Berning opened the public hearing regarding the proposed Shore land Management Ordinance, #1993-2. There were no questions, nor was there any discussion from the attendees. Berning closed the public hearing. Larson made a motion to recommend that the Council approve ORDINANCE #1993-2, SHORE LAND MANAGEMENT OVERLAY DISTRICT as submitted to the Planning Commission in its final draft. Heikes seconded the motion. All voted aye. Berning opened discussion with regard to the proposed Business/Warehouse District and the proposed facade requirement as it relates to metal buildings. Berning showed the property owners who were present exactly what I-l and B-3 areas were under discussion for the possible location of the B/W district (a map indicating same is attached as a permanent part of the minutes). Berning further explained that the purpose of the facade requirement was to enhance the property value and to maintain the integrity of the area. He also explained that the purpose of the B/W district was to provide more flexibility in the current building standards. John Darkenwald. of John-George, Inc., stated that he feels that like businesses should be kept in the same areas and that the B/W district should be restricted to a small area. Barthel stated that the bus garage and the mini-storage facility are examples of the proposed B/W district's intent to recognize the need for that type of building and the intent to keep like businesses in the same area. - . . . PLANNING COMMISSION - 3/9/93 Page 2 Russ Voght of Otsego Tool stated that he felt the City should designate the location of the B/W district as somewhere off the main stream of the City and that he was certainly in favor of promoting higher building standards. Wally Odell of John-George, Inc. questioned if industrial use would be permitted in a B/W district. Berning replied, "No". Berning further explained that the current use of the areas in question would not change, only the building-type requirements, and that the proposed changes would apply to metal buildings only. Judy Roden questioned what the City's future plans are for their area. Berning replied that he was unsure at this point. It is currently zoned A-l and the future use would have to be addressed if and when the Rodens decided to sell their property. John Darkenwald stated that the reasoning behind a Planned Unit Development such as theirs was to provide flexibility in that area. He stated that he has no problem with the proposed facade requirements on metal buildings. Doug Psyk stated that neither he nor Bob Heuring were aware that a portion of their property was zoned B-3. They were under the impression that their property was zoned for residential use. Psyk further questioned if the property owners were noticed or consulted regarding the zoning change in the past. Berning stated that, although he was not on the Planning Commission at the time, he felt certain that the notice of the public hearing had been published. Psyk further stated that he felt that the proposed B/W district should not be located on County Road 19. Russ Voght stated that he felt it important that the City keep 660' all along Co. Rd. 19 as a base line and not allow the B/W district to locate there. Berning stated that he felt the consensus of those in attendance was that there should be facade requirements on metal buildings. but that although the people felt a need for a B/W district. they were currently uncertain as to where that district should be located. The attendees indicated their agreement with that statement. Berning then stated that the City could make a text amendment to the ordinance creating a BjW and an I-1A district, but not necessarily locating those districts at this point in time. Berning stated that he felt it important to hold a public hearing regarding the possible I-1A district since it had been omitted from the public hearing notice for the B/W district. The I-1A district in question is located in the area to the northwest of School Lake and is currently zoned I-1. Berning made a motion to schedule a public hearing regarding the possible creation of an I-1A district. Larson seconded the motion and all voted aye. . PLANNING COMMISSION - 3/9/93 Page 3 Russ Voght addressed the Commission regarding the drainage problem on the properties located on County Road 19 which are owned by both Bernard Roden and Voght. He stated that he has tried on a number of occasions to get the City or the County to take some action, but has had no success. He stated that the ditch has been filled in front of the Ackerman property and that two culverts have evidently been filled also, thus adding to the drainage problem. Berning made a motion to recommend that the City Council direct Thore Meyer to meet with the Rodens and Voght to address the drainage problem on Voght's property and to solve the problem. The motion was seconded by Johnson. All voted aye. Berning made a motion to recommend that the City Council direct Thore Meyer to address the drainage problem behind Andy Savitski's property and to find a timely solution to that problem. The motion was seconded by Johnson. All voted aye. . Wally Odell stated that he would like to clarify the misinformation continually coming from the City Attorney's office regarding a signed Developer's Agreement on their P.U.D. He stated that the agreement was signed on April 27, 1988 and recorded with the County 5 days later. He stated that he would provide the recording information to Ann. Darkenwald stated that he would provide signed copies of that agreement to the Commission. Berning made a recommendation that all Planning Commission and Councilmembers be provided copies of the agreement which will be provided by Darkenwald. Johnson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Larson made a motion to recommend that the Council direct Linda to provide the Planning Commission with monthly budget recap which provides expenditure and revenue figures. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye. The Commission directed Ann to have Licht include wording in the facade requirement ordinance stating that all metal buildings with any wall or walls facing a street must have a minimum of 25% coverage on that wall. Heikes made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 9:20 PM. The motion was seconded by Larson. All voted aye. .
