Board of Zoning Adjustments Meeting February 8, 207 - page 2 <br />The Associate Planner explained that the ordinance required building exteriors be architecturally <br />enhanced concrete panel, architecturally enhanced masonry block, masonry with block, masonry <br />with exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS), brick, dressed stoned or glass. The applicant <br />was requesting to match the existing building which is constructed of metal panels with some <br />brick. <br />Brunotte questioned the water run-off with the building so close to the property line and whether <br />it would cause water on the adjacent property. <br />The Associate Planner pointed out the infiltration area in the back and said it should be adequate <br />but the engineer would need specific calculations. The elevations did not show gutters on the <br />building. <br />Schumann opened the public hearing. <br />Mark Erickson, 15685 Foxhill Ave. N., explained that the back of his property faced Gusset <br />Design and asked if they operated 24 hours or when the late shift ended. <br />Burr, the property owner, said he ran one shift; not 24 hours. <br />Erickson said he could hear banging of metal, voices, garage doors opening and closing, and <br />forklifts backing up. He was not sure if all the noises were from Gusset Design or from NRI. <br />He agreed that sound traveled further at night. <br />There were no other comments, and Schumann closed the public hearing. <br />Schumann asked if there was any improper use on the property. The Associate Planner <br />explained it was a legal non -conforming use and he could continue the use there. <br />Burr said the last shift ended at 4:00 and none of his fork trucks have backup or beepers or <br />flashing light. Most of the noise is likely from the Peloquin Industrial Park. He had not had a <br />night shift for about four years, and the doors were opened and closed during the day. <br />Brunotte asked about fencing. <br />Burr said he would be changing the fencing along the north to relocate it on the property line and <br />said he would not have soffits but would have a gutter system on the roof. <br />Schumann made motion, Brunotte seconded, to recommend approval of the variances for Gusset <br />Design at 15587 Forest Boulevard North. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />Adjournment <br />
