Conference will now be recorded a couple minutes. >> Going to do something with that building. I was wondering if it's just going to fall apart or what's going to happen to it. >> Oh god, I didn't recognize it.
>> Yeah. Yeah. >> Is this the old No hatchery up on the hill there. >> This one? >> Yeah, >> that's the left. >> Across across Jefferson up the hill that way. >> Yeah.
>> Used to be a mental hospital. >> Chicken hatchery. >> Chicken hatchery. >> Is that what it was? >> Okay. I've always wondered that. >> But there's nothing on the west side of that old building. I thought I think it's the building itself.
>> It looks like it's ready. >> Another minute. Yeah. Yeah. Looking at the clock, it looks like we've reached 5:30 the time for our meeting. So, I'll call the meeting to order. Um, first item business to adopt
or amend the agenda. Got the agenda before you? >> No changes. No recommendation. Okay. Is there a motion? >> Move to adopt the agenda. >> Second. It's been moved and second that we adopt the agenda as printed. All those in favor say I.
>> Post say no. Motion carries. 500. Item number three is the minutes of the last meeting which was the December meeting in January. If you want to review those quick and see how Miles did. I make a motion we accept the minutes
from the last meeting. >> Is there a second? I'll second. It's >> been moved and seconded that we >> moved and second that we adopt the minutes as printed. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Post say nay. Motion carries 500.
Okay. We will now open the public hearing for the reszoning of the 70 West Third Street. That is the small parcel of land located near the proposed apartment development across the street here.
We call them open. Is there any comments? Was anything submitted to us or >> uh Well, yes. I guess just to add on that there bought this land from us. We approved the sale in December at our last meeting. Um and they are seeking that
idea is that they're going to combine this lot to the other lots just because it's so weird that there's three separate parcels on this land. >> So, they need to combine them with the counties. That's kind of the purpose of doing this. Um, but it's to be used to complete the Bridge Apartments building which is moving along. Um, and um, yeah,
so we're reszoning it to planning a development so the county can hopefully uh, with approval um, connect them so that it's one because legally they're not allowed to construct over separate parcels. >> So that's the purpose of doing something
like this. >> That makes sense. When are they going to start building? >> When things get done. >> Okay. >> She says when they're going to start. >> I said when will they start building?
>> Okay. If there's no other comments, I'll close the public hearing and we'll open it for uh the board here to discuss decide. What's your pleasure as far as the resoning recommendation here?
Well, to get it started, I'll move that we recommend to the city council that this uh resoning be uh approved. Is there a second? >> I'll second that. >> Okay, it's been moved and seconded that we approve the uh resoning. Is there any discussion?
I see that I haven't been for a lot of stuff for just so much reasoning to make this building fit and stuff. So just my my voting against it is I I hope it all works out but I I just
not for any of this all the putting this all I mean it's the right thing to do but anything with this building I'm just against it if that's >> you respect that. Anyone else have comments? I'll call for the vote. All those in
favor of making the recommendation of city council to approve the reszone say I. >> I. >> Post say nay. >> I'm sorry. >> Motion carries. 410. >> All right. Okay. We'll open the public hearing for the condition of use permit for 910 West
2nd Street. Um Miles, can you maybe summarize this for us? Sure. Uh, so we've got an application from Justine Lexul to seeking a conditional use permit for their home at 910 West Second Street. This permit will be used to install a manufactured home on the lot
while the primary residence is receiving major repairs and renovations. Um, the manufactured home will not encroach upon setbacks within the residential zoning code. Um, and our code just tells us they need a conditional use permit because it's technically not a primary
residence, but it will be used as one. Um, and so based off our residential zoning code, we have just says that they're required to have it in like a neighborhood where they are. Um, so that's the purpose of this. Um, I don't know if I any of you have any extra
thoughts, comments, or anything, but yeah. Um yeah, and I are here this evening um to ask to uh you know approve this and to move forward um to allow this
manufactured home to go on 910 or Second Street. We currently rent right now and our uh the land owners are wanting to do something different with the property. Um and our realtor has shown us several
properties um and the the cost uh is astronomical. Uh and we um you know looking at our budget uh anything that we can afford is a fixer upper. So we that we led us to go to
look at manufactured homes and um you know that process of it being affordable and then we can also put money into the building that is currently there that um
beautiful building. Um, >> that big old >> Yep. >> brick structure that you're you're going to renovate or what? >> Put a new roof on it. >> Pardon? >> Put a new roof on it first >> and then looks like
>> try to work at any of the interior, you know, and remodeling that might need to be done, structural stuff. But, uh, we've had it evaluated and, uh, it's structurally sound enough to
fix the roof and take care of the other minor things. So, yeah. >> So, you're >> still using it with my business. >> And you're remodeling it to eventually live in it, you mean? M >> well uh
actually just to keep it in in as good a shape as I can until I decide what we really want to do with it. But uh I'm using it basically as a shop in the basement. And uh we were considering
living in it, making an apartment place from it, but uh we've heard some encouraging offers, people who want to buy it and make an apartment place of it themselves. And so for now, I'm going to keep it, but I need to make sure that it's
structurally sound for the future or whatever I might decide. >> So you're currently not living on the property, >> correct? And you and your goal is to move the manufactured home on the property, live on the property, and
repair the correct structure. >> That's the idea. >> Gotcha. Okay. >> And at some point, then you'll move the manufactured home off of this property. >> Yes. Yeah. Eventually, we could do with whatever we decide, sell it or move it somewhere else to live or
>> do you have a a timeline for what you're thinking it might take or >> not? >> No, I mean, >> we're kind of waiting for all this to be approved before really, but we want to get going right away.
>> We wouldn't hesitate to rehab, you know, and renovate. Personally, I like the idea. I guess my only concern is if the trailer hollis ends up becoming permanent, manufacturing becomes permanent. That's that would be a concern. >> Well, I guess the part of the point of doing conditional use is that that can
be >> explicit stated. >> Yes. And it can be taken away, right? And so, >> so is it requested for a specific period of time or is it just >> We have a separate interim use permit that would be for a specific point of time, but since this is kind of
open-ended and it technically qualifies under a conditional use that we do this um but we can approve things on condition as well. That's kind of part of it too. >> Conditional use on the condition. >> Yes. >> Okay. So, there's going to be a specific
time or it'll just stay open until it is all finished. >> I would say open-ended, but we if it's a problem, if it becomes a problem in the future, then it's within our authority to >> Okay. >> do with as we need to as well.
That's why I asked if you had some idea over if you were planning to do this over two years or 10 years or or what your thinking might be. >> It depends upon finances. Thank you. But that is why we're looking into doing this.
>> For me, it'll be more than 10 years. >> We'll do that. Yeah. >> Do you have a um idea where you would place it on the property? I know it says that um >> street side >> on street side is what you're thinking. Okay.
>> Kind of in the middle of that front yard >> parallel the street >> on this side. >> Yeah. I think we should go over and look at the whole thing before we decide. I've >> always wanted to see that building. Wanted to see it.
>> Your business. You do the fire extinguisher business to the building still. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Yep. My basement there is the shop. >> Yeah. >> And uh that's what I really need to fix. >> Keep it structurally sound. >> Is this zone commercial? No.
No, it's 10 years on residential right now. >> The tax. So, it's say it's commercial land and buildings >> there. >> Yeah. I mean, that hasn't been adjusted probably for for years because I haven't even looked at it yet. >> Yeah, I looked at it yesterday.
>> It was hanging produce back in the day. >> Pardon? >> It was handing produce back in the day. >> They ran an egg business out there. >> So, it's still commercial. >> It was commercial. still is commercial. >> Yeah, it still is commercialism. >> Is still in owns it, which is still
active company >> and I own Henning Produce, but I'm operating as Matt Hennington. So, Henning Produce hasn't been in operation for a long time. We just kept the business thing open because it owns the property.
>> Okay. is if it's commercial then it's going to stay commercial or change over just >> well it's different right it's our zoning is saying it's a residential property right correct mouth >> but according to the county and tax
purposes it's >> listed as commercial is what you're saying right >> the county is commercial and we got it zoned as residential Yes, I would say that's probably incorrect, but since this is now going to possibly be used as
zone, >> right, it's probably not as big of a problem. That was it was probably lumped in together at some point. We we don't like check on our zone to make sure it's correct all the time. >> So, it's probably just been this way for
>> years and no one knows it. Question obviously long before me. So >> all the neighbors receive letters on this public hearing, right? >> No other feedback received. >> Okay.
>> Is there any other comments that you have to throw at us or >> comments? You want to comment about anything? >> No, not really. Um, you know, my dad bought the place way way way back when
and has been in the Henning family since that, you know, since he purchased it. In fact, if you look at all these pictures around here of all of the, you know, of the different stores of owners, my greatgrandfather took those.
>> Oh, really? >> I throw that in. >> Your grandfather? >> My great grandfather. history. It's okay. >> If there's no other questions on it, we'll close the public hearing and open
it for discussion of the board. >> Is this hooked up to city water and sewer? No. >> Everything in town has to be legally, but I have not checked. >> That'll be something. >> Okay. >> It does. And they would hook into that.
It is our own ease from the water line and sewer >> designed to connect to the site. >> Okay. So, it's already there. Okay.
How would this fit in with what we have talked about with our tiny houses that we don't allow other little properties on properties? Yeah, >> that I think that might become a problem. >> Well, but we're only talking one
residence on this property, not using both of them at the same time as a residence, I believe, would be a difference. >> Okay. >> But yeah, I know what you're saying. >> So, building is not going to be considered residential, but this the
manufactured home will be. And so, there's not two problems. >> No, I mean, you're not planning to occupy the old building and the new building. two different families are two different at the same time >> because we've had we've had that discussion before. >> Yes. No, it's not at all.
>> There'd only be one residence on the paral. So >> the neighbors on each side, will they be aware that there's going to be a trailer house in there? They were >> they are aware >> notified already. >> I'm required by law to notify everyone within 350 ft. >> Okay.
>> So for nothing >> and they got their notice in the mail. >> I would hope so. if you can address >> no comment. >> No comments. >> So the other two existing structures, I mean it's a conditional use, right? So it's not like it's
it's forever, >> right? >> And if we um these other structures because this becomes the primary residence, are these then considered um accessory structures >> in our ordinance or not necessarily?
>> I guess they could be. Well, I guess the way I see it is that technically there's a place on there that would be sort of considered a primary residence under our code. Yeah. So, this would technically be that accessory building,
>> but the conditional use is making it so that it's a primary residence >> because our code doesn't allow you to actually live in a manufactured home in residential, >> right, >> zoning unless it's part of a larger >> facility. Right. Oh, really?
>> Um, so >> that was at least my interpretation. That is not a legal interpretation. So, >> and the only place they're supposed to be is in a trailer park, isn't that right, >> with our >> But there are manufactured homes around town that aren't.
>> Yeah. This is a trailer house. This isn't a >> um This is on a chassis, right? >> Right. >> Yeah. So, it's got like a car title with it. It's not a regular. It had modular brought in. >> What's the difference? Because modular
homes are the same way. >> No, they they don't have a chassis and they this kind of a this kind of a parcel would have a title to it. Like when you're buying a car, >> that's what this is. >> And when when they bring in a home in
sections and set them up, >> they aren't on a chassis. They're on a foundation. Yeah. >> And they're a permanent home. >> All right. >> This is >> temporary. Yeah. >> Just information. It does, the one that we are interested in does have a pitch
roof and there is a porch a covered porch up front and we plan if this is approved um to put cement underpinning on it skirting underpinning um oresthetics. You know, it it does
very much look like a modular. I don't know that that is approved in in the city limits either, but information, >> but it would have the red tag like a trailer house would. That's the kind of a home it's going to be, isn't it? >> Correct. >> Yes.
>> You put skirting around the bottom there is what you do. >> Yeah. And but we plan on putting cement brick type skirting >> so it look it'll look like a basement. >> Yeah. Yes. >> Being taxed at a commercial
rate now, right? >> Commercial. That's how it's being taxed right now. We don't know that. >> It's It's tax correct. >> So, if they're living there, can that be changed? >> It's taxed as residential right now. >> It is. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Oh, >> she says no. You say yes. Okay. I'm on
that one. >> She's got the colony one. The colony one is different than what the city is. >> Okay. Another question. This second building in the back, is that just a steel shed? Is that >> Yep. Warehouse? >> Okay.
>> Because I've never noticed it. >> Okay. I've just never noticed it. >> Block. >> Okay. >> So, so this neighbor that lives in this house right here, have you talked to that? I hear something to deal with.
>> Oh, hi Bruce. Was that Bruce? >> That's Bruce. >> Okay. Is there any other discussion or call for the vote? >> Well, yeah. I mean, that was kind of my concern that it wasn't, you know, your skirting that you're going to do. I mean it once they get done with the pitch
rope and the skirting they put on the theme is not going to be the you know pull barn steel like they do at >> land actual person that drives by there is not >> probably know it's affect not that I'm trying to hide it that it is but I mean
>> right yeah you want to keep the >> don't know how long it will be there like if it's going to be five years or 10 years or >> but do we have the authority to revoke the conditional use. >> I don't know. I don't know.
>> Okay. >> I don't know. I would assume we can because we have statutory authority. >> I would have to get a legal opinion. I don't want to give you a long answer on that, >> but I would assume we could do so.
>> Long range plan on the building there just to get it buttoned up and everything. It's really not a plan to make that into a house. >> Well, possibly. Okay. That's still >> it's possible >> depending on our age also. But you know if it's residential then it would be
setting it up for someone to live there >> like us or you know making it liveable >> and once you get it made livable whether you do apartments or whatever you would still leave the if it was
apartments you would move into apartments too or whatever. >> Yeah. Yes. Yeah. the the the manufactured home would be removed. >> Yeah. >> Is this a brand new unit that you put in there? >> Yes. >> And how big is it?
>> Um um don't have the paperwork with me. It is a threebedroom, two bath. I think the length is like 52 by 28. >> Investment. >> Um >> yeah, the open end is my only concern. I
guess it's You can approve the conditions you would like. >> You said we could take it away anytime as far as that >> condition. >> Yeah. Conditional use that that can stop. So if it gets stretched into years
and years for some reason, then it can be stopped and then they have to stop doing things with it. Well, >> is that how it would work? >> I mean, it's not I mean, let's say >> I'm not saying they're not going. I'm just wondering what what happens. >> For example, let's say it goes 15 years in the future. They're no longer there.
It's in disarray and we're like, "Okay, we're done with it." Okay. >> So, we approved to remove it. I mean, does that really make them stop doing what they're doing? No. I would have to issue violations and our legal recourse would then take effect on that anyway. So,
>> I'm not going to be here that long anyway. It's okay. I just wondered what would happen. >> It's a little bit similar to some on like we have kind of a little bit of some ongoing stuff anyway legally with another property that >> right >> I kind of see how it could mirror that where if it got to a point where it's a
problem and we and we were like we're done with this. This is no longer in use. City council approves the same thing. We would then have our attorney then file suit on that for violations. If our my violation doesn't go anywhere,
statutory stuff doesn't go anywhere. >> Oh, you're going to get it all done before then. I was just wondering what would happen. >> It's just Yeah, it's just an example of like that. There's really >> So, there is some recourse if it does. >> And again, like when we especially when we talk about, you know, issues with accessory dwelling units, we don't want
that anyway, right? >> Well, we're approving all these on a case by case basis anyway, right? Because our code doesn't allow for that. So, we have all the authority to do what we choose to do. Um, it's just, you know, up to you guys to decide if these
case by case basises go. >> Let me throw this out. I would it be reasonable if we could prove if we recommend approval of this on a 10 years and in 10 years it could be renewed if that was the desired situation. We wanted to make that
>> kind of that >> and an interim use puts a time limit on, doesn't it? >> Yes. But yeah, we would we're not using interm use because it wasn't applied for. So it's a conditional use with a condition that >> with a time limit. >> Yeah.
>> Which is kind of the same thing, but >> it's the same thing. It's just our zoning code says conditional use permit. So >> Right. Okay. Got it. things that you're working on. >> Yeah. To bring them up to date and and I would only I know this probably isn't
going to happen, but in a conditional use maybe put in there that you can't just you have to be the primary. You can't sell it or whatever. >> Yeah. I don't >> you know I know that's not going to happen but this board changes quite often so we just have it
>> right still interpretation but I don't believe it would transfer to someone else anyway >> so it use lights to the property owner that applied for the permit >> so I put a motion out >> I think we should do more investigating
we have 60 days. Is this under the 60-day limit? When do you want to start? >> I guess. What are we going to gain? >> We probably could if I think we could probably wait another month legally without me sending notices again. Well,
that's actually not true. I will send out notices again because I have to. >> Um but um >> what do we get out of waiting? Do the people across the street do they get notices too? >> Yeah. Everyone with >> everybody within so many.
>> So they have >> this is down probably 45 of them. So >> that should cover it. >> Okay. So what else would we have to look at that I don't know about? >> Well, I don't know. I know. >> City council will be reviewing it as well. So it's not end all deal anyway.
So it will have another final approval. And I still based off what we said tonight. I'll check with our public works to make sure everything's okay. But so we'll still have approvals before things are done. So >> just if it would alter the area with the mobile home in there, you know, for the
other houses. >> Yeah, it'll be different. >> Yeah, it isn't what that whole area is. It's totally different than what's out there now. But I also think quite honestly having it there and the way it's described on
how they might care for it um it's going to improve what this existing structure is like um yeah it's a different um resident style but I don't know yeah people were notified that
>> if they had a concern with it they could have brought it forward. If you're not comfortable with it, Bev, you don't have to vote for it. >> Okay. I'll throw out a motion that we recommend approval of this uh conditional use with a 10-year limit on
it for review. >> I'll second that. >> It's been moved in second. Is there any further discussion? All those in favor of recommending to city council that they approve this with a 10-year limit, say I. I. Post >> say nay. I
>> Okay, carries 320. Okay, thank you. >> That'll be at the city council meeting this week or >> 19 >> 19 that recommend recommended approval
>> coming up soon to take a look at the whole thing. See what that old building looks like. >> I've been there. I've been in the in the building, but I've been >> Okay. Item five, old business. I see there's nothing in there. Does anybody have any old business that we've carried
over? >> Okay. They'll go on to new business. Quarterly update from safe build. >> Yes. Uh just providing an update on our fourth quarter um building permits from 2025. Since we didn't have our meeting last month, I would have had it then, but I'm just throwing it on here now.
So, that's there for your review. Not much going on. Uh, it was pretty light. Fourth quarters are pretty light when I've looked at prior years for building permits. So, nothing expected. >> The freestanding sign, is that the one out at midair or DFA?
>> Did they ever get that in? Is that >> I would assume they did, but I think that would have been third quarter maybe. Okay. >> I don't know. >> I was just curious sign. I don't remember which one that was. >> Don't remember. New sign around town. >> Yeah, there was more than one sign out
there at DFA. >> Yeah, was there? >> I think so. >> Okay. >> Well, there's one permit, so I don't know what four new houses. Nice.
>> Any other questions or comments on the report? Okay. Thank you. Then Miles item seven other any other business to be brought up? Discussion, questions, a heads up that next month probably
see the first of a subdivision whole subdivision coming in. >> Nice. >> Um for Highlands their next phase. So, we're probably not going to see that next month or at least the first preliminary plan um to get moving on
that. So, so >> is there any activity on the um apartment compet? How's that? Is it started? >> It has not started. Uh we're still in negotiations on a development agreements
right now. Um, and yeah, we'll kind of see where it goes. Uh, after this reszone tonight, the really only thing is just council approval on that and then final resolutions on everything and then they're good to start. Um, pending
agreement on development agreement. So, >> good deal. >> Yep. That's the update on that. >> Okay. >> Such a hurry to get everything. I guess uh open for motion to adjourn. >> All right. >> I make a motion to
>> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. It's been moved and second that we adjourn the meeting. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> I. Say n. Motion carries 500. Thank you. >> And I won't be here next month. I'll be sitting at a Twins game. for my
>> great subdivision.
