Planning Commission Minutes April 26, 1982 Page Thirteen Chairman Tracy inquired about the setbacks. Rick Breezee stated that front yard setabcks in Industrial zoned areas is 50 feet. In this area, an industrial business could not be built because of the setbacks. The only thing that could go in that area was commercial. Discussion followed regarding the HRA plan. They have not decided how far up this should go. Commissioner Pearce felt that the area south of the tracks was completely divorced from the area north of the tracks. He indicated that this should be included in the study. He did not think they should only take a little chunk and make it C-3. Rick Breezee stated that this is really difficult for two reasons. First of all, if it remains, 1-2, the Feedmill remains conforming but Mr. Martin is nonconform- ing. If it was changed to C-3, Mr. Martin would become conforming and the Feed- mill would be nonconforming. Councilman Toth indicated that first of all there is a dedicated street on the west end of the Plaza and secondly, the staff should look at the parking regula- tions for his present establishment. This may hinder any other type of establish- ment going on the east because of limitations of parking. Councilman Toth doesn't want to see this okayed and then find out the parking is inadequate. Mr. Martin indicated that he has an acre of land to the west of the building. Rick Breezee indicated that Mr. Martin would have to create the parking lot hard surfaced and dust free. He then indicated that before any decision can be made regarding this, staff will check into what are the existing parking conditions and also look into how far exactly the C-3 should be expanded. Chairman Tracy asked if. the Feedmill should be notified of the possible change. Rick Breezee stated that when this went to a public hearing, the Feedmill would be notified. The problem of sanitary sewer was also discussed. Rick Breezee stated that Mr. Martin would have to provide sanitary facilities for the tennants of the build- ing. Rick Breezee indicated that Mr. Martin does not have on the easterly portion, enough space to get the 10 foot separation from the yard line that is required. Mr. Martin would then have to get a variance. The second problem is that the sewer line is across the highway and it would be a problem for connection. He also felt that his present system accomodates the usage now; but if he expands, he would either have to expand his present system or hook up, either of which would be costly. Chairman Tracy entertained a motion to table this request for further study by staff.
