MINUTES Commissioner Schaumberg made a motion to approve the minutes of the January 6, 2004 meeting. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. Upon a voice vote, motion to approve the minutes was adopted unanimously. OLD BUSINESS FOR CONSIDERATION RESOLUTION #P.C. 173-2003 – Approval of a two lot Certified Survey Map of the Kraussel property located in the NE ¼ of Section 17 (Tax Key No. 2192.976). This item was on the floor and deferred. At previous meeting, Staff was requested to research proposal to determine if intentions were in place regarding a future land division. After reviewing the file, it was confirmed that petitioner had met with the former planning staff and indicated that another lot would be created in the future. This issue of future expansion was not formally brought to the Plan Commission. The original proposal illustrates that the stormwater pipes were capped off to allow for future expansion. The stormwater retention pond is sufficient to handle runoff from Discovery Days and the future addition. The overall site plan does indicate that the parking lot was cut off in order to allow for future access. Interim Director Muenkel and Engineering Staff have met with the prospective owner of the new parcel and have been told that he plans to construct a 3,000 square foot office building which will have the same architecture as Discovery Days.

This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to approve. Alderman Madden seconded. Petitioner proposing a residential/commercial development consisting of nineteen (19) two-family units and one (1) large commercial lot. This proposal consists of an amendment to the 2010 Comprehensive Plan, a rezoning, and a recommendation to vacate a previous Common Council resolution of intent. A Public Hearing was held on January 13, 2004 with no negative comments being received on any of the stated issues. The request for rezoning would be more restrictive than the Resolution of Intent zoning. The amendment to the 2010 Comprehensive Plan would require commercial and medium density for this area. Discussion ensued wherein the majority of the Commission expressed concern that due to all the unknown issues, and the ninety day extension on the moratorium, they would prefer to move slowly considering all options. Majority of Commission expressed concern in approving residential for this area with the possibility of losing commercial development in the Moorland Road corridor and are not in favor of losing valuable commercial property. Mr. Carity addressed the Commission stating that he felt this proposal was a good transition for the area. Alderman Madden agreed and seemed to be in favor of this proposal. Mayor Slocomb stated that within the next 90 days the Economic Development Strategic Plan would need to be adopted; the Commissioner Hulbert made a motion to defer and bring the preliminary plat back for consideration at the first Plan Commission meeting after the adoption of the Economic Development Strategic Plan. Commissioner Michalski seconded. Upon a voice vote, Resolution #P.C. 167-2003 was Deferred with a 5-2 vote.

NEW BUSINESS PLACED ON FILE No action intended for these items. The following will be placed on the agenda as a resolution at a future meeting. DOCKET #P.C. 166-2003 – Approval of a Preliminary Plat of Kenwood Place and recommendation to Common Council to rezone the property to RS-3 / OPD Suburban Residence District with Planned Development Overlay District, located in the SE ¼ of Section 4 (Tax Key Nos. 2180.979 and 2180.979.002 / Hillendale Drive and Lembezeder Drive). MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS Determination of Structure: Building Permit Required or Temporary? Interim Director Muenkel has been approached by resident requesting an amendment to his Building Site and Operation Plan. The request is to construct a large (72 ft. x 100 ft.) salt and gravel storage structure. Planning staff is looking for guidance if this structure would be considered a temporary structure. Previously this resident was given approval to construct a storage building to house salt inside rather than having outside storage. After reviewing the information provided regarding the structure, the Commission suggested that the resident use a tarp to cover the salt until it is hauled off the premises. Further discussion took place regarding another structure that has been brought to staff’s attention. Pictures were included in the plan binders showing two examples that have been constructed. To determine the conformity of a temporary structure, reviews will be done on a case by case basis.
