Bill Murphy wan preeent to dincuoo hie proposal with Planning Commission memboro to build a 12 -unit apartment building. The apart-saent building would have eight 2-bodroom unite and four 1-bodroom unita . Mr. Murphy is requesting an 830 aq. ft. variance to build eight 2-bodroem unite and four 1 -bedroom unite. But be would comply with the square footage requirements if he built oix 2-bodroom unito and six 1 -bo droom unite. Chairman Ridgeway opened the public tearing for public input. Mr. Dan Doran quoutionod on the parking requiremonto and would like to can that the 12 -unit apartment building conforms to the square footage roquiromontn, therefore, having oix 2-bodroom units and oix 1-bodroom units. Zoning Adminiatrator Andoraon anowored Mr. Doran' a quootion on the parking rcquircrenta toying that a 12 -unit apartmo nt building in to have 24 total parking apaceo with aix of them being oncl000d, which would moan oix garage apacco and 18 open spaces for the on -cite, off-atrcot parking roquiroments. Karen Hannon, neighbor to the prop000d apartment building cite, quoutionod so to the traffic that would come in and go out of the apartment building, noting that the street pact her place is not a through atrcot. They would have to go back out and around tho block to got back acreoa the railroad tracks. She aloo quootionod on City storm cower utilities, if they would be cufficiont Giro to handle increa.-od water runoff. Zoning Administrator Andaraon countered with the City storm cower projoct,whon it wan put in with the curb and guttor,wao co docignod to allow for complete dovolopment of all the Iota in the area. ?..%in lot, being a vacant, unimproved lot, would not need much uurfacu water drainage at thio time bpOcauee moot of it would filter through the oxiating ground. with an apartment building and a hard surfaced parking lot, we aro going to have a significant incroaco in water runoff. All the water that would row off the building and/or parking lot would be so directed to run out onto the City atrcot which would go dam the curbing to otorm cower water catch basin. Mr. Ron Potura, another neighbor around the D Planning Commission Minutes - 5/8/84 affected prospective 12 -unit apartment building, questioned as to the typo of people, the age group of people, Mr. Murphy would rent to, the type of construction, grade and quality of the apartment building. Mr. Peters had no objection to an apartment building in there as long as like the current Ridgemont Apartments, when they wore built, had some problems and now the problems have been fully addressed. It was a very nice neighborhood out there and now the problems have been resolved, and he would like to see plans of the types of construction, grade, and quality of this apartment building. Mr. Murphy showed Mr. Peters and explained briefly to him the type of construction that he is proposing for his 12 -unit apartment building and also answered Mr. Peters question that he would be renting to all different ago groups. Edna Katilinek, another concerned citizen, questioned as to the playing area for the kids in the proposed apartment building. Mr. Murphy countered that there would be a small swingsot put up there for the apartment building if it were rented to couples with children. Motion by Don Cochran, seconded by Ed Schaffer, to deny the variance request of 830 sq. ft. for less than the minimum amount of square footage required for a 12 -unit apartment building. Motion carried unanimously. 4. Public Hearing - Variance Request to Allow no Curbino in Certain Areas of Parking Lot, Applicants - John Plaisted, .lay Morrell. Jay Morrell and John Plaiated were not present at the meeting and had not submitted to Zoning Administrator Anderson their proposed areae where they would like the variance to not have the concrete curbing. Zoning Administrator Anderson tried to point out to Planning Commiosion members what he thought were the areas that they were looking at for no curb Lig, but with no definite plane oubmittod whore they would like no curbing in the parking lot, motion by Joyce Dowlinil, sucundud by Don Cochran, to table the variance request. Motion carried unanimously. 5. Simple Subdivision Request - Tom Chock. Mr. Tom Chock was not present to propoco his aimplo oubdivioion request to Planning Commission members. Zoning Adminiatrator Anderson indicated to Planning Commission membera that the plot plan as presented was pretty much self explanatory as to Mr. Chock's request. Mr. Chock was requesting to oubdivido a residential 66 ft. lot in half with half going to an existing 4-plox and the other half going to another existing lot, 66 x 165 for a proposed now 4-plox building. Commission members quoationed Anderson as to whether the 4-plex would meet the cetbacka and other coning roquiremento. Zoning Administrator Anderson countered that it would. Motion by Don Cochran, seconded by Richard Carlcon, to approve the aimplo oubdivioion requeaL. Motiun carried unanimously. 19-eln Planning Commission Minutes - 5/8/84 G. Information Planning Commission Discussion to Hear a Rezoning Request to Rezone from R-2 to R-3, Applicant - Gordon Link. Mr. Bill Link, son of Gordon Link, was present to present his proposal for rezoning of residential lots from R-2 to R-3. The reason for requesting the rezoning is that he would like to build an 8-plex on these existing vacant lots. Commission members had several questions for Mr. Link, one being how soon he would like to got started with his project should rezoning take place. Mr. Link countered he would like to start construction yet in 1980, with a lot depending on how soon the rezoning would take place if approved. Mr. Link also indicated that the proposed 8-plex would meet all the setback requirements and parking requirements for a proposed 8 -unit apartment building should it be rezoned. Commission members asked Mr. Link if it would be possible for him to wait for another couple of months for the now Comprehensive Plan to be adopted, which would address some possible rezoning which might be his area. Mr. Link questioned as to a definite time table when we thought that this might take place. which is very questionable. It could be as soon as the end of August and it may be at a later date. Commission membo rs felt if Mr. Link could not wait for the rezoning to take place possibly with the new Comprehensive Plan that he should go out and talk with the neighbors that would be affected by his rezoning, not just in the block in which the subject property is but in adjoining blocks adjacent to his proposed apartment building site. if he got a favorable response from the neighbors in the adjoining blocks of the subject property, they would look at having a public hearing after Mr. Link had done hie talking to the affected naighbora. 7. Informal Pldnninq Commission Diacuseion - Proposed Variance, Request, Applicant - Phil Ritze. Mr. Phil Ritze wan present to diacuoa his proposed variance request to allow him to build a 40 It. x 72 ft. atorago garage on his fathor'o property just coat of hie Dad'o existing garage. In doing no, it would be a colored building, which the colors would reflect the adjoining proportico. It would also be landscaped with decorative rock and now troeo would be planted to kind of blend thio now building In with the existing landocaping of the area. Mr. Ritze indicated that all construction machinery that is exioting outoido, old iron, and old ocmi trailara, would be removed and the cite would be entirely cleaned up from what it In right now. Ilia ocmi tractors would be the only thingo stored In the building other than other mieeelloncouo equipment and/or material that Mr. Ritzo hao. The aomi truck tractoro aro the only thinga that would be coming and going out of the now proposed building . There would not be semi trailoro coming and going out of tlmre. The only time the semi trailoro would be there io if uuod to fix on a trailer and would only he there for a temporary period of time. Caamiouion mtxnboro indicated to Mr. Ritzo that one O -P Planning Commission Minutes - 5/8/84 problem with his proposed site is that it is R-1 zoning and it does not allow additional garages within an R-1 area. The proposed site on which Mr. Ritze would like to build his garage is on his Dad's site, which was grandfathered in when the R-1 Comprehensive Plan zoning took place. Commission members felt Mr. Ritze's proposal for his variance request would definitely be an improvement to the area. Commission members would like to get public input into that. Therefore, they asked Mr. Ritze if he would be willing to speak to his neighbors prior to having a public hearing hold for his variance request. Mr. Ritze indicated he would talk with all the neighbors that would be affected in his area and do so before a public hearing would be hold. Commission members asked Zoning Administrator Anderson to check into the legality of the proposed variance with City Attorney Gary Pringle. Anderson countered that he would check with Mr. Pringle and have something back to them before the next Planning Commission meeting. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ITEMS Motion by Joyce Dowling, seconded by Don Cochran to set the next tentatively scheduled Planning Commission meeting date for Tuesday, June 12, 1984, at 700 P.M. Discussion was than hold to determine a tentative data for Planning Commission review of the now Comprehensive Plan. It was agreed by Planning Commiasion members that a tentative data be sot up for Wednesday, May 16, at 6:30 A.M. Motion by Cd Schaffer, seconded by Don Cochran, to adjourn the meeting. The meeting adjourned at 9:16 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Gary J0ua oon Zoning Administrator J Planning Commission Agenda - 6/12/84 3. Public Hearing - Variance Request to Allow Expansion of a Non -conforming Use in an R-1 Zone, Applicant - Phil Ritze. (G.A.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Mr. Ritze is back before you with a public hearing to be held now on his request to allow him to build a storage building/garage to store his two trucks, which he currently uses in his trucking business. Mr. Ritze has been cleaning up the existing site where the proposed new building is to be built, and also he is cleaning up the site adjacent to that which his father, Mr. Charles Ritze, currently owns. In doing so, he hopes to have all of the existing blighted old construction equipment, trailers, trees and debris removed in the upcoming weeks. The proposed building would be set back in along the trees and would be obscured from public vision except in late fall and winter months on the north side and the oast side and the southeast portions of the building, with tho only sides exposed being the west side and the southwest corners of the building. Mr. Ritze's proposed building is to be a pull type construction with colored steel exterior with trees and shrubbery planned to go in the front portion of the building to make it blend as much as possible into the original setting. City staff is currently awaiting the City Attorney's opinion on allowing a non -conforming use to be expanded. City Administrator Thomas Eidem will be meeting with City Attomoy Gary Pringle on Friday afternoon at 400, with the results of their discussion coming back to you in the form of a hand -delivered Planning Commission supplement on Monday morning previous to the Tuesday night Planning Commission meeting. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Approve the Variance Request to allow expansion of a non -conforming use in an R-1 Zone. 2. Deny the Variance Request to allow cxpanoion of a non -conforming use in an R-1 Zone. C. STAFF RECOMMEBATIONi Staff rccoazcndo going along with City Attorney Gary Prirrllo'o decision in regard to granting a Varianco to Mr. Kitzo.

MW TO: Planning Commission Members YRO/a Gary Anderson RE: Phil Ritze's Project DATE: June 11, 1986 Tom Eidem, City Administrator, met with City Attorney Gary Pringle this afternoon. They have came up with probably the only alternative to Mr. Ritze's request. We acknowledge the proposal that Mr. Ritze is proposing. we see no problem with his request to build the building. But according to our ordinance, it simply isn't allowed anywhere within our ordinance and there is no way around it except the following: to have Mr. Ritze's father, Charles Ritze, be the applicant. The variance request would be to build an accessory building in excdon of 1,000 sq. ft. with the information received from Mr. Phil Ritze that the building is to be used for an accessory building only for storage of recreational vehicles, accessory items, and so forth, oven though right now we know that Mr. Ritze intends to put his two semi -tractors in there along with other recreational items. But knowing the information to be provided to us will be for an accesoory building to be used for storage of accessory items, recreational vehicloo, lawn aware, and so forth: therefore, if something d000 come back to us on that, the application for the Variance that was approved would be for the accessory building only for atorago of accessory items. If there is no public opposition at the Planning Commiacion mooting on Tuosday night, it is of the City Attorney's opinion that there would be no problem in granting the Variance with no uppooitlon from the public. If there is some definite oppooition to Mr. Ritxo'e proposal, it would than not be allowed at all. Or if you do fool uncomfortable with the public hearing that was hold for expansion of a non-centorming use, you could call for another public hearing to allow an accossory building to be built in excoos of 1,000 eq. ft. at the next July Planning Commission meeting.

Public Hearing - Conditional Use Request to Build a 4-plex in an R-2 Zone, Applicant - Tom Chock. (G.A.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Mr. Chock is proposing to build a 4-plex in an R-1 Zone. A 4-plex or 4 -unit apartment building is only allowed as a Conditional Use in an R-2 Zone. In an attached site plan, Mr. Chock does meet the setbacks as required by Ordinance in an R-2 Zoning.

Public Hearinq - Conditional Use Request to Allow Outdoor Sales and Outdoor Storage in a B-3 Zone, Applicant - Martie's Farm Service. (G.A.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Mr. Martie, as part of his farm service business, would like to be allowed to do two conditions which are only allowed as conditional uses in a B-3 Zone. The first one is he would like to be allowed outdoor sales. From this, Mr. Martie would like to sell cedar posts. This is currently the only item which he sells which would be sold from the outside of his building. In doing so, if approved, Mr. Martie's location of the proposed cedar posts would be directly to the rear of his building approximately 30-35 feet away from the rear of the building and stacked in a neat pile. Also Mr. Martie would like to be allowed outside liquid storage. From the outside liquid storage, Mr. Martie would like to be allowed to sell liquid protein from an approximate 6,000 gallon tank. The tank size is approximately 8 feet by 16 feet, which will either be a vertical tank, 8 feet wide and 16 feet tall, or a horizontal tank, 8 feet wide and 16 feet long. The placement of this tank would be directly behind the existing building, to the rear of his building. If approved, the tank does not need to have an area to contain a spill. The contents of this storage tank is a liquid fertilizer, which is not harmful to the land if a spillage should occur. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Approve the Conditional Use Request to allow outdoor sales in a B-3 Zone. 2. Approve the Conditional Use Request to allow outdoor storage in a B-3 Zone. 3. Deny the Conditional Use Request to allow outdoor sales in a B-3 Zone. 4. Deny the Conditional Uoe Request to allow outdoor storage in a B-3 Zone. C.

D Planning Commission Agenda - 6/12/84 6. Public Hearinq - Variance Request to Erect a Larger Pylon Siqn than the Maximum Sign Square Footage Allowed, Applicant - First National Bank. (G.A .) A. REFERENCE AMID BACKGROUND: The newly under construction First National Bank building is requesting to be allowed to erect a larger pylon sign than the maximum square footage allowed by Ordinance. Maximum allowed by Ordinance is 50 sq. ft. of sign area. The sign square footage which First National Bank is proposing is 72 sq. ft., which is 22 sq. ft. more than the maximum allowed. In looking at approving or denying the variance, we should look at the actual size of the sign in comparison to the lot on which their proposed building is undergoing construction. They have no trees around there or buildings which would obstruct the view of a 50 sq. ft. pylon sign. In having unobstructed view along Highway 25 running north to south, I see no reason in granting them a variance for a larger sign. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Approve the Variance Request to allow a larger square foot sign, 72 sq.ft., than the maximum 50 sq. ft. allowed for a pylon sign. 2. Deny the Variance Request to be allowed to erect a 72 sq. ft. pylon sign with the maximum allowed by Ordinance being 50 sq. ft. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the Variance Request, sighting no obatruction of view of a 50 sq. ft. pylon sign along Highway 25 running in either direction, north or south. D.

Previously Tabled Variance Request to Allow No Curbing in Certain Areas of Parkin Lot, Applicants - Jay Morrell and John Plaisted. (G.A.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUNDS Mr. Morrell indicated to me that he would be in attendance at the Tuesday night Planning Commission meeting to present his proposal for certain areas of an existing parking lot at the new Mantis's Feed Store business in which he would like a variance to be allowed not to put in curbing in certain areas of the parking lot. Even though a Variance was granted before on the Maus Tire building by a previous Planning Commission, it does not constitute a Variance to be granted here. We should seriously look at the curbing require- ment for it and that Mr. Morrell conform to the Ordinance where curbing is to be installed in certain areas of the parking lot. one exception is that we feel that the curbing should not be installed along our existing gravel surfaced Marvin Road. In talking with Jay on Friday morning, he would not like to have curbing on any portion of the parking lot, citing instances of no curbing installed at the Glass Rut and Monticello -Big Lesko Pat Clinic sites. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONSt 1. Approve the Varianco Roquoat to allow no curbing in certain areao of t)to parking lot. 2. Deny the Variance Roquoet to allow no curbing in certain arcaa of the parking lot.
