OLD BUSINESS RESOLUTION PC 056-2021 Approval of an Annual Review for Frey Auto located at S106 W16301 Loomis Road / Tax Key No. 2293.996.002. No Discussion / Action NEW BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION RESOLUTION PC 005-2022 Recommendation to Common Council to amend the Zoning Map for the property located at W160 S6369-6381 Commerce Drive / Tax Key No. 2169.993.013. Planner Trzebiatowski provided an overview of zoning amendment from BP-3 and BP-2 to a Planned Development district based on the BP-3 district. The purpose of the rezoning is to facilitate a land split being proposed. The northern portion of the lot that is underutilized is proposed to be split from the building on the southern portion of the lot, which will be combined with the property to the east where the Gingerbread House is located. It was determined that this property has an open space requirement being in the BP-3 District. The commercial districts and industrial districts throughout the rest of the City do not have an open space requirement, which makes the BP, or business park districts different than all of the other commercial and industrial districts. The petitioner is asking for a 20 percent open space to allow for the land division, which is still more than all of the other commercial and industrial districts. Commissioner Oliver asked with the rezoning will the lot be developed or sold off. Planner Trzebiatowski said that the next agenda item is a Certified Survey Map (CSM) to split the land. As part of the Public Hearing the Council identified a condition of approval that the rezoning be contingent upon the land division. Commissioner Oliver asked about ingress/egress onto College Avenue. Planner Trzebiatowski noted that as part of the CSM review the county was contacted and they have issues with this site having its own ingress/egress due to the proximity of the Moorland Road intersection. The County understands this new lot being connected to the adjacent lot so they would be in favor of combining access, closing the existing access and moving the ingress/egress further from the intersection. Alderman Madden made a motion to approve Resolution PC 005-2022. Commissioner Graf seconded. Motion to approve passed unanimously. RESOLUTION PC 006-2022 Approval of a two -lot Certified Survey Map located at W160 S6369-6381 Commerce Drive / Tax Key No. 2169.993.013. Planner Trzebiatowski further explained the land division. The split is contingent upon the rezoning from the Council being approved. Any further development will require an approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan Amendment and one of the conditions will be that this lot must be combined with the Gingerbread House due to the access points. Commissioner Bartlett made a motion to approve Resolution PC 006-2022. Commissioner Oliver seconded. Motion to approve passed unanimously. RESOLUTION PC 007-2022 Approval of a four -lot Certified Survey Map for James Baseler located on vacant farmland along the south side of Henneberry Drive / Tax Key No. 2239.997. Planner Trzebiatowski explained that 007, 008 and 009 are all similar and related with the second and third CSM's being redivisions of new lots. All of the lots meet the acreage of the Agriculture Zoning with the proper width. A new improved and dedicated road is proposed along with storm water management that is currently being reviewed with the Engineering Department Alderman Madden made a motion to approve Resolution PC 007-2022. Commissioner Oliver seconded. Due to the relationship between Resolutions PC 007-2022, 008-2022 and 009-2022, Alderman Madden made a motion to approve Resolutions PC 007-2022, PC 008-2022 and PC 009-2022. Commissioner Buckmaster seconded. Motion to amend passed unanimously. Motion to approve Resolutions PC 007-2022, PC 008-2022 and PC 009-2022 as amended passed unanimously RESOLUTION PC 008-2022 Approval of a second four -lot Certified Survey Map for James Baseler located on vacant farmland along the south side of Henneberry Drive / Tax Key No. 2239.997. Approved via amended Resolution PC 007-2022 RESOLUTION PC 009-2022 Approval of a two -lot Certified Survey Map for James Baseler located on vacant farmland along the south side of Henneberry Drive / Tax Key No. 2239.997. Approved via amended Resolution PC 007-2022 RESOLUTION PC 010-2022 Approval of a Building, Site and Operation Plan Amendment for Flores Automation located at S84 W 18693 Enterprise Drive / Tax Key No. 2223.994.013. Planner Trzebiatowski provided a description of the 11,000 square foot addition to the south side of the existing building. The building will be 100 percent masonry with everything matching the existing building. As for the parking, the parking area will be moved further from the property line. The design guide calls for landscape islands for every ten parking stalls. Therefore, the resolution has been drafted to include two landscape islands. Additionally, when parking areas are new or replaced, the Plan Commission typically looks for vertical face curb and gutter, which is also included in the resolution. Finally, staff noticed that there is no refuse enclosure on the site and the storage containers cannot be stored outside. If the intent is to store the containers indoors and only bring outside for pickup that is fine, but if they will be outside a refuse enclosure is required. Commissioner Bartlett is abstaining, but speaking for the owner, and they will come back for staff approval of a dumpster enclosure. They do not have any issues with the landscape islands or the vertical face curb and gutter. Alderman Madden made a motion to approve Resolution PC 010-2022. Commissioner Gazzana seconded. Motion to approve passed unanimously with Commissioner Bartlett abstaining. RESOLUTION PC 012-2022 Approval of a revised Preliminary Plat for the Kirkland Crossing Subdivision located between Martin Drive and College Avenue / Tax Key Nos. 2173.997, 2173.998, 2170.991 2176.999, 2173.995, 2173.996.001 and 2173.995.001. Planner Trzebiatowski further described the revised preliminary plat submitted by Ryan Janssen as being the original Kirkland Crossing plat with the additional lands north along Martin Drive being added to this development. The new plan includes 139 lots with similar access to Martin Drive and College Avenue. As for the Planned Development, because there were two additional lots created after combining the two developments into one, staff and the City Attorney did not feel that a zoning amendment would be needed as the plat meets the intent of the Planned Development and is not modifying the lot size, width or open space requirements. One issue that came up during this review is the phasing as shown by the petitioner. Phasing is typically discussed more during construction review and is very fluid at this point. The phasing is important in that it would determine how many residential lots would be accessing the future development through a single point. The resolution is drafted so that the access onto College Avenue would be required as part of the phase 2 of the project. However, after additional discussions with the City Engineer and the developer it may be best to, and staff recommends amending the resolution to add that only thirty lots would be allowed on a single access point. Any subsequent lots would require a second access point from the subdivision onto College Avenue. Commissioner Bartlett asked about the Park and Rec Plan and the trail system what the status is as it relates to this development. Planner Trzebiatowski noted that the Park and Open Space Plan, the Comprehensive Plan and the City are not looking to add any additional park land in this area. The development also shows a path or connection from the main north/south road to Park Arthur. As for the trails on Martin or College, there is nothing new. The Mayor noted that there are two trails in a couple areas that may go to Park and Recreation prior to capital but likely will not go any further due to the expense when the trail project is not in conjunction with a road project. Commissioner Bartlett just wanted to make sure the City is not boxed in for the next 20 to 30 years if a new trail would be put in and it appears as though something is delineated along College Avenue on the preliminary plat. Planner Trzebiatowski noted that the line being discussed is a rear setback line but there is a line for the right-of-way being fifty feet from the centerline of the road that is being dedicated to the City as required with new land divisions. Being a two-lane road with a 100-foot right-of-way there should be ample space for a trail. Commissioner Bartlett then followed up whether the County reviews the plat. Planner Trzebiatowski noted that the County does look at the plat for access and dedication. Commissioner Bartlett asked for some clarification on the phasing. Planner Trzebiatowski noted that the eastern part is most marketable. The petitioner Ryan Janssen then re -iterated that the eastern portion is where they want to get to right away and the bulk of their calls are related to the eastern portion of the project. Commissioner Bartlett then asked about the landscape buffer along the eastern edge that was previously discussed. Planner Trzebiatowski noted that any conditions from the past approval would carry over to this approval. These specific details will be noted on the construction plans and final plat. Commissioner Bartlett just does not want this to be forgotten about and sometimes it feels as though the City is imposing on the developer at final plat and would rather keep everything out in the open. Commissioner Graf asked about the logic with roadwork as far as the number of lots. The access to Martin is OK but what happens to the rest of the roads with the phasing. Planner Trzebiatowski noted that they can only do so much at once while trying to recoup some costs so the lot count allows flexibility in the phasing, but still limits the traffic on a single access point. Commissioner Graf then confirmed that phase one will be 30 lots. Alderman Madden made a motion to approve Resolution PC 012-2022. Commissioner Graf seconded. Motion to approve passed unanimously. Commissioner Buckmaster made a motion to create a thirty -lot count to initiate a second access onto College Avenue. Alderman Madden seconded. Motion to amend Resolution PC 012-2022 passed unanimously. Motion to approve Resolution PC 012-2022 as amended then passed unanimously. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS Discussion regarding April Plan Commission date conflict with elections. Mayor Petfalski noted that the April Plan Commission meeting falls on the same night as elections so we are looking to schedule a new date. Planner Trzebiatowski suggested scheduling the April Plan Commission on Thursday, April 7'h ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Buckmaster made a motion to adjourn. Commissioner Gazzana seconded. Motion to adjourn passed unanimously. Respectfully Submitted, Aaron Fahl, AICP Planner
