Planning Commission Minutes — April 14, 2005 Page 4 of 5 Schumann said the east end of the property should have full landscaping in place, and the entire outdoor area should be paved and fenced on three sides. A sidewalk should be constructed on the east and west sides of the building. He saw no problem with granting a ten -foot variance. Rosenquist asked about the exterior storage of the chemicals. Nugent explained that they would dig down several feet and put plastic under Class 5 rock that the tank would be sitting on. In case of a spill, the Class 5 could easily be dug out. Rosenquist suggested he meet with staff regarding it and the CCD said it would be addressed with the building permit. The planner talked about moving the doors to the east and west ends and re -orientating the offices. Rosenquist pointed out that people could not be brought through the storage area. Nugent agreed to move the door to the west elevation and re -orientate the office on the west end. Larrive questioned the proposed lighting. Nugent said it would be directed away from the homes. It would be low lighting on low poles. The planner said it could be made a condition of approval. Schumann closed the public hearing. Bailly made motion, Rosenquist seconded, to table the application until the next Commission meeting on April 28, 2005. All Ayes. Motion carried. Schumann reopened the public hearing and recessed it to reconvene on April 28, 2005. The Commission took a short break.
