Mr. Knutson stated that the proper mailed and published notices have been given for this hearing.. Bill Macklin, Attorney, spoke on behalf of Mr. Tongen and gave a brief history of Mr. Tongen's being in business in Lakeville for many years. He stated that the purchase agreement with the city is null and void if his • request is denied. Mr. Macklin mentioned the type of fencing that Mr. Tongen would like to put in, something new in concrete, rather than a chain link fence. Mr. Macklin also said they would like to use two semi trailers for storage for six months, (rather than four) at which time .the concrete fence would be built. This is a change they are asking for, from four to six months time limit on putting up the fence. He said the concrete panels are designed to be attractive enough by themselves, perhaps not needing Boston Ivy or similar type planting. He also mentioned the trees that had been planted by Father Zweber are actually on this property and that it would be difficult for snow plowing if all the requested trees were planted. Mr. Licht responded that the shrubs could be worked around or under the. existing trees. Mr. Macklin said they would like a directional sign placed on Holyoke Avenue and they might like to utilize the antenna that is already there and. would know within three months whether. or not they would use it, or remove it. Mr. Don Olson, Director of Operations at Royal Milc, represented Mr. W.W. Krentz, who had written a letter to Mr. McGarvey stating their opposition to the issuing of a conditional use permit to Mr. Tongen for outside storage, and read the .letter to the commission. He reiterated that they .have a large investment here, having cleaned up the area and expanded their business. He explained that the alley way, which has been used for many years, will be partially blocked by the fence to be put in by Mr. Tongen, and will keep some of their very large trucks from making the turn, to get • to the loading docks. They would like an easement, or at least no parking on the south side of 209th Street. He explained they had given a drainage 2 F . ~ Planning Commission Minutes April 18, 1985 easement to the city in the area where they could possibly build a street, but probably not to handle the very large trucks. So, for the above reasons, they object to a conditional use permit being issued to Mr. Tongen. Mr. Macklin pointed out that the conditions in the conditional use permit could regulate what .the applicant can or cannot do. Mr. Robinette stated that a request could be made for no parking on the south side of 209th Street, but not as a condition of the conditional use permit. Discussion followed on the off premise. sign, the alley way, no parking, fencing, type of sales and zoning of this property.
