NEW BUSINESS a) Ahren's Trucking - Site & Building Plan Review Chair opened discussion for the site and building plan review for the Ahren's Trucking. Assistant City Planner Glomski went over the site area. Ahren's Enterprises, LLC, has submitted a request for site and building plan review of a 20,160 square foot office and warehouse building to be located at the southeast corner of 53rd Street and Barthel Industrial Drive. The Zoning map classifies the site as 1-1, Limited Industrial District and the Comprehensive Plan designates this area for future Industrial development. 1 . . . Planning and Zoning Commission UNApproved Minutes August 12,2003 Page 2 of 5 The site is proposed to have two access points off of 53rd Street. Semi-truck will utilize the northern most access at the rear of the site. There is sufficient room for semi-trailer circulation within the northern parking lot. The applicant has provided the amount of stalls required by code for the first phase of this project. All parking stalls meet the dimension requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. It appears that a large area of the northern most parking lot may be used for outdoor storage of semi-trailers. No other outdoor storage use is allowed for this site without approval of a conditional use permit. The applicant has submitted building elevation and floor plans for the building being constructed in phase I of the project. The exterior building material will consist of raked pre-cast wall paneling with pre-finished metal capping, consistent with the requirements of Section 1100.4 of the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant has submitted details showing the design, type and location of proposed lighting. The applicant has not submitted signage plans at this time. Dorenbush made a motion to approve City Council to review the proposed site and building plan. Kocon seconded the motion. All voted aye. The applicant did want to make note the correct spelling of the company name 'Ahren's Enterprises, LLC'. Also updated snow removal plans were sent to the City of Albertville but did not arrive in time for distribution in the planning packet. b) Phil Morris Concept Plan Chair then went on to the next concept plan before the commission. Assistant City Planner Glomski went over the Concept Plan. Chair Leintz asked to clarify exactly where this site is located within the City of Albertville. Boulder Properties, in conjunction with Weber Architects and Planners, have submitted an application for concept plan planned unit development for the Phil Morris property located at the comer ofI-94 and County road 37. The applicant is seeking general concept planned unit development conditional use approval to allow for a commercial development that would include a family restaurant, a convenience store with gas sales, and a hotel or retail development. The concept plan shows the proposed uses situated on the site with a three-lot subdivision. 2 . . . Planning and Zoning Commission UNApproved Minutes August 12, 2003 Page 3 of 5 The purpose of the B-3, Highway commercial District is to provide for and limit the establishment of motor vehicles oriented or dependent high intensity commercial and service activities. The PUD process allows a deviation from the strict provisions of the Zoning Ordinance related to setbacks, height, lot area, lot width, and lot depth. Through the conditional use permit, PUD is intended to encourage innovations in depth. The applicant is requesting a planned unit development to establish integrated commercial site that is reliant on a single access off of County Road 37. The question was asked, "How does the Council feel about an additional gas station/convenience store?" George Daniels with Boulder properties stated that the gas station would be built in conjunction with the store and the rest of the site plan. Dorenbush wanted to clarify about the access to the site in regards to the access for emergency or delivery trucks. Is it sufficient or would there be an additional access? They looked into it and the access would be sufficient. Council Berning commented in regards to the access off of CR 37, would it be in conjunction with the frontage road across CR37 where you can enter Conoco/Heidi's market. Kocon made a motion to approve the concept plan for the Phil Morris - with the recommendations of the staff. Dorenbush seconded the motion. All voted aye. c) Jerry Brecke Concept Plan Chair Leintz commented that the commission briefly looked at this property in a previous meeting. Assistant City Planner Glomski commented that the Applicant is looking at a site in the Albertville city limits. The purpose of this item is to consider a land use and zoning concept submitted by Jerry Brecke, Risk Control, Inc., to re-guide and rezone land located south of CSAH 18 for commercial as opposed to residential use. Mr. Brecke requests consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council of the land uselzoning concept to develop a commercial site for a dental clinic. The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject site and adjacent properties as Low Density Residential land use. The subject site consists of three existing lots of record all fronting on CSAH 18. The site is restricted by its shallow depth (112 feet), ISO-foot lakeshore setback and 50 foot Shoreland setback standard from CSAH 18 right-of-way. About 1/3 of the site is located 3 . . . Planning and Zoning Commission UNApproved Minutes August 12,2003 Page 4 of 5 within the Shoreland setback however, a survey showing the ordinary-high-watermark of swamp lake will be needed to verify the actual area affected by the lakeshore setback. When Mr. Brecke first approached city staff with the proposal to change the land uselzoning to commercial, the initial reaction was to advise him that the land use plan and Zoning Ordinance for the area established a consistent low density residential land use pattern and that recent amendments have resulted in an ample supply of commercial land within the City. Furthermore, the site is located about ~ mile west of the intersection of CSAH 19 and CSAH 18 and separated by Swamp Lake. Dorenbush recommended going forward with the concept with the recommendation of staff. Kocon seconded the recommendation. All voted aye. 4. PUBLIC HEARINGS a) Continue public hearing on Heidi's Market Car Wash Chair opened the public hearing at 8:09 p.m. It was noted that the applicant asked for an extension of the Public Hearing. Dorenbush made a motion to continue the Car Wash to the September 9,2003 meeting. Kocon seconded the motion. All voted aye. b) Zoning Ordinance Amendment - Fences Chair Leintz opened the public hearing at 8:12 p.m. Assistant City Planner Glomski reviewed the proposed setbacks and diagrams for the amended fence ordinance. The purpose of this report is to consider zoning amendments regarding residential fences to the Albertville Zoning Ordinance. The proposed ordinance changes have been brought to the attention of staff through suggestions from the Planning Commission. The following items have been chosen for possible amendment: Rear yard fence specifications. A changed descriptive explanation for the fence height and the area in which rear yard fences are allowed. Front yard fence specifications. This item provides a narrowed description for the fence types permitted within the residential lots. There were two options noted in the memorandum. Option 1 - achieves minor changes to the existing ordinance relating to fences. Option 2 - has an associated diagram that displays comer lots within a residential neighborhood. Closed the public hearing at 8:31 p.m. Dorenbush made a motion to go with Option 1. amending the Fence ordinance. Kocon seconded the motion. 4 . . .
