Minutes for the Planning Commission February 24, 1999 - Page 2 Puleo read the public notice as published in the White Bear Press, and opened the meeting for public comment but there was none. Mr. Scanlan explained that the existing horse barn is quickly rotting due to extensive water damage and expressed concerns about safely running his horse operation. Mr. Scanlan currently has 15 horses and is unable to keep all of them in the barn. Mr. Scanlan said he would be approaching the Planning Commission again in the near future to discuss issues involving the home he planned to construct such as driveway access and setbacks from the lake. Malaski questioned whether a special use permit should be permitted prior to addressing these issues. Mr. Scanlan assured the Planning Commission he would definitely be building the home, but the details would have to be worked out. Kellison felt a letter of credit would be necessary to ensure the house would be built. Kellison made motion, Peltier seconded, to recommend approval of the special use permit to construct a 44' x 70' accessory building prior to construction of residence with the following conditions: 1. The property owner is to combine Government Outlot 1 and 2, Section 4, T3 1N, R2 IW into one parcel of record. 2. Construction of a residence on the property is to commence within 18 months of the issuance of this SUP. 3. The existing 40' x 120' barn on the property shall be demolished and removed within twelve (12) months of the completion of the new barn. 4. The property owner is to provide the City with a letter of credit or cash deposit, in the amount of $10,000 to insure removal of the existing building and construction of the residence, as specified. 5. Use of the accessory building shall comply fully with the City's zoning ordinance. All Ayes. Motion carried. Site Plan Approval-Sotelo Body & Paint Mr. Brian McGoldrick, 14715 Square Lake Trail, Stillwater, MN, and Mr. Bruce A. Sotelo of Sotelo Body & Paint, 1556 5th St., White Bear Lake, MN, had requested site plan approval to use McGoldrick's building at 5100 130th St. N. (the old Dyna Glass building), for auto body repair and painting. The property is located in the City's Industrial Zoning District, which allows auto body repair shops as a permitted principal use. Bruce Sotelo and his fiancee, Nancy, were present at the meeting and stated that according to Mr. McGoldrick, an asphalt driveway was to be installed by September 1, 1999. They had also been working with the Fire Chief and Building Inspector regarding building code requirements. It was determined by the Planning Commission and staff that Mr. McGoldrick has not been in compliance with conditions of his previous site plan. Kellison made motion, Malaksi seconded, to table the site plan approval until the owner, Mr. McGoldrick, presented an adequate plan on how he will accommodate two tenants in the building. Ayes: Kellison, Kleissler, Malaski, Peltier, Puleo Abstain: Schumann Motion carried. Kellison directed staff to contact Mr. McGoldrick and advise him to be at the next meeting.
