Attorney Grant showed the plan commission a 1978 County Comprehensive Zoning Map showing present zoning in the area. He stated the county would require that there be no access off Rt. #47 (Rt. #71 only) and that there be buffer zones - trees to be left on the east boundary and a tree line and twenty-five foot buffer zone on the south next to present residential property. A soil and conservation report_ was also submitted. Mr. Langland noted they would have septic field problems in that area. Mr. Grant stated that George Bell had indicated they could not increase the flow of water off the property and that they must provide for on-site water retention. It was noted by plan commission members that the 22 foot paved roadway as per county requirements might be insufficient for truck traffic. Attorney Grant then listed businesses which-will be excluded by restrictive covenants. They include amusement establishments, 'billiard rooms, hotels, taverns, automobile washes, garages, pet shops, restaurants, tractor sales and sale of used passenger automobiles. Mr. Langland noted the rezoning was compatible with the city comprehensive plan and that his only reservation was that no more water be allowed to drain south towards the city. Mr. Langland then moved that the plan commission recommend approval of the petition to rezone from A-1 to B-3 noting that the plan. commission would like assurance that water flowage would not increase to thn south edge of the city where there is an existing water problem. Seconded by Mr. Woodworth. A voice vote was taken with all members voting aye. Motion carried. 79.13 Pre-Application Conference - Fred Doll.man and Doug Dhuse Attorney Jim Wilson, representing the petitioners, submitted a pre-application sketch of the property located at 206 and 208 East Main Street. Mr. Dollman and Mr. Zhuse are proposing the addition of two new lots to be created by taking 160 feet off the back of each lot. Each new lot would then have approximately 16,000 square feet and would meet all minimum requirements for setbacks, side yards, etc. City sewer and water are available. An easement would be necessary for ingress and egress from Main Street. Fifteen feet would betaken from each lot to make a driveway - 2 - May 1979 and for easement. It was noted that Mr. Dhuse's driveway now runs down the proposed easement. Mr. Langland stated that if Colton Street were extended, there could be more property developed in the area. Mr. Feltz stated that according to the zoning map, there may be another access other than the easement they were requesting. Mr. Dollman noted that the properties were substantial and that it could be better utilized. Mr. Feltz said this was related to the conservation of land which should be utilized to the best degree. Mr. Feltz asked if there was a better way of getting an easement. Mr. Dollman responded that he would check with the title company. Mr. Langland stated they would have to ask for a variance because there was no street frontage as required by ordinance. Mr. Feltz stated he agreed with the development of the property but felt there could be an existing easement so that they would not have to request a variance. 79.1-4 John Conover - Approval - Unit 8 - 14 Lots Attorney John Dugan, representing the petitioner, stated that Units 1 through 7 have already been developed and that they now wish to develop Unit 8 presently zoned R-7 except Lots 111 and 112 which are zoned B-3. Mr. Langland inquired if this unit-has changed in any manner from the plat originally submitted. Attorney Dugan responded that the only change was that Lotl13 had been sold to and developed by Thomas Grant. Mr. Mahoney stated he felt the property should be annexed to the city as he felt it was contiguous to the city. Mr. Langland noted that he would have no objections unless there were changes from the original plat. Mrs. Price then moved to accept the final plat of Unit 8 as originally platted with the exception of Lot 113 and was seconded by Mr. Langland. All present voting aye. Motion carried. 79.15 Pre-Application Conference - Sawosko and Whalen - Alteration of PUD Agreement of Brian Mulhern Property. Mr. ',Sawosko stated that an alteration in a PUD agreement has to come before the plan commission and city council and that he and Mr. Whalen are planning to purchase Lot 3 from Mr. Mulhern. . The site is now_ zoned-for 32-units. He showed preliminary drawings for Lot 3 with a proposal for three separate condominium buildings{with two parking spaces per unit. There will be one_ S_ unit two-story building and two 12 unit three story buildings with a total of 64 parking spaces. Each 1200 square foot unit consisting of 2 bedrooms, -2 baths9 kitchen, dining and living rooms and balcony will run through the building. There will be four or six units off an entry courtyard.. They are proposing a trussed roof for greater insulation. He said there would be no density change from the original PUD but they would be changing the number of buildings and the height of the buildings. Mr. Feltz said he thought-2 parking spaces per unit was inadequate and also questioned how fire and emergency vehicles could get to the rear of the last building. Mr. Mahoney said he had concerns-for other area residents who must face parking garages. It was noted that an amendment to the.PUD agreement would be needed regarding the number of buildings and the change from apartments to condominiums and that a variance would be needed regarding heigrht. Mr. Mahoney stated that the 25 foot height listed in the PUD agreement was not a typographical error but was because of fire department restrictions. It was again noted that according to the present plan layout, the fire department could not respond to a call at the far apartment of the last unit. - 3 - May 1979 Mr. Mahoney noted the main objections regarded the garages and the problem of the fire department. He also suggested placement of berms within the property. Mr. Beach noted the fire department does not have fire apparatus for three story buildings. It was suggested the developers consult with fire department officials regarding the above problems. It was also suggested that 10 or 12 garage units might be more satisfactory than 16 as previously proposed by the developers. It was agreed by all plan commission members to continue the 7:30 P.M. meeting time throughout the summer months. Mr. Dollman moved to adjourn the meeting and was seconded by Mr. Woodworth. All present voting aye. Meeting adjourned.
