Chairman Miller called for additions or corrections to the minutes of the March 20, 1986 planning commission meeting. 86.29 Motion was made by Sizer, seconded by Walters, to approve. the minutes of the March 20, 1986 planning commission meeting. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Walters, Whittingham, Miller, Sizer. Abstain: MacGibbon The presentation to be given by Park and Recreation Director., Steve Michaud, of park acquisition and development bond referen- dum, was postponed until the April 17th meeting. Item #5 was skipped over for the time being. Chairman Miller opened the public hearing to consider the application of Daniel F. and Debbie K. Grossman for a conditional use permit for outside storage. on land zoned B-4, General Business, located on the north side of 205th Street (County Road 64) near the intersection of Lucerne Trail. Mr. Knutson stated that the proper mailed and published notices have been given for this hearing. Mr. Daniel Grossman explained there is a building on the property now, which they. will be using, and they plan to put fence up all around. He said there is some existing landscaping around the proposed outside storage area, but they will be adding more. Mr. Licht said the only major concerns involve landscaping, (around .the fence and the parking and driveway areas), accepta- bility of fencing material. and surfacing of parking and driveway areas. Mr. Licht does feel there is a need for plantings along the fences because of the length of them. He also feels we should specify blacktop or concrete for the parking/driveway areas rather than class five gravel. He went on to say there is an ordinance coming forth shortly changing the ordinance so that in the future it will be mandatory that parking lots and drive- ways be .blacktop or concrete.. The city does, however, have the right to impose this requirement on the applicant. Drainage will be reviewed by the engineer. Planning Commission Minutes April 3, 1986 Commission member Sizer asked about this one small section that is zoned B-4, feels that some where along the line it should have been reverted back to the R-1 zoning that surrounds it. Mr. Licht explained that it has been zoned that way since before 1969. Discussion followed on: requiring of security deposit, blacktop of parking/driveway area, signage, use of existing building, type of fence and type of plantings. It was brought up that any future signing must meet the require- ments of the current sign ordinance. 86.30 Motion was made by Walters, seconded by Whittingham, to close the public hearing. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes: Unanimous Commission member Sizer again questioned why we should have this island of B-4 zoning in a R-1 area. Mr. Licht explained that the use would still be there, even if we rezoned the area. Mr. Grossman said there would be some retail business but most of the work is contracted out. • 86.31 Motion was made by MacGibbon, seconded by Walters, to recommend. to city council approval of the application of Daniel F. and Debbie K. Grossman for a conditional use permit for outside storage on land zoned B-4, General Business, located on the north side of 205th Street (County Road 64) near the intersection of Lucerne Trail, subject to the following conditions: 1.
