A motion was made by Bill Burke, seconded by Ed Schaffer to approve those minutes. All voted in favor. 2. Public Hearing - Variance Application - Willie Harris.. Willie Harris, owner of the north one half (4) of Lots 4 6 5 and the north one half (I1) of the vest one half (l1) of Lot 3 - Block 38, was present and made a variance request to be allowed to do limited radio/T.V. repair in his home on that property, which is toned R-2. At present, Mr. Harris proposes only is do this repair work on a part time basis with emphasis being on him to work himself into a retirement occupation, since he is an electronic'@ hobbyist who enjoys doing this type of work part time and would like to have it to do as a full time retirement project. Mr. Harris would also like to do tutoring to electronic studentsat that location in his home. There was no public comment either pro or con regarding this matter at the Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Ilarrio stated that he is presently doing a limited amount of this radio/T.V. repair work in his home and that he does not have the customers bring the work to his home rather, he goes to their homes to do the work and if necessary will bring a T.V., etc• back to hie home and do the work there, thereby, not creating any traffic problem or parking problems. Since the Planning Commission felt that there is already one variance granted for that property for a beauty shop which is operated by Mr. Morrie'a wife, and that in order for Mr. Harris to do this type of business he should be located within a commercial district rather than in a residential area, a motion was made by Burke, seconded by Dowling to deny this variance request. All voted in favor of denying the request. Mr. Harris was informed that he or any other member of the community would have the right to appeal this decision to the City Council and that any appeal must be filed by 5:00 P.M. on March 15th, 1982 in order to be considered a valid appeal.

Approval of the minutes of the meetinq held on March 9th, 1982. 2. Public Hearin - Consideration of a Variance - Rosewood Corpora- tion. As you may be aware of, the Rosewood Corporation recently sold the mall portion of their property along I-94 to another company. In the sale of the property, the vacant land to the west of the existing mall was retained for further development or resale. At this time, the Rosewood Corporation has opted to sell that vacant land west of the mall building and has asked for a vari- ance to be able to put two (2) signs which exceed the size re- quirement for "For Sale" signs onto that property. Monticello ordinances allow signs of only twenty (20) square feet to be placed in a situation such as this in that zoning district. However, the Rosewood Corporation feels that because that property lies adjacent to the highway and that traffic moves past more rapidly than it does on other lots for sale within the community, that they should have larger for sale signs to advertise that property. They are proposing two (2) signs of six (G) foot by twolve (12), or larger, to be erected. Enclosed, you will find a copy of a picture which they have submitted to the City to show the locations of those proposed signs. This property is zoned B-3. APPLICANT. Rosewood Corporation. CONSIDERATION. Consider approving or donying this sign size variance request. RrYERENCF.S.

Public Hearing - Consideration of a Variance - Monticello Country Club. The Monticello Country Club has requested a variance for the de- velopment of an addition storage building of approximately 1600 square feet on their property. This building would be located on the eastern end of the existing parking lot. The reason for the request for this variance is necessary is that the property upon which the Country Club lies is zoned R-1 and therefore, nothing but single family dwellings and their acces- sories can be developed on that property. This would be a pole type building which is proposed. One con- sideration in such an instance might be that the design or the color of the pole type building be something which would be architecturally pleasing to the existing development and also enhance any further residential development in that area. APPLICANT: Monticello Country Club. CONSIDERATION: Consider granting or denying this variance request. REFERENCES: Enclosed plot plan showing the existing buildings and the proposed new Wilding and alno a map depicting the location of the Country Club within the community. 4. Public llearinq - Consideration of Ordinance Amendments. At the February 16th, 1982 Planning Comioeion meeting, two or- dinance amendments were brought under consideration for changes. It was decided at that meeting that a public hearing should be hold at which time consideration ohould W given to amending the ordinances. Oidinanco Section 10-3-2-(F)- (2) in an existing ordinance which Lando to be rather lengthy and wordy, and leaven roan for confunion. Therefore, it woo decided that maylx now words could W given to that ordinance to keep the name meaning but make it more easily understood. As a result, the following ordinance amendment iri proposed: No fence, ouucture, planting, truce or shrubo shall be permitted within the vioibility area of any corner formed by property linen interoocLing with a otroot or by pro- porty lines Intersecting with a railway right-of-way. (Tho visibility area referred to above shall be in the form of a triangle with two oldoo formed by the property linen mentioned and the third aide formed by a otraight lino connecting the two (2) twenty-five (25) foot points on both sides of the corner.

Fences over 6 feet in height shall be treated as structures and will require appropriate permits as required. The next ordinance for consideration is Section 10-3-2 (N) where in item 05 and #6 should be considered as follows: 5.

R17ERENCES: Enclosed agenda item from February 16th, 1982 Planning Commission meeting. - 3 Planning Commission Agenda - 4/13/82 S. Public Hearing - Consideration of a Variance - City of Monticello. The Public Works Department is proposing a new building at the present maintenance building site which would expand their in- terior storage capabilities. As the Public Works Department accumulates more equipment, they are beginning to run out of in— door storage for that equipment , and thereby it is now necessary that some equipment be stored outside. The proposal for this new building would be to provide adequate indoor storage for equip- ment in the future and also equipment which the City now has but must be stored outside. Since this proposed additional building at the maintenance building property is located in an R-1 zone, a variance is necessary for the development of this now building. It is a staff recommendation that the planning Commission consider recommending this variance for a now storage building since it does provide an opportunity to store inside some of the materials and machinery which now set outside, thus improving the esthetic appearance of that neighborhood. However, it is also a staff roc ommondation that an adequate buffer be built along the west aide of that portion of the property upon which the proposed now building is being built. Also, consideration should be given to requiring that no other outdoor storage be allowed on the west, north and south oides of that now proposed building since it is the intent of this new building to provide further adequate in— door storage. CONSIDERATION, Consider approving or denying this variance request. REFERENCES: An enclosed map showing the prop000d development of the new building on tho property in which it will be built, and also a nap depicting the area of the maintenance building'o property.
