clarification of this amendment. Mr. Kirch responded explaining
the intent. Mr. Honl brought up the question of overnight parking
of boats near the setback line. The setback should be
identified. Ald. Simmons was present and questioned the setback
area. Mr. Kirch said the intent was to have the boats where the
trucks are now. Ald. Taube would like to see a walkway next to

would be addressed if there were complaints about the business.

There was more discussion about the paving and it was decided to
have Larry Kirch go to the site to check the area for adequate
drainage. Mr. Honl made a motion to adopt and Mr. Schmidt
seconded to get the resolution on the floor. Ald. Taube

paving in the future. Mr. Schmidt made a motion to defer this

and report back to the Plan Commission at the next meeting and Mr.

MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS:
DISCUSSION -- Mike Kempen's storage of materials, second garage
structure at W143 56785 Tess Corners Drive. Mr. Kirch said the
Plan Commission Minutes of the September 3, 1991, Meeting
reflect that the need to paint the decoraJive block be discussed
after the structure is up. He had inspected the site and found
twice in 1991--first for a 57 sq. ft. size variance for a second
several concerns. Mr. Kempen has been to the Board of Appeals
garage structure and the second time for a 10' height variance.
It was noted that there would be a loft for storage. Chairman
Salentine said the outside storage and operation of a business was
a separate issue. Mr. Honl said a lot of residents were looking
at the size of the structure, which appears to be taller than the
house. It was noted that both the Board of Appeals and Plan
Commission send notices to adjoining property owners advising them
of the applicants' requests. The commissioners decided to have
Mr. Kirch send a follow-up letter and if needed proceed with
enforcement. The painting issued will follow at a later date.
The commissioners were in agreement.
DISCUSSION: Overlook Bay Apartments' amendment to site plan,
removal of brick facade on rear of buildings request. Mr. Beebe,
5
Plan Commission Meeting April 21, 1992
representing Overlook Bay Apartments of Terra Development, said
the reason for the request was to cut cost due to a lumber
increase. He has two options -- one to save the front of the
column as shown on the plans with brick and eliminate the sides of
the columns, and the other to eliminate the brick totally and
replace with vinyl siding. There isn't any brick on the rear of
the adjacent houses and it wouldn't affect the living quarters.
The brick will stay on the clubhouse. After some discussion the
commissioners all agreed the brick should remain on the plans as
originally shown. The residents had been promised a development
as stated at the Plan Commission and public hearings at City Hall,
and we can't lessen our standards now. They have a right to what
was approved. The commissioners were in agreement.
Mr. Kirch brought up the berm and wanted the commissioners input.
Mr. Beebe said they will not change their landscaping plan. They
have stockpiled soil to spread out later and plant trees, shrubs
and grass and 80% of the berm will remain at the height it is
now. The master grading plan is on file at City Hall. Chairman
Salentine noted Ald. Schneider has requested a meeting on April
22, 1992 at City Hall to discuss Lake Forest.
ADJOURNMENT:
Mr. Raimann made a motion to adjourn at 9:35 PM and Mrs. Smith
seconded. Upon a voice vote the motion to adjourn passed
unanimously.
