Planning Commission Meeting February 28, 2002- page 3 Chuck Plowe from Plowe Engineers said the Rice Creek Watershed District had considered their application and found no problem with the layout of the lots; however, they tabled it because they wanted a mitigation plan. The Commission said it was important that future homeowners understand that they can not alter wetlands and requested that future owners receive notice of this. Malaski made motion, Rosenquist seconded, to recommend approval of the resolution approving the plat for Wilderness View adding a condition that the developers work with homeowners to control erosion, soil borings be performed on questionable lots, and each home site be in compliance with lowest floor elevations. Ayes: Kleissler, Malaski, McRoberts, Rooney, Rosenquist, Schumann Abstain: Peltier Motion Carried. Lametti & Sons, Inc. Site Plan Lametti & Sons, Inc, 16028 Forest Boulevard North, requested site plan approval to construct a 7,350 square foot office building and 28 parking stalls on the south end of their property. The proposed site improvements would include construction of a new parking lot and the removal of the existing office building. The existing office building consists of a renovated single family home. On February 7, 2000, the City Council had issued a conditional use permit for this site to allow exterior and interior storage of materials and equipment, processing of cured -in-place pipe, and modular office space. This conditional use permit was approved subject to 13 conditions. Staff found that the building addition would comply with all applicable requirements relating to setbacks, parking, building materials, and building height and coverage. The site plan was found to also comply with the amount of allowable impervious surface; however, a large portion of the site contained outside storage of equipment and materials. The existing permit allowed storage on 40 percent of the site. The applicant did not submit a landscaping plan with the application. In review of the site, staff noted violations of the existing conditional use permit. The permit allowed storage in a single contiguous location not exceeding 40 percent, to be fenced and screened from view of adjacent properties and public streets. Staff found that the outside storage appeared to exceed 40 percent of the lot area and was not completely screened from view. Randy Newberg from Rust Morrison Walijarvi Architects, was there to represent Lametti and Sons, Inc., and said they intended to remove an old building and construct a new one in an effort to clean up the property. Rooney made motion, McRoberts seconded, to table the request of Lametti and Sons, Inc. until such time they come into compliance with their current conditional use permit. Ayes: Kleissler, Malaski, McRoberts, Rooney Nay: Peltier, Rosenquist, Schumann Motion carried.
