4. Public Hearing.- Variance Reuumst to Allow a Sidavard Variance within
Five Peet of a Side Int Line and a Variance Reguest to Allow Another
Driveway Access Within 40 Feet of an Existing Driveway, Applicant -
Best in Webb.
Ridgeway convened the public hearing asking for any public comment
an the proposal. Mr. Wayne Bidwell, representing Beet in Webb,
came before the Commission to provide detailed explanation of the
site plan. He explained that in order to accommodate the size of
expansion his firm required, the building would need to be
built within five feet of the side lot line. In referring to the
Variance Request for the second driveway, he explained that two
loading berths wore required for the new building and that it would
be virtually impossible to serve the building if the driveways had
to be 40 feet apart. Commission member Cochran questioned Eidem
with respect to a letter that was submitted by John Simola, Monticello
Public works. Director. Cochran's question referred to the following
statement: "We are opposed to these types of Variances." Eidem
explained that Simcla's comment was primarily addressing two Variances
that were not officially applied for, vis, that off-street parking
shall not be allowed within 15 feet of street surfacing and that
the boulevard portion of any street right-cf-way shall not be used
for parking. He explainod that the configuration of the loading
bertha when occupied by trucks would violate both of these provisions.
He stated that Simola's comment was primarily from the Public Works
Department but that it had general staff support. Eidam noted that
while those variances wore not in the form of formal requests,
approving the building and site configuration would implicitly
approve these Variances. This was Simola'o,concern.
Mr. Bidwoll indicated that it would be easy for him to move his
proposed building westerly 10 toot, but that he had designed it ao
that the oast wall of the proposed building would be in lino with
the east wall of the existing building for aesthetic purposoa.
He indicated he caw no real difficulty moving the building westerly
to accommodate the loading berth requirements. Bidwell noted that
to move the building westerly would not really altor the oubmittod
Variance requests. He indicated he would still need a Variance to
place the building within five foot of the aide lot line and a Variance
to have two driveways within 40 foot of each other. Prior to the
making of any motion, the Commieaion caked Bidwell to confirm U:at
the site configuration would be amended to chow the proposed building
being placed westerly 10 foot from ita proposed location to address
the loading berth question. Bidwell agreed to that provision.
Thoro being no other public commont. Ridgeway cloned the hearing.
A motion was made by Cochran, duly seconded by Scl:offer, and carried
unanimously to grant a Variance to Boot in Webb for two driveway
accesses within 40 foot of each other and to grant a Variance allowing
a building to be within five foot of the side yard lino.

on the land bacauso of its proximity to the Miaoioaippi River.

chod. Further, he noted that a curb cut that will become non-

Buninonn Buildinq in a B-4 Zone, Applicant - Tom Hamer.
Ridgeway convened the public hearing. Ridgeway raised a question
relating to whother or not this is nn appropriate request. Ila

residential units were allowed no Conditional Uses within the 9-4
Zone. Eidcm noted that the discropancy had been discovered by otaff
during a conversation with Mr. hammer's attorney. Eidom also stated
that he had been in touch with both Mr. hammer and his attorney and
that they had requested a continuance of the public hearing to tho

of the public present to speak to the issue, Ridgeway closed the
hearing. Mr. Cochran, upon noting the location of the proposed
Conditional Use, inquired as to the status of the Conditional Use
Permit that was granted at an earlier meeting to Hurfin Landscaping
for the same site. Ridgeway indicated that Murfin Landscaping had
gone out of business, and hence, the Conditional Use was forfeit.
Eidem noted that there had been other Conditional Use Requests for
this site, and a major concern consistently arose over the landscaping
and hard surfacing requirements. Ridgeway noted that there were
18 requirements explicitly stipulated in the ordinance for auto
sales and minor auto repair, and that the applicant had agreed to
abide by all conditions. Motion was made by Cochran, duly seconded
by Schaffer, and carried unanimously to recommend to the City
Council that a Conditional Use Pormit be granted to Eugene Kunkel
to allow an outdoor sales lot and a minor auto repair busineso in
a B-3 Zone.

6. Informal Planninq Commission Discussion to Hear a Rezoning Request
to Rezone from R-2 to R-3, Applicant - Gordon Link. (G.A.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND.
Mr. Gordon Link, along with his son, is proposing to have three
of his residential lots, Lots 8, 9, and 10, Block 8, Original Plat,
rezoned from R-2 to R-3 to allow him to build a proposed 8 -unit
apartment building. Instead of going through public hearing process
to have the rezoning request heard, City staff recommends that
Mr. Link come in,along with his son,before you and present their
proposed plans for their apartment building and ask for your input
on their request to rezone Lots S. 9, and 10, Block 8, Original
Plat, from R-2 to R-3. Mr. Howard Dahlgren, Dahlgren G Associates,
the City's Consulting Planner, stopped in this afternoon, Thursday,
May 3, 1984, to discuss with me the proposed rezoning request. Mr.
Dahlgron had not driven by the site at this time but was getting
some more information from me an the proposed request. At the time
of this supplement, I will not have Mr. Dehlgron'e comments in regard
to this request but will be presented to you at Tuesday night's
Planning Commission meeting. Ono thing City staff recommended to
Mr. Dahlgren was to look at more than just Lots 8, 9, and 10, of
Block 8, Original Plat, but also to include the possibility of
squaring off the existing R-2 zoning of Blocks 22, 23, 8, 9, T, and
S, Original Plat Addition to the City of Monticello, and include
those blocks in his consideration with the rezoning request. Therefore,
it would not be spot zoning just Lots S. 9, and 10, of Block S.
Original Plat Addition. Mr. Dahlgron indicated the reason that
that was loft in the original planning, Blocka 22, 23, 8, 9, T, and
S, was that those blocks contained larger older homoo, and he thought
they would be boat protected within the area if it was zoned R-2
and not have apartment buildings all around thoca nicer old home.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS,
1. Sot a public hearing date for propocad rezoning public hearing
request for Mr. Gordon Link to rezone Loto 8, 9, and 10, Block S.
original Plat.
2. Dony cotting the public hearing date for the firot mooting in Juno
to hoar public testimony on the rezoning of Lota 8, 9, and 10,
Block 8, Original Plat Addition.
C. STAFF RECOKKENDATIONt
City staff rocommondo that the City Council review Howard Dahlgrcn's,
Dahlgron c Aocociatoo, City Conoulting Planner, commento for razoning
Loto B, 9, and 30, Block 8, or other blocko to be included with the
rezoning, from R-2 to R-3.

7. Informal Planninq Commission Discussion - Pronosed Variance Request,
Applicant - Phil Ritze. (G.A.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Mr. Phil Ritze, son of Charles Ritze, would like to build a garage
separate from his Dad's building on his Dad's lot just east of the
existing building on his Dad's property. In doing so, Mr. Ritze
is proposing to clean up the area entirely, disposing of existing
scrap iron, equipment, heavy road equipment, used trailers, brush
and debris that currently exist there. In doing so, Mr. Ritze is
proposing to put some existing equipment and the two trucks which
he currently owns and uses in his business under cover or storage
in this cold storage building he is proposing to build. In doing
so, it would be a colored type building which would be harmonious
with the existing housing and tree development there. YX. Ritze's
property is currently existing under the Grandfather Clause. We
do address in our R-1 Zoning that we do not allow accessory buildings
other than the principal use. We have a principal use here with an
existing attached garage to the principal use and the separate
building for Mr. Charles Ritze's equipment. What City staff is
looking for from Planning Commission members is how to address a
situation like this wloro we have an applicant that is willing to
clean up a very blighted area, put up a nice building, and conform
as well as can be done within the R-1 neighborhood and yet still be
allowed to build hiu cold storage building. We have allowed, in the
past, Ruff Auto Parts to build a cold utorage building to put come
of their car parts under cover. Mr. Ritze's request is very similar
only hio is good equipment that ho is intending to put under cover.
What he io intending to diopooe of is the uxicting equipment that
he no longer has use for, scrap metal, bruoh, and debrtu, and clean
up the area entirely and try and blend it an much into the rociduntial
neighborhood au can possibly be done through aosthotic effects of
tho building and the planting of additional chrubbory, trcce, and
so forth.
