PLAIIIURG , ZOIfIRG April 11, 1995 Albertville City Ball 7:30 PM PRESD'f: Chair LeRoy Berning, Commission Members Donatus Vetsch, Howard Larson, Sharon Anderson, and Richard Faris, Zoning Administrator Garrison Hale, City Planner Liz Stockman, and Deputy Zoning Administrator Linda Houghton Chair Berning called the regular meeting of the Planning Commission to order. Larson made a motion to approve the minutes of the March 14, 1995, meeting as presented. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. . Rod Fraser of Fraser Steel is requesting site plan approval for an addition to the existing building. The plan has been reviewed by City staff and consul tants.. Liz Stockman explained that the impervious surface coverage exceeds 30\ but that exception was approved at the time of the original building. Fraser is requesting a 50' driveway access. He explained the reason for the wider access is to eliminate semi-trucks having to back into the loading area and to prevent trucks from "stacking" on 53rd street. stockman stated that if the larger access eliminates the truck stacking on the street, she would have no problem with the wider driveway access. The decision to allow the wider driveway access is at the discretion of the Commdssion. Fraser explained that a revised drainage plan has been submitted to city Engineer Pete Carlson, as requested. Larson made amotion to adopt the Findings of Fact as prepared by the planner's office and to recommend that the City Council approve the site plan for an addition to the Fraser Steel building as proposed with a 50' driveway access, 8' high fencing and screening, and an approved drainage pI an. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. The Commission reviewed the site plan presented for an addition to the Particle Control building. The addition will be for storage, with space for additional grinding equipment. . Liz Stockman explained that the Particle Control business is an existing, non-conforming use. Since the Planning Commission and the City Council are beginning the process of reviewing the City's Comp Plan, Stockman recommends that the site plan be approved at this point, provided that over the next eighteen months, the applicant and the City secure an agreement which resolves the site deficiencies. This gives the City time to consider whether Particle Control is on an acceptable site in accordance with the Zoning Map or it can be made acceptable as an existing use. . . . PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION April 11, 1995 Page 2 of 4 Chair Berning expressed concerns that the City Council could require expensive improvements over the next year that Norm Arens, owner of Particle Control, would find financially impossible. Stockman stated that her concerns are mostly aesthetical. Arens stated that he is willing to make improvements "within reason". Because Arens has not had the opportunity to review the report from the City Planner, Anderson made a motion to table discussion of the site plan so that Arens can review the suggestions in the report. Larson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Arens possible. indicated he would like to proceed as quickly as Anderson and Larson then rescinded the above motion. Anderson made a motion to table further discussion of the Particle Control site plan until the public hearing on the variance request to be conducted later during the meeting. Larson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Chair Berning opened the public hearing to consider a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Omann Brothers to allow outside storage. Stockman pointed out the following outstanding issues: (1) Approval of the CUP does not give approval of an asphalt operation or storage of asphalt materials. (2) The necessity of a filtration device in the holding ponds should be addressed by the City Engineer. (3) Omann's provide to the City a signed ownership and maintenance agreement with Otsego Tool regarding the shared driveway. (4) The landscaping needs to be upgraded somewhat around the outside storage area and should be specified as to type and size. John Schroeder questioned whether a shingle mixture could be used in place of crushed granite in the outside storage area. The Commission advised that the City Engineer would have to give approval on this change. The shared driveway proposed with be blacktopped and a signed ownership and maintenance agreement will be presented for the City Attorney's review. Larson made a motion to close the public hearing. Anderson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Larson made a motion to recommend the City Council approve the site plan for Omann Brothers as presented. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
