>> I. That motion does carry. Item 3.4, conditional use permit for 123rd North Street and 318 to 326th North Valley Street for Christy Loose. Mr. Schnowber, >> Madame President, members of the city council,
um before I get into the body of the report, I just want to note two things. We are dealing with one parcel of property and on that parcel of property there are permitted uses and there are
uses that are allowed by move the screen for you by conditional use. And so what we're considering today are the uses that are allowed but as a conditional use.
So the property half block. This is third north. This is fourth north. This is north valley. You can see the railroad tracks here. And this is the
al. Okay. Now, the permitted and the conditional uses are going to be taking place in both buildings that are on the property. So, the action that is being requested
of the council is for you to by resolution approve with conditions a conditional use permit for Christy Loose. She's the applicant to allow the operation of indoor commercial
entertainment recreation land uses. And those land uses would consist of things such as children's play space, parent and children educational classes, and then rentable space for parties and
for gatherings. This is going to take place on property that's zoned I2, which is a general industrial zoning district, and is legally described as lots 8 through 14, block 3 north of
Center Street. Planning Commission at their October 30th meeting unanimously recommended approval of the request with seven conditions. Um, an indoor commercial entertainment recreation is defined as an
establishment providing completely enclosed recreation or entertainment activities. Accessory uses may include the preparation and serving of food or the sale of equipment related to the enclosed uses. Examples of indoor
commercial entertainment businesses include bowling alleys, roller and ice skating rinks, billiard halls, swimming pools, theaters, and similar amusements. Um the anticipated size of the use so
this is a space inside of the two buildings is 17,568 square ft and the use would share that building space with the new basketball
association the just for kicks which is the dance group softball soccer and other sports related activities. Now those are the permitted
uses that I talked about earlier. Um so our zoning ordinance allows them um as a permitted use. Now the um conditional use permit and those uses
that are permitted are not to take place at the same time in the same space. So you get, you know, one use per space. So you can't have
um a soccer um activity taking place with some type of uh children's class or um activity. So um one use um per space.
Um each building will have its own restroom facilities which will be shared by their various uses. The site has a gravel parking lot between the buildings. You can see that um on the photo. And we estimate that there you
can get a total of 54 parking stalls there. There is an additional lot on the north side of the property. So the address of that is 326 North Valley Street. So that is north of the build second building. And we estimate that uh
you can get 35 stalls there. So the total is uh 90 parking stalls between the two parking lots and our code requirement is 71 parking spaces. So
they meet the parking space uh requirement. um this type of the types of businesses that were uh referred we're referring to um would be permitted uses in the B2,
the B3, the B4 zoning districts and also as a conditional use in the um I1 planned industrial zoning district. Um the um loca there are um entry doors
and both of the uh each building has an entry door that will face this interior parking lot area. So there will be easy access um to to the buildings and to the
facilities within those buildings. The seven conditions were as follows. The first is that the applicant property owner will pay the cost to record the cup with the Brown County Recorders Office. The second is that all business
activities will take place within the existing buildings as provided in the application. Number three, uses on the property shall comply with the city of New Restriction Regulations found in section 8.08 08 of
the city code four. The owner will remove from the grounds and surrounding properties any debris or garbage associated or generated by activities on the site. Number five, no exterior storage will be permitted on the
property. Number six, the interior sports recreational uses. Those are the uses that are being allowed by the conditional use permit. will not take place in the same location and at the
same time as the sports and health facility uses. Those are the permitted uses. And then number seven, we have a utility issue to deal with because we um now
have um two property owners. Uh currently this building that is located here has a service that comes from this location on the other side of the the alley
underneath the alley into the building. So we have a different owner here and different owner here. So our regulations do not allow
a a common service serving, you know, two different or serving property that we have uh two different owners. And so the um condition would read that the owner of the property shall terminate
shared water and sewer services with the property located at 1063rd North Street. So that's the one on the other side of the alley. Within 2 years of approval of the cup or the city of New will terminate the
service and install a new sewer and water service and assess the cost back to the properties at 123rd North Street, 318 North Valley Street, and 326 North Valley Street. Uh the legal description
again being lots 8 through 14 block three north of Center Street. That would conclude the U staff report. >> Thank you, Mr. Schnorbrook. Um so my only question is in regards to the what
is the difference between an indoor sports um I'm trying to find it here. Um and then it might be on the previous page here. Um and like the health >> the indoor commercial entertainment
recreation. >> Yes. >> Versus the sports and health facility uses. >> Yes, that's what I was looking for. >> So the sports and health facility uses are more sports related >> whereas the indoor commercial
entertainment recreation is more I would say it's a less intense types of uses. It's uh classes. It's um um you know um activities for children. >> Okay.
>> It um those types of um >> Okay. Um and then I do understand that. And then my follow-up question is, so if they are using the just cuz I want to make sure I understand the indoor sports and recreational or the sports and
health facility, you couldn't have softball and soccer going on at the same time even though they're they could be separate spaces, right? So you can only do one sport at a time while >> one use Yeah. within the uh the uh space
that uh that there will be within the building. Um the building right here will be divided into three spaces. Um and then the building to the north. Uh right now
that's just one big space. >> Okay. But so if they have different areas, you could potentially have basketball practice and a dance class going on at the same time. Okay. I just want to make sure that we're not trying to restrict, >> you know, their ability to do things.
>> There are four activ there are four activity areas at the present time. >> Perfect. >> Basically what it is is if the sports facility is being used as a sports facility, they can't rent it out for a birthday party or some type of leisure
class. But if Jas just for Kicks and Nuba want to do their thing in their space, they can do their thing in this space because that's the permitted use. >> Okay. And that makes sense. >> All right. Good questions. And >> thank you. >> I think this is a fantastic idea. It's a
definite need for the city and I appreciate people like Christy Loose for taking a risk here. So, I'll go ahead and offer a resolution to approve with conditions a conditionally use permit for Christy Loose to allow the operation of an indoor commercial entertainment recreation land use on a property
located in an I2 general industrial zoning district located at 123rd North Street and 318 through 326 North Valley Street and legally described as lots 8 through 14 block 3 north of Center Street. >> Second.
>> Thank you. We have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? Director Jorgensson, please call the role. >> Councelor Christian, >> yes. >> Councelor Warma, >> yes. >> Councelor Schmidz, >> yes. >> Councelor Mack, >> yes. >> President Becker, >> yes. That motion carries. Last item of
business today is item 4.1, report of claims paid. >> President and counselors, I'd like to uh make a motion to accept the list of claims paid in the amount of $4,220,65011. >> Second. >> Thank you. A motion and a second. Any
further discussion? Those in favor signal by saying I. >> I. >> That motion does carry. And with no additional business, today's meeting is adjourned. Thank you.
