only fabricating Kolstad does is fabricating tool boxes. The tool boxes are approximately 48 inches wide by 24 or 36 inches deep. Kolstad bends aluminum and steel in the fabrication part of its business. Anything larger than that is built at a remote location and comes to Kolstad as a box such as a van body. Kolstad puts a door on it or a louver. The only use Kolstad would have on the outside would be boxes. The boxes would be aesthetically pleasing. Kolstad does not have wrecks in its yards. Kolstad plans to use a good deal of inside storage. Kolstad would have its parts, which it currently stores outside, inside the building. Baker stated the proposed use is a classic I-2, Heavy Industrial use. For that reason, the proposed use cannot operate in an I-1, Light Industrial area. PH.

THE PUBLIC HEARINGS AFTER THE ENERAL USINESS ITEM General Business Concept Plan David Schell Teague reviewed the planning report concerning consideration of a concept plan to divide the property located at the corner of 14th Street NW and Silver Lake Road (1390 Silver Lake Road) into three lots of record. Teague showed photos of the site. David Schell stated the planning report was complete and had no further comments. Donald E. Sroca, 1375 26th Avenue NW, stated his property is directly west of the existing home. Sroca stated he objected to the driveway. Sroca said he considered the projected driveway a road not a driveway. The driveway would be more than 260 feet long. Sroca said his home overlooked the street. Garbage trucks, UPS trucks, snow removal, and service trucks would contribute to the traffic on this driveway/street. Baker asked about the setbacks on such a driveway. Teague responded a five-foot paved surface setback would be required. Baker asked for clarification of “paved surface.” Teague responded the paved surface of the driveway has to be setback at least 5 feet from the property line. Teague said the City would definitely require a paved surface. To comply with the 10-foot utility easements along the side property line, the driveway would likely be setback 15 feet off the property line. Baker asked about the drainage and utility easements. Teague stated any drainage or utility easements would be platted along the property line, which would be 10 feet centered the shared property line. Baker asked how far would the driveway be from the west property line. Teague replied the drive would have to be a minimum of 10 feet from the west property line. Mrs. Cunningham, 1347 26th Avenue NW, stated she was concerned that the driveway is actually a street. Cunningham was concerned about the traffic. Cunningham said the left-hand turn lane was a concern. Even with the left-hand turn, that is a dangerous place, especially during the evening rush hour. Cunningham stated she was concerned about leaving the house that is currently on the property. The house needs repair. What will the new houses be like? Will the new houses be like the other houses in the neighborhood? Will the lots sell with the old house remaining on the property? 10 I:\COMMISSIONS\PLANNING\MINUTES\1999\02-16-99.WPD
