Petitioner proposing to partition off the western half of the Builder’s Carpet tenant space and install a pet store in this area. A Conditional Use is required as animals will be housed here awaiting to be sold. Staff has the following concerns: type of air handling system to control odors; size of sign on front wall; written description of types of small mammals; reptiles and fish that will be sold; will there be any grooming or medical care provided; are there special requirements for handling of animal waste. Petitioner, Mr. Jerry Hoeft, informed Commission that there will be four ceiling fans and four heppa filters in pet area to eliminate odors. This area will be cleaned on a daily basis. Mr. Hoeft is having a sign made that measures approximately 3 x 10 feet and should be less than the 5% as required. Staff will need height of building to determine if the proposed sign is appropriate. Discussion ensued wherein Builder’s Carpet will also need to reduce their existing signage to comply with ordinance. Mr. Hoeft stated that the mammals he will have in the pet store would be: gerbils, hamsters, hedgehogs and chinchillas. No dogs, however, there is a possibility that cats will be available from time to time. The fish would consist of small tropical types along with goldfish. Reptiles would be chameleons, geckos, frogs and possibly small snakes. Mr. Hoeft stated that no veterinarian will be on site. The only service offered would be to clip bird’s wings. Petitioner was not aware of any special requirement for eliminating animal waste other than bagging and disposing in the dumpster. Discussion ensued wherein there should be uniform signage for the two tenants in this building. Builder’s Carpet will need to come to Plan Commission for sign approval changing the size of existing sign due to loss of store frontage.

Petitioner, Mr. Gene Kramer, addressed Commission and handed out copies of the existing conditions map along with clay extraction restoration plan. Mr. Kramer proceeded to answer some of the concerns by Staff. One concern is trying to keep the highway clean from the clay extraction. Mr. Kramer explained that they have crews cleaning the highway several times during the week. Commission felt that this should be done on a daily basis, perhaps several times a day. Mr. Kramer expressed that the State has given conditions for approval and Emerald Park feels that the Siting Committee will also give their approval. Engineer Zoppa (also a member on the Siting Committee) expressed concerns for future highway closures and stated that the Siting Committee has not made any decisions on this proposal.

RESOLUTION #P.C. 187-98 --Approval of a Mother-In-Law/Family Unit for the Hyke property located at Lot #24 in the Park Estates Subdivision. (north of W204 S8208 Pasadena Drive). Commissioner Schaumberg made a motion to approve. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. Staff had concerns with the design of this mother-in-law unit in that it could easily be converted into a separate living unit resulting in a duplex. The basement is proposed to be partitioned off by a concrete wall with a door. There is a separate door from the mother-in-law unit that provides access to basement. Another bathroom is proposed for some time in the future to be located in the basement. This would increase the living area of the mother-in-law unit to 1,627 square feet. The Ordinance limits the mother-in-law unit to one each for a kitchen, bath, den and bedroom. The Ordinance does not permit dedicated basement areas or second baths. Other concerns were how the utilities would be handled. The Ordinance requires the 11-03-98 PC Minutes Page 4 mother-in-law unit to be dependent upon the main unit for such facilities. Another issue of concern was the foyer has potential for being a lockable passage way from garage to the mother-in-law unit, thus separating the main unit. Petitioner will also need to submit grading plan for the exposed basement. Mr. and Mrs. Hyke addressed Commission and handed out revised layout plans for the main level and basement. Mr. and Mrs. Hyke felt that the revisions made would eliminate all questions and concerns from the Staff. One of the main reasons for the original design of this unit was to keep the family and mother-in-law house pets (cats) separated. Mr. and Mrs. Hyke stated that all utilities would be in the main unit. Doors in foyer would not be lockable. Basement stairs have been changed in the mother-in-law unit to adjoin with main unit stairs. The supporting wall in basement has been revised so there is open space throughout the basement. Commissioner Smith made a motion to amend resolution in the first BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That no independent access from the mother-in- law/family unit….. review prior to application for a building permit.

Brick belt should be along the north side and west side of garage. Site plan needs to be submitted to determine alignment of driveways. Some decorative element on south elevation gable end along with shutters around upper windows on south elevation. Architectural approval from subdivision association required when applying for building permits.

Director Sadowski advised that these two (2) lots received sketch approval through the preliminary plat for North Cape Farms Subdivision. Concerns are that one driveway needed for both properties.
