PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA
APRIL 28, 1992
RE:
Points for consideration prior to the meeting on April 28th:
1. Public Hearing regarding amendments to ordinances: These
proposed amendments have been in your packets for the past two
meetings, although they have not been addressed, you should be
familiar with them. A decision should be reached regarding
these amendments and a recommendation made to the Council.
2.
Dennis Fehn: Enclosed is the letter from Mike Couri, per your
request. Please review.
3. Andy Savitski: His final site plan is enclosed. Please
review prior to the meeting and let me know if you have any
problems with it. Thore Meyer has reviewed and his written
comments are enclosed. Kevin and I met with Andy this morning
and he will address the rest of the landscaping around his
building, the type and size of the trees to be used, and any
green areas. He will also address handicapped parking and the
location and screening of the garbage dumpsters. He will have
this information included on his site plan for the meeting on
Tuesday night.
4. Amendment to Subdivision Ordinance: This was not addressed at
the last meeting either. The purpose of this amendment is to
make the subdivision process easier in the future. A public
hearing is scheduled for this for May 12, 1992.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call.

RE: Dennis Fohn Remoning Requ8at.
Dear Sirs:
.
Our off ice has been asked to suggest. a OOUrse of action
rQgardinq Dennis' Fehn's request to oonotruct addit.ionCll eomrnercio.l
st.ructures On land current.ly zoned R-3. Mr. Fohn's current uee of
the property as storage for oonctruction equipment Clnd material is
a legal, pre-existing non-oonforming uec. ~hi3 st.at.us allows him
to continue storing construotion oquipment and mat.criQl on the lot
ind9finitely, but does not allow him to con::3truct. ::addit.ional
buildings in furtheranoe of tho non-conformin9 use. If the non-
conforming uee io over di~continued, the land will lose its pre-
existing use status and will only be able to be used for those uses
provided under R-3 zoning.
Our first recommended course of action would be to rezone the
property to 1-2 olassification, which would permit storage of
c::onst:ruction equipment and mnte1.-ial (lIkluilding mt1t.:.er .i.C21::>
product.ion", sec-eion 4700. ~ (c) ) . Whi le the comp.r~hen:;sl ve plan
calls for Fehn's property to be developed as residen~it11 property,
Pehn's proximity to the Industrial P~rk lends credence to the idea
that. t.his property could be zoned I-2.
.
However, the Zoning Ordinance rGquireo an 1-2 zoning district
to be a minimum of five acres in land area (Section 4700.8). Fehn
believes that his property is between four and four and one-half
aores. This problem oan be overcome if: 1) Pehn has his property
surveyed, and the pl-operty, plus lh~ ~rc~ of the road adjoining his
propert.y are at least five acres in total (this would allow for the
establishmemt. of a five ac;r.-e districl, cslthough l"ehn's property
itself may be less than five acres), or 2) C2mend the zoning

ordinanoe, seotion 4700.8, to reduoe the five acre requirement to
a lesser amount (e.g. 2.5 acres, 3 acres, etc.). Once either of
these events ocour, the property oan he rezoned 1-2 through the
normal rezonin9 procedure.
A seoond alternative, creation of a Planned unit Development
("PUO"), oan also be pursued. However, because the prooedure for
establishing a pun is very detailed and oomplex, the cost of
establishing suoh a district will moet likely be prohibitive.
If I can be of further assistanoe, plea~e feel free to oontact
me.

Re: Andy Savitski Building
Dear Planning Commission Members:
We have reviewed the si te plan as presented by Mr. Andy Sav1 tski
for his proposed building in the Sunrise Commercial Park and would
like to comment as follows:
.
1) Building elevation: Floor elevation of 956.0 is 18" above the
proposed design street elevation, as received from our office,
at the center of the building, This results in a 12" and 24"
ri se at the west and east ends respecti vely, Proposed grades for
the curb and bituminous surfaCing at the west end of the parking
lot are greater than the design standard minimums (0.5% for
curbs and J..O% for bituminous surfacing), therefore not creating
any drainage problems. To r'a:l.se the bU11ding any higher would
result in greater than normal slopes at the east end driveway
and parking area.
2) Rear drainage is dir'ected along the bi turninous drive lane/dra:l.n-
age swale to discharge into the existing railroad ditch. Rip rap
is proposed on the embankment to control erosion. Some concern
has been expressed by City Council as to the condition of the
railroad ditch and culvert crossing under the railroad.
Prelimi,nary comments have been expressed as to the need of
improvements to this drainage way. If this should be the intent
of the City Council, we would suggest the installation of the
rip rap be held off until after the ditch improvements would be
made.
3) All open
concret e ,
bui Id:l.ng .
bo u lev ard
as not to
ar'eas not proposed to be covered wi th bi tum1nous or
need to be sodded or seeded upon completion of the
Landscapj ng trees (four) have been proposed in the
area, the location of which needs to be coordinated so
in terfere with the var:l,ous ut i 1i ties.

4) The area west of the building is not identified, except to
provide fill as needed to assure drainage to the swale or
street. No surface cover is noted; however, this area should be
seeded as a minimum r'eqtlirement to control erosion until any
further development occurs.
5) A guard rail should be constructed along the top of the rip rap
embankment as a safety precaution for t.he rear building drive
lane.
We would recommend the approval of this site plan with the notes as
suggested above. If you have any further questions, please feel
free to contact me.
Sincerely.
