2. Public Hearings
A. Consideration of an Amendment to the Spaeth Industrial Park Planned Unit
Development as Related to Building Design
Applicant: Ken Spaeth
City Planner Steve Grittman provided an overview of the agenda item to the
Planning Commission and the public. The request is related to adjusting the
originally approved design of the buildings in the PUD that would change the
materials above the door frames from a shake material to siding to match the
rest of the building. The second change is removing the single window located on
the side walls of those buildings. The PUD was approved with these original
features included in the building design, requiring the applicant to proceed with
the Land Use process. Mr. Grittman noted that as a PUD enhancement the
applicant has intentions of added brick/wainscot treatment to all the buildings
on site, rather only than the front buildings visible from Dundas Road. Staff
recommended approval of the agenda item.
Mr. Konsor opened the public hearing portion of the agenda item.
Seeing and hearing no comment, Mr. Konsor subsequently closed the public
hearing portion of the agenda items.
PAUL KONSOR MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. PC-2022-4511
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE SPAETH INDUSTRIAL
PARK PUD FOR A MODIFICATION TO THE APPROVED BUILDING MATERIALS,
BASED ON THE FINDINGS IN SAID RESOLUTION AND SUBJECT TO THE
CONDITIONS IN EXHIBIT Z. TERI LEHNER SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY, 3-0.
B. Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for Detached Accessory Structure —
Major in an R-1, Single Family Residence District
Applicant: Wes Olson
Mr. Grittman provided an overview of the agenda item to the Planning
Commission and the public. The applicant intended to build a Detached
Accessory Structure -Major on his property. The Conditional Use Permit was
requested because the proposed building would put the property above the
1,200 square foot threshold for accessory buildings on the property. It was noted
the applicant will add the code required 15% minimum of brick/wainscot on the
face of the building. Staff recommended approval of the agenda item.
Mr. Konsor asked if it should be included in the conditions in Exhibit Z that the
proposed structure will not be used for business purposes. Mr. Grittman clarified
that the applicant has already made the note to staff that this will not be used
for business practices, but the Planning Commission has the authority to add that
to Exhibit Z.
Mr. Konsor also noted that the removal of the current detached structure on site
could be an additional condition to Exhibit Z as well.
Mr. Konsor opened the public hearing portion of the agenda item.
Applicant Wes Olson, 1025 Oak Lane, mentioned that the plan is to remove the
existing detached structure on site prior to building the proposed structure. Mr.
Olson also clarified that he will be retiring this year and that the proposed
structure will not be used for business practices.
Mr. Konsor closed the public hearing portion of the agenda item.
ERIC HAGEN MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. PC-2022-46 RECOMMENDING
APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR GARAGE SPACE EXCEEDING

Commission proceeded with the agenda.

the agenda item to the Planning Commission and the public. An open position on
the Planning Commission is still available, and City staff is currently seeking
applications from Monticello residents.
Staff continues to prepare for the beginning of the Block 52 redevelopment
project with constant contact and coordination with members of the community
in the surrounding area of the downtown. Staff has also been working with the
Developer's team to save and repurpose certain items on the redevelopment
site.
