06-01-89 Parks Comm MinutesPARKS/PUBLIC LANDS/ANNEXATION/BUILDING REGULATION COMMITTEE MEETING
• June 1, 1989 5:00 P.M.
Present at the meeting were Councilmen Furlong, Atkinson, Nystul;
City Attorney Neier, Parks Director Baker, Building Official Kerzman,
and David Greer.
POSTON ADDITION
Chairman Furlong opened the meeting and turned it over to David
Greer to explain the Poston Subdivision, or Lot 13 of the Poston
Addition. He said the proposal is to split Lot 13 into 2 separate
tracts of land. The Lamplighter House will be on one lot and
Euroservice will be on the other lot. He said this is a minor
subdivision so it has to be acted upon within 35 days after its
submitted as an application, so it would have to be acted on Monday
night, June 5. He stated the Euroservice building encroaches upon
an adjoining lot, and he had talked to several people about this, it
is nothing significant, and Euroservice would have to work it out
with the adjoining property owner. Greer said FRDO is recommending
conditional approval, with 5 conditions, which were read and discussed.
C. Furlong asked if it was normal to subdivide lots like this?
Greer stated it is fairly common in residential properties but you
don't see it too often in commercial properties.
•Building Official Kerzman stated he had no problem with this, it
meets the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance with respect to the
lot size and layouts.
The Fire Department also had no problems with the subdivision, they
feel they have adequate room to get around the buildings and had
adequate fire flow.
C. Atkinson asked who is responsible to see that these conditions
are taken care of? Greer said they would have to make another
application for final plat approval, FRDO evaluates them and advises
the Council whether or not they have met the conditions, and if the
conditions have not been met the Council will have to turn them
down.
Ken Williams spoke in regard to the parking for Lamplighter House
and Euroservice. He said they had provided 26 stalls on the Lamplighter
House site. He stated that when they provide the addition which is
a shop and modest kitchen facility on the back of Lamplighter House
they will have a considerable amount of fill, which they would like
to use to fill the area which is low and causes drainage problems on
Euroservice property. The other concern he has is providing handicap
access to both floors. He said they could provide access to the
lower floor easily adjacent to the addition. He said if they could
get a 10' easement from the North boundary line it would more than
• take care of the existing facilities and give them a proper handicap
access to the main floor. He stated they had no problem with the 5
conditions.

Building Official Kerzman said he had reviewed the site plans and
found no problems with them.
MOTION: C. Atkinson moved that the Committee recommend to the
Council the adoption of the Preliminary Subdivision with the 5
conditions. C. Nystul seconded. Upon a vote the motion passed
unanimously.
EIGHTEENTH STREET ANNEXATION
C. A. Neier explained the problem with Eighteenth Street Addition.
He stated the Master Plan allows for a commercial use in that area
and two of the lot owners, City Service and Norm Bjelland, object to
the B-2 classification as they are industrial and therefore cannot
be annexed. Neier recommended that we not annex Eighteenth Street
Addition at this time.
David Greer said he had talked with Norm Bjelland today and he does
want to be annexed because he wants to expand, but he can't expand
without city sewer, and he can't expand unless he has an industrial
zoning classification. If he cannot be given an Industrial zone
classification he would not want to be annexed and he is aware of
his right and the statute. He is going to talk with City Service
and get them to do the same.
After further discussion, C. Nystul asked if the annexation could go
through without those 2 lots. It was decided that could be done.
•MOTION: C. Nystul moved the Committee recommend to the Council that
we continue our annexation as B-2 except those parcels owned by City
Service and the bullet manufacturing plant. C. Atkinson seconded.
Motion passed unanimously.
There was a discussion of the Miller property and why it is not
being annexed to the City. It was decided to work on annexing it at
a future time.
Fee Proposal - Hockaday
This will be discussed at a future time when Mike has more information.

Mike Baker reported the City has received the grant for reclamation
of Lawrence Park in the amount of $170,260. He said that would be
for 1990-91, and that would give the City some time to plan what the
$20,000 in -kind services would be. This pertains to the gravel hill
and road relocation.
Mike said the swimming pool is scheduled to open June 9, they had
sent out 6,000 brochures to schools, etc. The tennis program will
start June 12. Day camps have been scheduled for July and August.
C. Furlong asked about this. Mike said it is a recreation day camp
at a cost of $35 for in -city, $38 for out -of -city, for a week of
swimming lessons, games, activities, etc. C. Furlong asked why the
•committee had not been informed of this. Mike said he would keep
the committee informed from now on of what he is doing.

Soccer
•The soccer agreement was discussed. The letter from Dan Johns was
discussed, Mike said he had talked with Dan since then and everything
was ironed out. C. Nystul said he was unaware of any letter and
requested a copy.
There was a discussion about the parks staff, the recreation coordinator
and the Green Thumb person, how they were being paid and where the
fees for the day camps, bike safety class, etc. would go.
