OLD BUSINESS:
Fun Beverage — Old School Station — PJ spoke with the architect but has not heard back from
them yet. Greg Lukasic from Morrison-Maierle said they have taken care of most of these and
are issuing a revised plan on Monday. The fire department will need to check off on their fire
accesses. Public Works is still waiting on their mechanical engineer to furnish us with the flow
rates and chemical concentrations of what is flowing out of the truck washing facility. Greg
stated that they probably won't be doing the truck washing facility right away, but he is aware
that they will still need to pay the system development fee. Fire will need some clarification
regarding the battery room, etc.
NEW BUSINESS:
McDonalds — 1110 Highway 2 West — remodel — no addition. They will be changing their
parking and drive-thru lanes so there are some site issues on this, but primarily internal
remodeling. They will need sidewalks and landscaping on the north side of the property along
the highway. Lights will need to be brought into compliance. They will be changing their
parking to angle parking. This is passed through Site Review.
Osborne — 111 Main Street (old VFW; convert to coffee bar) — internal remodel. This will go
through Architectural Review next week. It is not clear if they are coming back with an internal
demolition permit. Public Works will need to see their existing plumbing floor plan to show
what they are taking out and what they are adding.
Scotty's — 2245 Highway 93 South; restaurant expansion — new addition. They never completed
their parking with the last addition. There may be a shortage on parking. They will have a two-
hour wall. Setbacks do not look like they are in compliance for a shed that they recently moved.
They have a previous agreement for seven additional spaces available from Culligan for use after
5:30 p.m. This will be on the agenda next week.
2210 Hwy. 93 S/Daley Field, Lot A — new retail — 8,000 square feet, one story, one retail liquor
store and one unnamed tenant space. They will need to continue the curb and gutter around their
parking lot. There needs to be sidewalks on each end. Landscaping was discussed. They will
need a Lighting Plan and a Landscaping Plan. They should put in a pedestrian access to Highway
93 across the access road. They will need a culvert to accommodate the drainage swale. PJ will
check on their parking layout and see how it works with the culvert. Fire may need a
hammerhead turn around. They will need curbing along the widget. This will be on the agenda
next week.
Western Building Center — 3rd Avenue East; addition — Preliminary review — 3rd Avenue East
and 18th Street East. They are taking out the existing storage building and putting on an addition
to the north, and adding a covered storage area in the back of the building with a metal roof and
columns (a lean-to). The storage in the back will be built first. Sprinklering requirements and
the timing of when the storage area will be sprinklered was discussed. The whole project will be
completed in 2006. Parking will be improved. They will need to put in sidewalks on 18th Street
East. They will have it resurveyed. Parking counts and dimensions will need to be looked at.
Some remainder property along the south of the access road to the storage units would be
landscaping/drainage. When this does come in, they will need a Landscaping Plan and a Lighting
Plan. This will also go through Architectural Review. Discussion was held regarding the riser
for the sprinklering system in the new warehouse building in the back.
