MOTION CARRIED
5.6 Wally Otto - Site Plan Approval
Mr. Otto owns 5 acres and has a Contract for Deed on 12 acres in the AG zone, and
would like to construct a 40 x 90 pole barn to be used for agricultural purposes.
The barn would be located on the 5 acre parcel (separate deeds) .
MOTION: LaValle made motion, seconded by Schletty, to approve the Site Plan for
Wally Otto.
LaValle withdrew his motion.
There was much discussion regarding the purchase of 12 acres from the Benson Kennel
property by Mr. Otto. McAllister felt that the balance of land should be kept in-
tact to coincide with the required Special Use Permit. The Planning Commission
recommended approval because they interpreted the ordinance to read that 3600 sq ft
would be allowed in the AG zone. Mr. Barbour had never approached the city for
approval of Land Division to sell the 12 acres to Mr. Otto. Attorney Johnson
suggested that the city call in the fee owner to obtain authority from them, if
there are going to be restrictions on the land. Mr. Otto stated that there are
lots for sale lying along County Road 8A, and the Mayor was of the opinion that
city approval had never been granted. Attorney Johnson stated that if he meets
requirement for Land Division (12 acres) , a deed could be reviewed based on a
Certificate of Survey. The question is whether the Special Use Permit was based
on certain acreage; you could be looking at action to revoke the permit.
MOTION: McAllister made motion, seconded by Schletty, to table this matter until
the meeting of April 6, 1981 , at 7:45 PM. Messrs. Barbour and Benson,
along with fee owners involved, are to be sent registered letters stating
that we will be conducting a special review of the Special Use Permit on
that date and request they attend.
VOTING FOR: LaValle, McAllister, Schletty, Vail
MOTION CARRIED
Mr. Otto to provide a certificate of survey for the 12 acre parcel, along with
adequate proof-of-ownership.
5.7 KLK Industries - Bald Eagle Industrial Park
Mr. Dale Keller, part owner, was present and questioned why access to the park is
not accomplished by 128th Street as indicated on the original plat. The Mayor
touched briefly on the history of the industrial park, and stated that the con-
struction of 130th Street does not change the plat of the park, it is only an
addition. Mr. Keller did not feel the proposed storm sewer improvement would
• J

eliminate the surface water problem on his property. The Mayor explained the
details of the improvement, and Mr. Keller stated that he had misread the plan,
and felt that the proposed improvement, as explained, would alleviate the pro-
blem. Mr. Keller would like to construct another business on the southern 4
acres of the KLK property. Keller was not aware that there was access to that
back property, along an easement to the west of KLK. In order to divide the
4 acres, a Minor Subdivision and Site Plan Approval would be required. Mayor
LaValle was willing to work with Mr. Keller to try and remedy whatever problems
he may have.
5.8 Jayson Knoph (A & W) - Licenses
