Public Hearing — Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for Cross Easement for Parking in the Central Community District (CCD) Applicant: Bill & Penny Burt Mr. Grittman provided an overview of the agenda item. The cross easement for parking is between Rustech Brewing Company located at 105 W 3rd St in Monticello, and the Schlenner Wenner & Co. parking lot located at 114 W 3rd St. The cross easement is to ensure that Rustech Brewing will have ample parking following their plans to expand their area within the building they currently reside in. The Rustech location is limited in terms of parking spaces, and the proposed Conditional Use Permit is a way to solve this concern. Staff reviewed the request and recommends approval as it to complies with code requirements for shared parking in the CCD. Mr. Konsor noted this particular instance is different than other parking arrangements in the downtown area as the lot being shared is across 3rd Street. He asked if there are any safety concerns in that regard. Mr. Grittman acknowledged that safety had been a considered during the review process, but noted that there are other public parking lots in the downtown area that serve businesses not on the same block as the parking lot. Councilmember Charlotte Gabler asked if there was an area along 3rd Street where sidewalk would be extended as there is a gap near the property location of discussion. Chief Building Official/Zoning Administrator Ron Hackenmueller said that he was not aware of plans to create more sidewalk along 3rd Street. Eric Hagen asked if there was a good way to keep track of conditional use permits at the staff level to ensure agreements similar to the one discussed, so they do not overlap in any way. Mr. Grittman said there is a way to track conditional use permits and other agreements like this through the recording process and filing at City Hall. Alison Zimpfer asked if the lot requested to be used by Rustech for parking is well lit. Mr. Grittman said that there is adequate street lighting and adequate lighting can be seen from aerial images of the parking lot. Mr. Konsor asked if the building use would change in the future, would the conditional use permit be voided. Mr. Grittman confirmed and added that one of the conditions of approval is that the uses stay the same for both properties during the time of the conditional use permit, to maintain the compatibility of business hours between both places. Mr. Hagen asked about the recodification process mentioned for 2022 and asked what the timeline for that would be. Mr. Grittman noted that was an item planned to be discussed at a future date with the Planning Commission's workplan. Mr. Konsor opened the public hearing portion of the agenda item. Andrew Tapper asked how it will be known to customers that the parking lot is a usable space for patrons. Bill Burt, owner of Rustech Brewing Company, said that there will be minimal directional signage to notify that the lot is available for use. It would also be noted on social media platforms. Mr. Konsor closed the public hearing portion of the agenda item. PAUL KONSOR MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO.
