HEAR THE PUBLIC: None.
PERFORMANCE BOND REMINDERS: Hagestead Painting on Center will be posting a bond after
they finish the new building project, move everything to the new building, and then do the work on the
paint booth. They need the C of O to do all that, so they will bond. They are also going to put in a
couple of rain gardens in the front for Public Works.
OLD BUSINESS: Spring Prairie Phase 3/Kohl's — Hwy 93 N — Nothing new to report.
NEW BUSINESS: None.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS: The board will begin updating the Growth Policy in January, and that
will be going on all next year. There are no other items for their January agenda at this time, but they will
be getting an annexation application in for a property at the end of Three Mile Drive where it merges
with Farm to Market Road. This is a three -acre parcel that has roads on all three sides. There is a house
there with a well. They want to come into the City. The Growth Policy would allow them to obtain
commercial zoning, so they will be allowed to have their drive-thru coffee shop (a caboose). They don't
necessarily need sewer, as they have been working with the County Environmental Health Dept. about
putting in a septic system. But fire flow could be an issue and they may need to put in a fire hydrant.
They would also need to bring water to this project. The West Valley Overlay Zoning District does not
permit any sort of commercial -type use on that property at all. This is an agricultural -zoned area in the
County. The City would allow them to have the needed commercial zoning, but there would be added
expenses including paving requirements, fire flow, etc. Clawson noted that they should have received a
Building Permit from the State. We would need to see that before we would allow them to operate. The
owner is presently building a carport covering and also wants to add onto his garage. Clawson stated
they should get all of this completed before annexing into the City.
OTHER REPORTS: Auto Zone will need to bond for parking lot striping, landscaping, outside
building painting, etc.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:15 a.m.
