Planning Commission Minutes <br />April 25, 2017 <br />Page 5 <br />Mr. Carlton noted that the current zoning only allows 50% of the area to be used for <br />outdoor storage and the setbacks are based on the current outdoor storage ordinance follow <br />the front yard setback. <br />Discussion followed regarding an appropriate setback for this type of use. <br />Commissioner Larson -Vito stated she felt it was worth exploring reducing the setback to 75' <br />— 100' with some type of screening. <br />Commissioner Rydberg stated that as a resident he would be less favorable to a berm and <br />inclined to support more foliage (landscaping). He stated that if they were able to mitigate <br />their concerns, maybe a lesser setback could be looked at. <br />The Commissioners also discussed possible impacts on other properties in this same zoning <br />district. <br />Motion by Commissioner Larson -Vito and seconded by Commissioner Nicholas to <br />table this item to the May 23, 2017, meeting, in order to have additional time to <br />research possible impacts of the proposed amendment on other property zoned I-3. <br />Motion carried 7-0. <br />5.4 Paxmar, LLC — Miske Meadows Preliminary Plat <br />■ Modification to Preliminary Plat, Case No. P 17-05 <br />Mr. Carlton explained that modifications to the approved stormwater plans and lot <br />configurations, as well as four new lots are being proposed for the Miske Meadows <br />preliminary plat.
