Site Plan Review (Permanent Slab for Green House) by Pamida Janelle Szklarski, Zoning Assistant, stated that the applicant (Dennis Burkstrand) is requesting site plan review for Pamida to allow expansion of their greenhouse area. Pamida lies within a PUD therefore any modification to the site needs to go through a site plan review by the Planning Commission and City Council. Staff is recommending approval of the request. Mr. Burkstrand explained their reason for the request is to pick up additional parking spaces. He indicated that they would use this concrete slab to construct a 24' by 50' greenhouse addition for 6 weeks of the year. The construction of this greenhouse would be more of a convenience for the customers and also provide security for the store. COMMISSIONER EBERELY MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE SITE PLAN REVIEW AS PRESENTED BY PAMIDA INC. BASED ON THE FINDINGS THAT THE OPERATION WOULD IMPROVE THE TRAFFIC, SAFETY AND SECURITY THAT IS NEEDED FOR THE OPERATION OF THE BUSINESS WITH THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS: 1. THAT PAMIDA OBTAIN BUILDING PERMITS EACH TIME THE GREEN HOUSE IS TO BE ERECTED. 2. THAT THE GATES ON THE FENCES ARE TO REMAIN OPEN DURING BUSINESS HOURS. 3. THAT THE GREENHOUSE KEEP THE SAME HOURS AS THE STORE. COMMISSIONER VANVALKENBURG SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. Commissioner Eberley indicated that every effort should be made to replace damaged foliage in keeping with spirit of the new landscape ordinance. 8. Consider Variance (11 ft. Encroachment on 20 ft. Side Yard Setback to Accommodate a House) by SDrin~er Construction/P.H. Janelle Szklarski, Zoning Assistant, stated that Springer Construction is requesting a variance for a house which has already been constructed. She indicated that at the time the building permit was pulled, the site plan that was submitted to staff showed the proper setbacks, however, Springer Construction inadvertently located a pin (iron) that was used to mark the curve of Gary Street instead of the pin that marked the southeast corner of Lot 7. Staff is recommending approval of this request as staff feels they meet the five standards for granting a variance. Chairman Kimball opened the public hearing.
