proposing to build and sell truck mounted concrete pumps. The zoning ordinance allows for the manufacturing of products such as this in the I-3 District; however, the applicant is required to obtain a dealers license for the sale of motor vehicles, which can only be allowed with the approval of a CUP. She explained that Sermac America had a lease agreement with Frederick Suess to occupy the building in Bald Eagle Industrial Park formally known as White Bear Electric. Sermac America had no plans to modify the property in any way as they occupy the building. Sermac was headquartered in Milan, Italy, and had been manufacturing truck mounted concrete pumps since 1989. In the first 12 months of operation in Hugo, Sermac America planned to build one unit per month and increase to two units per month thereafter. After manufacturing the pump, and prior to
