. . . Elk River Planning Commission Minutes June 22, 1993 Page 5 Lawrence Lukowski, 531 Auburn Place, Elk River, stated his concerns regarding the children playing in the church lot next to this proposed site. Further, Mr. Lukowski questioned staff regarding any oil smells, etc., from this use. Mr. Lukowski suggested some type of fencing along the church property. Mrs. Lukowski questioned staff regarding area drainage. Mr. Sapp responded to Mr. Lukowski's questions regarding oil smells, possible contamination, etc. Mr. Rohlf explained the Planning Commission's role regarding this specific request and stated the limitations regarding the church property, however, since both properties are owned by Mr. Santwire (the church property and the property for this proposed use), staff would resolve the fencing issue with Mr. Santwire. Mr. Rohlf suggested Mr. Santwire construct some type of roped off area around where vehicles park for church services. Mr. Santwire agreed to rope off the church parking area. Janine Holmberg, 87-5th Street, Elk River, stated her concerns regarding possible fumes from this type of use and concerns regarding increased traffic on 5th Street.
