2. PC96 -21 KUCZKOWSKI REZONING
Discussion regarding 6 pt. roof pitch. Kuczkowski stated that if the 6 pt.. pitch was
to his advantage then he was in agreement. Others felt this should be in writing to
protect the City should he sell the property for development by others. Nanninga
stated they had discussed meeting certain standards in previous meetings, Kuch had
submitted some drawings, but 1200 square feet is big enough. Spang stated if lots
are 15,000 but we want the Right -of -way to be 80 ft. then we need to make an
adjustment for that. Nanninga stated, If we go with a PUD then we can allow a lot
size of 14,000 and make the setback 30 ft. from new line at ROW. Spang asked
about storm sewer. Nanninga stated there would be an adjustment to the swail.
Kuch stated now everything currently drains toward Van Emmon, it would and
drain to east and front. Nanninga stated there would be no detention established on
these three lots, but when back part is developed it would be included at that time.
This will be a condition of the sale, if sold. Spang felt the creek might be an issue.
Kuch stated the creek flows directly to the River. Jones suggested this be discussed
with Joe Wywrot. Nanninga stated that residential has to be over 2 acres before
requiring detention unlike commercial. Kuch stated two buildings would share a
common drive to street so as not to have too much paved areas. The PUD would
go with the land. Jones asked about sidewalks. Kuch stated that would not be a
problem. Nanninga stated the Subdivision Ordinance applies to this development.
Sticka asked about the front being masonry. Nanninga stated it should be brick or
stone. Spang stated that trees over 12" cannot come down once PUD is signed.
Kuch will be back on May 19th. EDC to finalize
3. ANNEXATION
Jones stated they had two annexations on the agenda, Marla Harkins and Babe
Millen. Kramer was to do a letter, and Bob wants to see the letter first, but it has
not been done. J.T. need to fix landscaping. Bob will push the annexation
agreement papers. Bring this back next month. Remline is still in discussions.
4. CHANGE ZONING ORDINANCE - PARKING SETBACK/COMMERCIAL
This was discussed in March. To change the commercial setback from 30 ft. to 20
ft. This was relative to the Inland Development.
5. DODI DEVELOPMENT
There is nothing further on this item. Nanninga spoke with Dean and they haven't
heard anything. Mayor Bob stated he had a short conversation with George and he
felt the agreement looked ok. There is a question on the 7 year agreement and when
it will start. The agreement states it begins when store opens, it should be effective
upon signing. Jones stated then interest will start then too, if they don't start for 18
months then our figures won't be any good. We need to add a line to adjust for
inflation. Mayor Bob stated he just wants a better chance to recoup his funds. .
Jones stated then we should have a chance to re- examine figures if over 6 months.
Prochaska stated that McHugh is a public road and is a dangerous corner. The
discussion to change this road was started before this development came in. Spang
asked if developer has to build roads. Prochaska stated only residential. We have
done roads for commercial before. These are catalysts for route 47 and the purpose
is to encourage growth. We made deals for Countryside. Weigh this based on what
it will cost vs. what the City will gain. It will keep more money in town and raise
our tax revenue. Mayor Bob stated Inland has already been approached by other
developers regarding this area.
6. MARCH BUILDING REPORT - Approved

9. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

benefits by providing City page. Mayor Bob stated committee needs to look at this
