NEW BUSINESS
1. The Assistant City Manager indicated City Council has referred
back to the Planning Commission for reconsideration of the rezoning
request from Kenowa Auto Parts. The applicant is requesting to
rezone 3849 Oakes and 2819 Ottawa from RM-2, two-family residential,
to C-3, Commercial Highway.
The applicant John Schuurman from Kenowa Auto Parts asked to
withdraw the rezoning request for 2819 Ottawa, however, they would
like 3849 Oakes rezoned allowing them to add on storage to the
existing building.
Motion by Timmer, seconded by Nicely, to accept into public
record a letter from Joanne Morris, 3860 Oakes. The motion passed.
Motion by Leatherman, seconded by Nicely, recommending City
Council approve the rezoning of 3849 Oakes to C-3, Commercial
Highway. The motion passed.
The City Manager informed the applicant that the Ordinance does
require all parking lots to be paved. He was referring to
improvements that would be proposed for the property at 2819 Ottawa.
2. Discussion on amending the Master Plan designation for
property located on the northwest corner of 44th Street and Wilson
Avenue.
Mr. Maas stated he would like the Master Plan designation changed
in residential and he feels there are viable parties interested in a
residential development on the property.
Mr. Poll would like the north side of 44th Street to remain
residential. He feels a residential designation is best for the
neighborhoods to the north.
Mr. Leatherman is not opposed to a quality residential
development but feels the traffic from an office project would be
less than from a residential project.
Mr. Nicely would like to keep the Master Plan designation as
office.
It was decided to discuss further at the March meeting.
3. Discussion on Zoning Ordinance amendments to sections on wall
signs for mall outparcels, average front yard setbacks, building
height definitions, driveway standards, and site plan review.
OTHER BUSINESS
1. Request from Land & Company to consider classifying a cellular
phone business as an OS-1 use. Planning Commission didn’t feel it
was a permitted use in the OS-1 district but could an amendment to
the Zoning Ordinance allow the business as a special land use. They
asked staff to discuss with the City Attorney.
Motion by Nicely, seconded by Poll to adjourn. The motion passed.
The meeting adjourned at 8:21 p.m.
