Approval of Minutes: Julie moved to approve September 13 minutes; John seconded.
Approved 5-0.
Old Business:
Shops/Spring Prairie 4 — 2286 Hwy 93 N; relocate garbage enclosure (revision to
approved plans). Looked at different locations. The stretch that they are proposing
probably works best. Janet moved to approve; john seconded. Approved 5-0.
Professional View — 175 Commons Loop. Revision to recently approved plans — adding
one more 100 sq ft enclosed area; balances elevation better. John moved to approve;
Janet seconded. Approved 5-0.
New Business:
City Shops — 1520 lst Ave W; new storage shed. Behind existing shop buildings. Fits
within existing plan. Janet moved to approve; Julie seconded. Approved 5-0.
Mattress Firm — 2286 Hwy 93 N; wall sign. Russ moved to approve; Janet seconded.
Approved 6-0.
Spring Prairie 4/Kidsports — picnic shelters; need additional information. Janet moved
to table; John seconded. Motion to table passed 6-0.
Other Discussion:
The Lofts — 2050 Airport Rd; preliminary comments for 96 unit apartment complex
(conditional use permit application). Seems jammed in there. One lone building is odd.
Angular building is odd. Some randomness is good, and committee appreciates that, but
it feels more like a crammed design than randomness in that it doesn't seem to fit.
Maybe reduce some height and mix 2 story with 3 story sections.
Meeting Adjourned at 8:05 a.m.
