sections of chapter 20 of the city niswa court of ordinances Chris good evening everybody thanks for the invite back this evening it's great to see everybody it was interesting I was putting forth some notes about to try to summarize some of the changes that we're making and when you're in the middle of it you don't think you're doing a whole lot and then you look at your notes and you realize we're making quite a few changes here so uh I know we went through at the last meeting I just want to kind of run through it quick I got a summary here and you don't know if we want to try to keep up or not but just a just a reminder for maybe for the public to be aware of just some of the changes that we proposed um so if you look at section 20- 81 the plan development District it's just the definition of that is being cleaned up as part of the ordinance um if we go to section 20- 82 which is the land use chart um I don't think I'll go through all those tonight but it's just a reminder that we went through and clarified all the different uses allowed in the in the city based on the zoning district and then made sure there's a definition for fre of those uses so that um we know exactly what it is that um we're looking to uh to allow the different uses in the in the city so we have definitions for that uh we made changes to section 2085 which would be to reduce aaable area from 27,000 square feet to 20,000 for uh on the GD Lake and then in section 20- 86 we um added the plan development District we needed to add that as a as a zoning District so we needed to do that for lot sizes we did that in sections 2089 90 91 92 and 93 to just clarify what the setbacks are for structures septic system setbacks um and other setbacks as well as Building height and then make sure that we had standards in the uh PDD district for accessory structure size as well and then we also added uh section 20 amended 2097 to add the PDD to the impervious coverage table as well uh the big change that we made in the ordinance starts in article three related to uh um the flood plane standards and this is in section 20- 98 20-23 I won't go into any details if unless you would like for me to answer potentially any questions that came up with that but that's just really getting the city meeting the the minimum standards that set out the DNR to have a flood plane ordinance for the city if you look in section 20-154 uh we made some standard changes to the lyen lake shore residential district as far as setbacks um there was some um and and to that and so we're going to rely on the general setbacks the ordinance and not and have its own setbacks for that District itself um if we look at section uh 20-35 this is where we had to get in and clarify uh Shoreland versus non shorland the planned development District this is one that the DNR was had made very clear that we need to make sure that the minimum Shoreland standards for any uses in the planned development District follow the state Shoreland rules and that's what we did in 305 um if you go down to section 20-3 d5- c it was just simply a cleanup typo in the Pud District uh we just I had put the wrong number in the wrong spot 20- 392 is the urban residential PUD um we just want to clarify that was allowed in the sh or Lindon Lake Shore so we removed that it was not allowed in that District um clarification we needed to make in section 20444 number one is what is considered uh buildable area for Land Development when it comes to subdivisions we did delete the provision that talks about to 12% for the repairing lots and 20% for non peran so the land that is excluded is now is just Wetlands Bluffs RightWay and Road easan it doesn't depend on the slope of the lot and then if we stay in 20444 number seven um it just clarifies and gives some discrepancy to staff to help um get a better layout of lot lines and how they should be laid out when you have subdivisions um section 2044 number 8 also talks about New Lots in a 33 foot easement or dedication to a designated Road right away to clarify that the any new lot has to have access to a to a road um so people can get back to the parcel section 20- 480 this is your offset advertising section uh we just wanted to clarify that offset Advertising Signs were not allowed in the plan development District um and then a lot of what we did it was interesting as I went back and looked at it um we made a lot of changes to definitions where we added um we added a bunch of definitions we modified a few we had to delete a couple um and so if you look at the number of definitions that we actually modified and changed with this I think that's one of the bigger um parts of the ordinance that I think um you should really be proud of because now you know it seems silly but to know what words mean uh makes a difference when you're trying to help people understand how to follow the city code and the City Rules a lot of the definitions were um to define the uses in the land use table as well as the definitions required by DNR for that flood plane District um Stephen I think you have gotten letters from the DNR for both a flood plane and for the strolling ordinance that you've got a a conditional letter of approval from the DNR fore ordinance so right now you do have a compliant ordinance that follows the 6120 as far as Shoreland and with the flood plane there was one that I did want to point out one definition if I can find it can you go to the definition Stephen of buildable area I think it was yeah let's let's could you just pull that up real quick down towards the end uh because we had for we had made a a motion trying to so you'll see in this that um okay it's good we did take out the floodway good I I was the the the draft had shown that the floodway was still in there we don't want the floodway to be counted as buildable area we don't want folks building in the floodway within the city so um the next so the next steps will be to commence the public hearing the D has got their checklist um all once that information's once the public hearing has been held um city council has a final decision authority to approve or deny the ordinance as been submitted and then um once that happens the the city will receive final approval letters from the DNR related to both um I know I've been talking to Stephen a little bit and it sounds like there might be some desire to to look back into section 20 again maybe related to riap there are a couple Provisions in RI WP that we did we would need to modify but I think we could do it at that point and I don't think we need to you know address it at this point the DNR was more than um more than content with knowing what's going to be looked at down the road as we do some more ordinance uh revisions in the future so I'd be happy to answer any questions unless you if you have any for me was the 12% slope was that in there that was stri in here that was stricken y the 12% for repairing and 20% proun appearing was both removed for buildable areas so okay so that's removed now yep D is perfectly okay with that yep um did we keep the maximum auxiliary structure size at 2 200 square F feet Yes y currently yes is that something when it gets looked at down the road do we have to go through the whole process or can we just change that one we would have to go through a public hearing anytime you update the public hearing process it depends on how that affects the shore on site of DNR has to get involved or not so I'll have that list for future I'm curious what the DNR was wondering about the rip wrap down the road it's there's a couple standards in it where the the they've got two standards one is that it can't be any higher than 3 feet above the ohw and it can't be more than 10 foot landward into the lake and so that those two Provisions weren't aren't part of the ordinance right now and so they would just want those added in it's just the it's standard um DNR language for RI wrap okay so nothing nothing of substance but uh just was something that they realized they I did speak with a hydrologist Jake fre and he had mentioned that when he did his the last last last review of it he he noticed that but they weren't too worried about it knowing it we're going to circle back and take a look at that standard to again down the road all right any other questions comments is there any from the audience that would like to make a public comment all right hearing none I'll close public comments there's no other comment I'll entertain a motion the motion is just a mo to recommend to the city council right so I'll make a motion to make the changes uh to the amendment city council for approval second all approved I all motion carries anything else for me I appreciate opportunity I've enjoyed this process working with through the last uh three years and I really think that from a city perspective you should be proud of the work you've done because uh you've got a compliant ordinance um you've got some great water resources and I think you're doing your part to to uh to keep those resources in great shape in the city so I appreciate it anything else I can help you down the road just uh let me know is there um applications for cannabis related in Crowing County no there hasn't and I'm glad actually that's a good question because I actually re I'm on this list serve uh that's probably an old way of saying on the email list but from the office of cannabis management and it sounds like they're starting the um or people going to actually submit their application I think it's like February 18th and it goes until like March 14th something like that and then once they go through that they proc those applications then um they'll go to a lottery and then there because there will be too many yeah request for number of license or you know going be available so it it I was actually just talking to our department head today Gary Griffin I said it's getting real I mean it's it's coming know it's coming sooner than we think so we're we're ready though City's got an ordinance and so County does as well so I think well well positioned I think to handle any of that come this way good thanks all right thanks guys thank you Chris next item is conditional use permit 00225 to obtain a conditional use permit to open a new business commercial retail just juice applicant shamie Nelson within the central business zoning District the subject property is located at 5380 Marill Avenue P ID 2811 0652 owner Steve and Tera arrel arel okay um is a Jamie or who's gonna come and okay if you could come you can either do the podium or the desk and state your name hi I'm Jamie Nelson Jamie Steve your staff report sure so the applicant is coming here for conditional use permit for a retail store retail store commmercial kitchen and event space in the central business district um analysis going into the property folder uh there wasn't a previous conditional use permit of record for uh the pre-existing use as it predated our ordinances um cup would be required for our current I put two uses in here um because our land use table 20-01 was had some changing definitions the closest current would be retail store service and or like restaurant with the commercial kitchen aspect new definition more closely matches a business of a commercial SL retail nature um the proposed business will be served by city sewer currently is served by city sewer and there's no new construction involved in this proposal all the changes would be internal re Renovations and are um not regulated by land use permitting um but the condition use permit is this the item of it's being sought here parking that would be utilized for this would be proposed in the existing on street parking um Department of Agriculture seems to be the licensing Authority at the state of Minnesota for the proposed use with the commercial kitchen um and and uh wall signage should be in compliance with table 20-59 point2 for Central business district sign standards subject to permitting requirements um that's all I have for my staff report analysis um move on to findings and facts if you want me to read them or if you want to review them I think we read it we're probably good on that end um do you want to give us a brief um summary of the application yeah yeah um so so um okay so my name is Jimmy Nelson I'm excited to share my vision for A New Wellness market and event space here in downtown niswa um as more people seek healthier Lifestyles and community-driven experiences I see an opportunity to bring something truly special to our town that doesn't exist currently Wellness tourism is one of the fastest growing Industries with Travelers seeking destinations that offer Health relaxation and Rejuvenation the global Wellness tourism Market is expected to reach over $1 trillion in the coming years and I believe Nissa is a perfectly positioned to be a part of this movement in addition to the wellness market and event space I plan to add a commercial kitchen in the current building so I can offer fresh healthy grab andg go options this will include cold pressed juices smoothies sandwiches wraps and salads making it easier for residents and visitors to choose nourishing high quality foods on the gulf by providing these options we cater to the increasing demand for convenient healthy meals while supporting local farmers and suppliers um this was already known as a destination for outdoor recreation and relaxation and this new Wellness market and event space will complement that by offering fresh locally sourced products and hosting events that promote well-being by investing in Wellness tourism now we can attract new visitors support local businesses and position niswa as a leading health and wellness destination in the region thank you thank you do we have any questions for the applicant no Gary do you have any questions um this your plans are showing event space um doesn't look like it's a real large room what what type of events would you are you talking about yeah great question so um like Fitness classes Wellness workshops um maybe yoga lotes things like that okay okay any other questions what are the hours going to be um we're thinking in the summertime like at 8 to 4 and then in the winter a little bit more in the mall 8 to2 that kind of situation maybe some early morning stuff on the weekends couple late night classes like late night being like six six o'clock maybe seven o'clock start but nothing look late late okay oops Yeah I look at those so uh one is that there's no new construction proposed um two we would like to have evidence of your licensure from the state for the Department of Agriculture prior to commencing operation um and all permits needed by the federal or state agencies must be um observed by the applicant uh detailed Plumbing plans and grease trap calculations also need to be submitted to the city engineer and public work prior to pressurizing water in that proposed commercial kitchen uh water meter if not already installed needs to be obtained and installed um and inspected prior to pressurizing water and updated estimation of water use by this facility must be reviewed by public works it actually looks like this building in the past used to be a a laundromat called Nash and they had 5.7 ercs we're not projecting that that's going to cause an increase in water use at this point so I think that that condition has been met by Tom blammer review and comment which is attached to this packet um and then all ERC charges shall be paid when due without allowance for delinquency so I have a couple extra spots in case anyone had any other recommended conditions but I think that sufficiently covers from my aspect just Clarity for the record number four yep um um the city has no jurisdiction over the state plumbing code or the inspector and so I question why the city would have that um we can't rule on any of that plumbing stuff I think the grease trap was the more important element of that for the um sanitary sewer in a in AIT falls under the state plumbing code not the city well it could be worded different but we do require greas PRS correct yeah and so I guess I would reward it different that you just get a copy of the state plumbing code so so that way the applicant knows that they actually have to reach out to the state instead of the city that's how that should read because once again they're the jurisdiction body on that not the city what would your proposed language be again did youate that they just provide a copy of the uh State Plumbing um approved drawings after they're submitted to the city but there's there's really nothing for the city to inspect or rule on with that because that's all done by state we we don't have jurisdiction over that when we have to submit an application for the resort like if I'm doing something with a plumbing code and it's with the Department of Labor and Industry we have I have to provide documentation to them that a master plumber did it and there's some kind of documentation for the city I don't know know if it's if that's something different what city though uh Brainard yeah but they have their well technically it' be the growing County yeah but it it goes through the state it does yeah but I still had to provide document evidence to them that it was sure saying that it should that it should read that just just like that that the applicants know and so that's always been a great area in this town we got to let the applicants know that they actually file this with the state and then just send us a copy versus you know um submit it for us to review there's really nothing for the city to review other than they have it from the state that'd be the only review item action there so just going forward it's it's caught a lot of people on this Plumbing thing in town on on this line item so so how do we and I don't know this but how do we ensure that there's actually a grease trap that gets added if we don't put it as a condition um add that a grease trap must be could potentially add that underneath condition five for the water meter maybe and take it on that the water meter and grease trap should be installed that's all on the state code and stuff you know something that you know Public Works should talk with John you know the local inspector on but they're the ones that there's the ones that rule on that so you know the city the city Only hooks up you know her rules on the um on the Wastewater end once it connects to the street but that's that's the jurisdiction body but you know that's the cut off so that's correct I mean the plumbing is reviewed and inspected by Department of Labor and Industry um the city has a sewer ordinance that requires certain commercial establishments to have things that protect the investment of the city in a city sewer things like GRE trps so uh Tom would be reviewing it from only that standpoint so just to back up what you're saying that's correct right yeah so I I would just think rewarding it a little bit differently so I just want to make sure the applicants know that it's the state that you're getting the permit from and going through and you got to get all that done and inspected by them and not the city because that's that's created some issues there's people in the audience that know about these issues but it's created some issues in this town in the past not being communicated in that manner just so it's my understanding um so I have a um plan review application being it's already submitted and the Minnesota Department of Agriculture is reviewing it right now it's in q once we get the green light from them to move forward uh we're hiring scr as the plumbers to do the commercial kitchen and then they will submit the application to the state of Minnesota for all the plumbing and get all the permits and handle all of that and then when you get that back then I would say that's what you'd bring into the city to review to make sure that it has the grease straps all that and then Tom could go back to the plumbing inspector and say no we we require this on top okay or something like that but that would be the just yeah just in our language and how it's written just so it's clear moving forward just for clarity the the phrasing that I wrote down was applicant must provide a copy of State Plumbing approved drawings or PL okay okay so you we made that change to condition four strike four and add the phrasing just okay all right if there's no more conditions I'll entertain in a motion I'll make a motion I'll move to I'll move to approve the yeah I'll move to approve conditional use permit 00 1-25 according to the the staff report is submitted and according to the conditions uh as Prov submitted in the report as well um with condition number four being modified to present documents indicating approval of the plumbing Plans by the state of Minnesota I'll second it all those in favor I I those oppose motion carries thank you on Project thank you next item is conditional use permit 00325 to obtain a conditional use permit to construct a commercial addition to an existing structure and open and open a new business commercial retail vended laundry within the central business zoning District the subject property is located at 25527 Church Street P ID 2811 0513 owner applicant Jake and Katie huser hi hi hi there I'm speaking on behalf of my wife tonight who is a basketball game for our son other Talent all right yeah Steve your staff report welcome Jake uh the applicant here is requesting a conditional use permit for the construction of a commercial addition to an existing structure within the central business district the um definitions that I pulled out as it's currently in table 20.01 closest definition would be retail store service new definition that would correspond to the use would be business commercial retail um the proposed business will be served by city sewer ERC connection fees to be determined based upon forecasted water use we do have a memo from Tom blommer Public Works director as to the ERC charges I'll get to that at the end of the analysis here um parking is proposed utilization of existing on Street stalls authorized by previous variants in 2019 um the wall signage should be in compliance with the table 20- 509.com Mission conditions that I identified in my permit history review there was a meets and balance subdivision originally separating this property the City attorney was reviewing that aspect um there were also two additional conditions on the cup in 2019 and the variance in 2019 that tracked D adjacent to the property was to be dedicated right of way I have proposed conditions to alleviate the um this applicant of those two conditions for the variant in cup and then Our advice is to kind of work through the meets and Bounds condition on the back end um the certificate of survey and floor plan showed a couple different methods of attaching to the to the salon the survey depicts directly attaching this addition leaving uh 3.8 ft set back to the north property line where 0 feet is required by our ordinance uh the original discussions and renderings of and floor plan depict a 30X 52 building and attachment to the salon via a Breezeway um the impact to that is that if we have a 30X 52 building and we are not directly attaching it we only have 3.8 ft of potential Breezeway on the south side of that addition so um talking to Jake it sounds like they are proposing a three-foot freezeway attachment which would indicate that we are meeting that setback of 08 ft on the proposal um so that clarification has been received and rendered um the applicant provided an easement document number 915 435 that has its own implications if it is valid uh it has a benefit to the property to the north of the north f 14 ft of this property and a benefit to the property to the South this particular property of the Southern 14 ft of the property to the north um if it's valid it negates the ability to build a structure within this easement if it's invalid the um indicates the ability to treat storm water in the proposed Basin by the engineer for the applicant uh the city attorney's opinion is that this is an Ingress egress document for the access to the property not a drainage utility easement and then he also pointed out that there's a self-termination clause number three in that easement where if no street is built within 12 months the agreement becomes void this means that a revised stor Water Management solution must be found and proposed um I've listed a condition to remedy that as well in my proposal um impervious surface limits are not being exceeded in this application and all setbacks appear to be met as proposed and that's all I have for my analysis yeah would the applicant give us a brief summary of the application yeah certainly um we feel that this uh that there's a a large void in the city of niswa not having a laundromat um we feel like this would complement the city extremely well in the way of you have an hour you you wash something and that's a half hour then you need to dry something that's a half hour so uh that would provide a lot of time for folks to go up town and have food at the the big ax or at um Main Street or shop um so it be a perfect complement to downtown Misa and it would also uh enhance our business at the salon um especially when it gets busy in the summertime we struggle to keep up sometimes with some of the Linens and um so being able to have that across the across the sidewalk would be would be huge for us so yeah we worked with uh on trying to make sure that what we wanted to build was would fit and um setbacks and various um other challenges that I think we worked through so yeah if anyone would like to make public comment you have the opportunity to do so okay hearing none I'll close public comments do we have any comments or questions for the applicant did you have a chance to review the potential conditions I proposed in my staff report Jake say that again did you have a chance to review the potential conditions for that I'm recommending for approval yes and I'm working through those okay do you have any questions about the conditions not at the moment okay okay well there's no other questions or comments I'll entertain a motion one question um it's on just have to move a little bit closer what now that better now look my question um as far as having a laundry mat in downtown nisah was mainly where they sell assets you know they sell tourist things and stuff stuff it just doesn't seem conductive to what NIS is that's my only comment I mean it's just kind of like you know you come to NWA you kind of go through it there's a lot of places that put launder mats around here than in the middle in iswa we were told that when we built the hair salon and we've had every business that uh is up and down Main Street come and and thank us for being here especially um through the winter months because this brings 400 people in a month just that go through that building that wouldn't come here otherwise well I wasn't talk about the number of people that was just my comment it was just kind of a thing where yeah I just don't know how connected is when we we kind of have the idea of keeping everything like kind of misah and stuff and I just that's my only thing is just how's it going to appear to the general thing of missah when you're walking a Mah and go down and I don't think the average tourist expects a laundr at in the middle of a place where they go to buy Trinkets and stuff like that you know you have Martins you have all these other places they'll and everything and I don't know how do you guys feel about that well for me I'm so I'm I'm in the hospitality industry in Brainard and there's always a huge need for laundry meds for for what we do just because I don't have laundry services at our facility because it it's too taxing on on septic systems was my only question it was just it wasn't anything serious as far as negative or anything just how it appears once is there is there yeah you know they're they're I would say they're adding a really nice building at the same time so if if a laundry Mach doesn't work you know down the road it can always be made into something new um from what I saw the the rendition is going to look like The Moxy Salon yeah so I think it's a it's beautiful building I think it would be an asset to what you have going just my opinion oh thank you yeah it was you know the thing to your point was you know you you don't sell anything here at the salon you just do the hair you know and it's like well we do sell some things but it's it's a way to service the people that are coming here to not have them drive to Brainard not have them drive to St Cloud um to do those Services because they need those Services done I don't think too many people go to sound cloud to do their laundry no but I'm talking about the salon itself okay you know so that was the big what does the salon have to do with it you're talking about a laundry man are we talking about a swan now well your your question or your comment was I don't see how that pertains to retail sales in in niswa I'm just saying when we came here in 2019 to get a permit to build a salon okay there was that opposition as well along with most other folks that had a business on Main Street just said hey this is not what we typically have and then since that time they've come in Jim dlan was I mean he was the worst you know when it came to what you know having the salon here and he came to talk to Katie couple of different times after that and he said I boy I couldn't have been more wrong and I'm so thankful you guys are here because those folks come down to shop at my store when there's processing or they're done with their appointment or prior to their appointment and I just don't see how this launder mat wouldn't be the same scenario I mean you got an hour you could go eat you could go get an ice cream cone you could buy things come back to your car switch your laundry then go back out and continue to shop okay gotcha thank you yeah I I'd also add that like some of the conditions in brainer for safety you know sometimes the laundry mats aren't in great areas so it's a safety concern for some people and I think that I mean we're right across from the police station here and it's in a nice part of the neighborhood so I I think it could be an asset but I agree yeah okay uh any other questions comments no more no all right I'll entertain a motion if I was gonna rise Gary do it so I'll uh make a motion to approve the conditional use permit 00325 uh for the laundromat with facts and findings and conditions set forth by the city of nesa second all those in favor I I all those opposed y motion carries thank you very much next item is conditional use permit 00425 to obtain a conditional use permit to construct a commercial business to an existing structure to be utilized as a multi-tenant strip mall a business commercial retail use within the highway business zoning District tenants to be determined one tenant to be a laundromat some Pro uh subject property is located at 23930 Smiley Road P ID 282 30559 282 30560 282 3056 one owner applicant Schaffer schafers of nisah Travis Miller hello I'm Travis Miller Travis Steve you're staff report thank you uh we have an applicant here for a conditional use permit for the construction of a commercial addition to an existing structure within the highway business district uh my analysis is that a cup is required for um retail store and service and the new definition closest matching to this use would be a business commercial retail the proposed business will be served by city sewer ERC connection fees to be determined based upon forecasted water use have to be paid up front by permit application and the remainder subject to metered readings at the end of the first year um I put the impervious area calculations of the three Parcels which are proposed to have adjust adjustments to them um we have parcel number 2823 0559 currently at 86.7% in perious uh proposed that 85.4 um I don't suppose it's necessary for me to read all of them out so I'll just zoom in on it for you there um for the combined parceled we have existing at 31.9 and proposed at 39.4 um currently parcel ending in 055 9 is non-conforming to imperious coverage maximums for the highway business zoning District storm water from all three Parcels is being directed to and retained mostly on parcel 2823 0561 um consolidation of these Parcels would eliminate the uh non-conforming status of the grocery store parcel and is a proposed condition at the end of my report with some potential alterations discussed um section 20- 97 has the table for the existing um impervious coverage limit for Highway business district at 50% um property to the east is Zed Urban residential and should have maintained screening from all commercial uses uh currently there's a lot of forest over there so I don't forecast that to be an issue um a new entrance off of Smiley Road is proposed to facilitate deliveries to the rear loading dock areas all setbacks appear to be met as proposed and while signning this should be in compliant with table 20-50 9.2 uh correction to that Highway business district signs um parking is proposed to be contained within the parking lot on site water meters are required and can be purchased from public works and are recommended for each individual unit proposed good want to give us a brief summary of the application sure so the uh the project that uh we're proposing would be in addition to the uh spirits of nisah building um on the south side of the schaer food parking lot uh we're proposing to add on a 180 feet wide by 84 feet deep um building that's a multi-tenant space um as shown there on the survey and then there's also a loading dock on the east side of that um addition um we're exposing to expand the parking lot that serves schaer Food and Spirits of nisah right now to help facilitate the the growth of this building and then we're also adding a a small service drive on the south side of the building to help with deliveries um and to you know keep traffic to a minimum for smaller vehicles that don't need the loading dock to deliver uh Goods um the overall building expansion is about 15,500 square feet um there will be a fire separation wall um in the middle of that to kind of make this into two separate buildings per the architectural building code um so we don't have to fire sprinkle the facility um the front side of the building will have a covered walkway that faces North to tie in with uh the look and design that the spirits of niswa building is we plan on using you know similar materials Stone um exterior insulation finish system the cover walkway would have uh log columns log trusses um shingled roof uh this building addition would be a flat roof structure there would be a par parit around the exterior of it so you wouldn't be able to see any rooftop equipment on the facility um we have um produced engineer storm water plans a lot of the um Schaefer food parking lot currently drains onto this parcel to the east of this Edition um there is a large area to the east side of this that does buffer to the residential district on that side of the property so screening should not be an issue um on the south side we are doing a little bit of grading and we're planning on planting some coniferous trees in there to buffer from that southern property line as well uh signage would be on the building probably backlit type signage we would meet ordinance on that no additional site signage is planned um like out by the road at this time um I think that kind of summarizes everything the the tenants in the space um are to be determined yet um there's a potential of a laer mat on on the end which would be the East partial right there that Stevens pointing to um as we do get tenants in there we would design those spaces come in for permitting at those time through the the normal process to do that um we did read through the conditions um all seemed like they were um good to us except for uh number eight was asking to combine all three Parcels into one um I believe the schafers would like to leave those Parcels all independent for you know future development purposes um and and we're really just trying to get approval for this addition of of this building at this time sure and I did have a proposed um alteration to that condition there um storm water management being the the driving concern for its placement in the potential conditions um an alternative would be rendering a drainage easement benefiting the northern Parcels to the southern parcel um that could be evidence prior to the land use permit so you just record a drainage easement and provide that evidence when you come for your permit um if that would be an amendable alternative so yeah any thoughts or discussion on that I'm curious on your thought for for the drainage easement yeah just so that area doesn't that's dedicated for drainage for these Parcels isn't developed or filled at some point in the future that's how you protect that sort of area you have a permanent drain and eement over it serves to benefit all the development efforts elsewhere so I don't think they probably do that but for the city that that's there in the future okay so that's what we're doing we're changing we're amending eight to a drainage easement yep okay I had a question about the screening from adjacent residential Zone properties sure am I looking at this correctly is I mean ET uh Grand View is behind you isn't it isn't that what the parcels are behind you yeah sh okay to the east is is there land yet okay that' be the parcel right here next to it right so it's I mean you're not touching that so it shouldn't it shouldn't be a problem with screening and he already said that you're going to put something along the service drive next to the brewery there use to theth anyway so screening wouldn't be required between adjacent commercial uses but commercial and residential area it would be and there's again a ton of forest here and surrounding this retention pond so the screening is there it just needs to remain okay all right does anybody have any questions do not none from Gary I've got just an observation and maybe one question um the uh the observation is that we've gone without without lmats in town for some time and all of a sudden there's two in the same meeting I get kind of a charge out of that um I don't know if that's going to happen but the second one is there's been talked for some time about spirits and niswa expanding into a building expansion there is that is that going to be part of this or I think there was an element in the architectural drama drawing here I'm going to pan to that and then zoom in for you Gary okay yeah there was a small storage area that we've shown in there I think that's speculative yet you know to be determined if if that's going to be part of the project or not yeah just conversation to come on that okay is there anyone in the audience that like to make a public comment all right hearing none close public comments and I will entertain a motion I'll move approval of the conditional use permit 00425 or expansion of existing building into a into a strip center uh according to the staff report as presented and uh also the conditions uh subject to condition number eight being amended uh to language to pertain to a drainage eement rather than consolidation I'll second all those in favor I all opposed motion carries good luck thank you thank you guys I entertain a motion to close the public hearing so moved all those in favor I all oppos motion carries uh next item under new business meets and bound subdivision application 005 d25 good evening Eric Johnson Stephen thank you Eric thank you sir uh we have a um application here to do a subdivision of this parcel here we did the sketch plan review at our last regular meeting for this topic um no changes have been brought forward as it relates to the survey presented last month um and so now is the formal subdivision application for that proposal do you have anything to add that we didn't read same thing as last month okay do we have any questions all right if there's no questions I will entertain a motion John I didn't know who was going to do it uh go ahead I'll uh make a motion to approve meets and bound subdivision application 005 25 with the uh facts and findings that uh were presented and the conditions please what's that and the conditions and the conditions sorry second all those in favor I those opposed motion carries thank you uh next item is ordinance revision proposal thank you so I've been working with Tom blommer and Mike deck in public works related to chapter 28 as it pertains to sewer um the ordinance requirements related to holding tank systems has been reviewed by us and we are recommending to remove the conditional use permit requirement for holding tanks and clarification of when an operating permit should be created and monitored by City staff um the attached revision to chapter 28 of the code of ordinances shows what is being removed with strike through and what is added with underline um let me go let's see 28 236 I'll illustrate the language proposal here it's 23 six there we go current language States a conditional use permit which would be through you guys at this commission would be required um I propose changing that to a monitoring and Disposal contract which is typically done in the design phase of these systems um making that a requirement um to accompany it and um that would be the agreement between the property owner and the licensed maintainer business to ensure removal of tank contents that that shall occur prior to to overflow or discharge of that system to groundw or ground surface um the next section 298 pertains to operating permits um and I've done some review with the state and County to ensure that we are not becoming more um or less restrictive than the county which is required by code um and clarified that the operating permit require IR M at the state level and county level is for type four and type five systems which would be implementing technology and um more advanced systems for the type five and also for msts um msts would be systems that um have a daily flow of 5,000 gallons per day or more um and proposing to strike um one to three and five from this section and go down to the simple um four type five and msts requirements not the simple ones but the the minimum by state so that concludes the alterations that I'm proposing and I just wanted to bring it forward to you guys as you have any concerns for removal of the conditional use permit aspect of that as it would be coming to you your body so do they have now some type of monitoring system for these places that electronically notify them when they're an alarm yep so that's a requirement um that there's a alarm that can notify the landowner if it's a short-term rental um item which is regulated by the county and so if there's a alarm on there then they are then responsible to contact the maintainer pursuant to that monitoring and Disposal contract so um in short yes there's a requirement that there's a system in place for them to know when it needs to be pumped so is electronic monitor monitor there can be there could be buzzers there's also bobber alarms which are built into the the tank lead um I don't know if we have any feedback for you yeah not concerned about removing the cup aspect of it I don't think so okay just an F y then at that point so um the public hearing for this element would take place at city council so this would not be then returning unless an alteration has made so okay uh we have no old business city planners report so we have an upcoming training um that I've put a registration link out to the Planning Commission um to occur at sourcewell in Staples on March 27th of 2025 um please work with uh City staff if you're unable to attend that meeting so we can get something else planned um and in the month of January I have reviewed two things a n911 address application for my pering process and then a lot line adjustment that is currently in process that's all I have for the source well training um there's a registration that we have to go to on page okay y all right I think I got it but I I'll find it y any other questions comments hearing none I'll entertain a motion to adjourn moved second all those in favor I I oppos motion carries we are adjourned thank you Gary oh thank you glad it worked out I got to get some sleep I got to go to the beach in the morning have about it take care sir
