Thursday, August 25, 2011
Lower Level Main Conference Room
201 First Avenue East
ATTENDING:
Jeff Clawson, Building Official Dave Dedman, Acting Fire Chief
Chad Fincher, Parks Superintendent Roger Krauss, Asst. Police Chief
Rebekah Wargo, Asst. Civil Engineer P.J. Sorensen, Chairman
GUESTS: Pam James, property owner of building at 124 Main Street
HEAR THE PUBLIC: None.
PERFORMANCE BOND REMINDERS: None.
OLD BUSINESS: Spring Prairie Phase 3/Kohl's — Hwy 93 N — Wargo stated that Public
Works sent their review comments back to them this week.
NEW BUSINESS: 124 Main Street — new lift platform request. They have a basic 25' wide,
140' deep building on Main Street. This is considered a building addition. They are proposing a
platform lift on the top, which will have security housing around the lift and will be translucent to
give a day -lighting effect. They plan to create an airlock, and make the building "green" and
energy efficient. She did a three level approach with HVAC roofing and lighting, but plans on
making the walls on the addition extra thick so it won't require heating/cooling energy. The
purpose of the lift is to gain access to the roof to provide planter boxes and possibly a water catch
and some solar panels. This is approved through Site Review. The Building Department will
continue to review this on the structural aspects, building, and fire code. This will go to
Architectural Review on the 13th
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS: Nothing for the September meeting. They plan to do a joint
meeting with Council on some annexation issues. We will probably get a text amendment on the
large reader board sign that the mall has, essentially allowing some changes to happen there that
couldn't happen with the current code. They are talking about doing the Public Hearing for this
in October.
OTHER REPORTS: Subway — Fincher stated they want to build a planter box adjacent to the curb
where there is parallel parking, and it would be built 3' high, right against the curb. It will eliminate
parking because the vehicles would be unable to open the passenger side door in two spaces. This is
not allowed in the Landscape Ordinance. There is also concern about the vision triangle area for
parking lot access. The flower bed would be better if they put it on the ground, using the curb and
the sidewalk as their boundary.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 a.m.
