Planning Commission Minutes April 25. 1989 . Mr. Rick Wooten was present and briefly explained his request. Mr. Wooten indicated that in order to get the bank to finance their operation. the bank is requesting that the tanks be removed. Mr. Wooten further indicated that the Trademark sign had been removed and the pillars would also be removed. Mr. Wooten further noted that the agricultural easement across their property was originally put in for Erwin Specht to reach his agricultural property on the west. Mr. Wooten stated that they would not obstruct this easement. The area in front we intend to seed with grass and a few shrubs. This area then would no longer be used for the parking of vehicles. Also. this would be similar to what we would be doing on 165th. the 10 ft. area that we have to stay away from the curb. Discussion was held regarding the parking of semi-trailers. Steve Rohlf. Building and Zoning Administrator felt that bituminous would be a mistake as semi-trailers tend to sink in on hot days. Staff's concern is that the truck terminal be surfaced with a material to control dust. Steve explained that what has been done with other truck terminals is either crushed bituminous or some sort of rock to hold down the dust. This would be consistent with what was done with Metropolitan Gravel. Steve questioned Mr. Wooten whether he would be opposed to putting some type of rock down. Mr. Wooten indicated that parking trailers on cement would be very expensive and would go along with staff's request. . Commissioner Johnson was concerned about the LP tanks and what was being done about this. Mr. Wooten indicated that the tanks would be removed by the end of the week. Discussion was held regarding lighting. It was the consensus of the Commission that they would like the lighting directed away from the right-of-way. Mr. Wooten indicated they would be replacing the lighting as the old lighting was not economical. Mr. Wooten was in agreement with staff and felt that lighting would not be a problem.
