r l ~ LP-86 Page #2 building ata site located east of Old Highway #8 and north of Mounds Avenue. The applicant D.A. Nelson was present to answer any questions. He presented a revised site plan that provided two driveways. Staff commented that the revised site plan did not provide for adequate driving lanes in the parking area. David C.Y~pma of 2023 Old Highway #8 (the property owner di~ectly to the south of the site in question) commented that he opposed having the driveway of 24 feet and parking area adjacent to his house. The proposed location of building and driveway would be next to his bedroom windows. In addition, the construction of the driveway on the southern part of the property would require Mr. Nelson to remove two existing trees. Mr. Yepma went on to say that he did not oppose the office building for that site but oppo~ed the driveway and parking area next to his prop~rty. Mr. Yepma suggested that the Board consider requiring the installa- tion of a privacy fence along the southern and eastern boundaries of Nelson's property. . Mr. Ron Elmquist, the property owner to the east of Mr. Yepma, requested that for safety and prfvacy purposes that a fence should be put up to separate and screen the properties. Mr. Yepma stated that he found it more acceptable if the driveway was on the northern portion of the property. Commissioner Livingston stated that the floor plan with small adjustments could provide for an entrance on the north if the driveway was changed to the north. The applicant commented that he is opposed to turning the building because the rear of the building would. then be facing Old Highway #8 and that side of the building is the least attractive. Motion by Brown, second by Lang that the Board recommend approval of LP-86. Contingent on the building relocation application being approved by the City Council and subject to the site plan being revised to provide for a driveway located on the northern edge of the property. Motion by Williams, second by Brown to amend the motion to include that the applicant shall provide for a 6 ~oot screened fence along the south and east of the property. Motion by Livingston, second by Brown to further amend the motion to include the condition that the building have its entrance adjacent to the recommended driveway on the north and that the driveway be 18 feet to 22 feet in width. . ~
