Planning Commission Minutes — December 14, 2006 Page 2 minor issue with a fence that had been addressed. Fred Chase, Vice -President of Lametti and Sons, Inc, said he had appeared before the Commission a few years prior when they built a new building. He said he recognized the community was growing around them and they were trying to clean up the exterior storage on the site. He had talked with neighboring property owners and they are proactive in planning how the properties might develop when City services became available. He apologized for being late in amending the CUP. Schumann asked how the current use was different than the use under the expired CUP. Chase said that five years ago they were operating out of an old farm house and modular structures, which had been eliminated when the new building was construction. On the western edge of the property there was a lean-to with exterior storage. In 1995-96, they entered into the cured -in-place pipe business and converted the northern part of the building for manufacturing. Schumann opened the public hearing. There were no comments and he closed the public hearing. Schumann acknowledged that the Lamettis had been a good neighbor and he had no issues with the CUP request. Weidt made motion, Bailly seconded, to recommend approval of the CUP for Lametti and Son's, Inc. All Ayes. Motion carried. Rooftop Screening Discussion The Commission discussed the screening of ground and roof top mechanical equipment in regard to commercial and industrial developments in the City, specifically in regard to the requirement for screening the roof top equipment on the Oneka Pet Resort located at 13477 Fenway Boulevard Circle North in the Bald Eagle Industrial Park. The City had received a screening plan for the building that included a drawing showing that the roof top mechanical equipment would not be seen from the center of the cul-de-sac. Staff had done an inspection of the property and while the equipment was partially screened from view, the equipment could be seen from the center of the cul-de-sac and Highway 61. Staff provided the Commission information on the approving resolution. The CD intern showed pictures of other business in the Industrial Park with roof top mechanical equipment and compared how they were screened. Schumann questioned whether screening interfered with the operation of the equipment. The CDD said it could and the best option would be to raise the parapet wall.
