MEMBERS PRESENT Cathy Buck, Ann Bodlovick, William Lundquist, Bill McDonald, Harry Peterson OTHERS PRESENT Dan Koehler, Sue Mosiman, Doug Swenson, Mrs. Leonard Feely, Oscar Kern, Bill Pauley, Mark Campbell, Jim Torseth, Neal H. Skinner APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion was made to approve the minutes of the June 6th meeting as submitted. Motion seconded. Motion carried. e KERN-PAULEY RACQUETBALL CLUB: REVIEW AND DETERMINE CONDI- TIONS OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT AND MINOR SUBDIVISION Mr. Kern asked if Mr. Torseth could made a few points to the Committee. The Committee agreed. Mr. Torseth displayed pictures of landscaping incon- sistancies within the Joint Powers Area. He pointed out that Press-On, Inc. had landscaped beyond the requirements necessary. Mr. Torseth disapproved of the requirement of poured in place concrete curbs and parking islands in an employee parking lot in an Industrial Zoning District. There is a vistor park... ing lot for the public at Press-On. He pointed out a number of parking lots without poured in place concrete curbing, and in some cases timbers were used as curbing. Mr. Koehler pointed out that because concrete curbs are not in place at the Burger King, Zantigo, and the Warehouse Services parking lots the performance bonds were not being released. Mr. T orseth noted the current Zoning Ordinance does not require poured in place concrete curbing. Dan con- firmed that fact but the Joint Powers Committee had established a precedent of requiring them as a condition of the Special Use Permits. Mr. Pauley asked what the amount of the performance bond wi II be. Dan stated the bond amount must be 1000;0 of the estimated cost of blacktopping, landscaping, and curbing. Mr. Kern feels the requirement of a performance bond causes the developer to do the least amount of landscaping possible. Chairperson Buck explained that several bonds could be submitted and when each phase of construction is com- pleted that portion of the bond could be released. e Chairperson Buck asked that an addition to Condition #8 be made that crushed rock should be used as a base until the area can be blacktopped. The black- topping should be cOlnpleted one (1) year from the date of the Special Use Per- mit. e Joint Powers June 20, 1979 Page Two Bill McDonald asked that Condition #15 be changed to read IIAny major alter- ations to the attached plot and landscape plans shall be reviewed and approved by the Joint Powers Committee and the County Planning Department and shall require an amended Special Use Permittl. Motion was made to approve the final draft of the permit as written conditioned upon receipt of grading/drainage plan, lighting plan, bond and approval by the staff. Motion seconded. Motion carried. The Kern-Pauley minor subdivision was approved at the June 6, 1979 meet- ing conditiond upon receipt of a certificate of survey and deed being submitted for approval. LEONARD FEELY MINOR SUBDIVISION PROPOSAL Doug Swenson, County Attorney suggested the minor subdivision be tabled until Dr. Wallace submits more information and both proposals would be considered at the same time. Motion was made to postpone consideration of the minor sub- division. Motion seconded. Motion carried. e PRESS-ON, INC. CUP: DISCUSS EXPANSION OF EXISTING BUSINESS (CONSTRUCTION OF PHASE lID Mr. Torseth explained Phase I was constructed in 1975, and Phase II in 1977. Phase III is an addition of 37,594 square feet and a new parking lot to accommodate 105 automobiles. This addition will be the same roof height as Phases I and II and will be built in two (2) levels. Mr. Torseth disagrees with the use of parking islands in an employee parking lot because they are a nui sance to snow removal and he feels the shrubbery would be ki lied by the salt from the cars. He sees no sense in parking is- lands especially in an employee parking lot. There is a designated vistor parking lot between the two (2) existing buildings. Mr. Torseth thought head in curbing would be sufficient. Dan feels the parking islands are essential for traffic circulation. He suggests at least four (4) islands to direct traffic especially in winter when the painted Jines of the parking stalls are not visible. e A motion was made to have the County Planning Staff draft an amendment to the Ordinance, Section 708.05 (11) (Parking Islands. For each additional 3,000 square feet of off-street parking space after the first 3,000 square feet, one (1) parking island equal in size to a single parking space shall be installed. All parking islands shall have concrete curbs, and a landscaped interior.> in regard to industrial employee parking lot standards at the next public hearing July 25, 1979. Motion seconded. Motion carried. .a e Joint Powers June 20, 1979 Page Three Mr. Swenson stated the Planning Department could issue the Conditional Use Permit requiring parking islands and amend the Conditional Use Permit if the Ordinance 708.05 (11) is amended. GENERAL DISCUSSION Mr. Koehler was unable to get to Sid White1s for a visual inspection of the property, consequently Doug was unable to write Mr. White a letter. Dan stated he would get a letter of review to Doug before the next meeting. Virgil Canfield is interested in subdividing his property in the Joint Powers District. Mr. Koehler had given him a list of the requirements needed to subdivide.

Public Hearing Held June 20, 1979 Washington County Courthouse, Sti lIwater, Minnesota Members Present: Ann Bodlovick, Cathy Buck, William Lundquist, Harry Peterson, Bill McDonald Others Present: Dan Koehler, Sue Mosiman, Doug Swenson, Jim Torseth, Oscar Kern, Mark Campbell, Bill Pauley, Mrs. Leonard Feely, Dr. Wallace, Neal H. Skinner Chairperson Buck opened the hearing at 7:30 P.M. e Dr. Wallace submitted a landscaping plan which Dan Koehler found to be inadequate. Dr. Wallace reviewed the plans for his building which is a combination professional building and residence. The building will have three (3) stories, the first two (2) stories would be used for pro- fessional office and the third would be used for a residence. The build- ing would be located on three (3) acres of property. Mr. Kern expressed concern over the use of the property as a residence. Mr. Torseth was concerned over the screening of the industrial area from the residence. Mr. Torseth went on to say that even under the best of conditions there may still be activities that go on in an industrial area, such as excessive noise, lighting, etc., that may be offensive to a resi- dent. Dr. Wallace realizes the adverse conditions that may occur but does not feel that the conditions wi II be intolerable. Ann Bodlovick asked if Dr. Wallace were to sell the property in the fu- ture would the use have to remain the same. Doug explained that a P . U.D. and conditions of such are binding on the land not the owner. Mr. Torseth again questioned the screening of the industrial property from the residential property. Ann Bodlovick suggested screening be the re- sponsibility of the developer of the proposed P.U.D. applicant, rather than the adjacent industrial uses. Dr. Wallace was asked if this were one of the conditions of his P.U.D. would he have any objections. Dr. Wallace stated he would have no objection. Dan stated a detailed site plan and landscape plan should be submitted which shows the bui Iding on the lot including future expansion. e Mr. Kern asked about the property being assessed for the construction of the road.
