City. Park dedication will consist of a cash payment. The required Tree Preservation and Landscal~ Plan has not yet been received by the City; however, the developer has been working With Parks/Utilities Coordinator Boos on this issue. The preliminary plat recommends that Krypton Street N.W. be extended across the County ditch as a through street. The developer has applied for the necessary permits to facilitate this crossing. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmcmber Zimmerman to adopt Resolution g94-03-056 granting final plat approval to Chestnut Ridge contingent upon providing a tree preservation plan and complying with LRRWMO permit requirements. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councilmembers Peterson, Zimmerman, Beyer and, Hardin. Voting No: None. Case #17: Request for a Conditional Use Permit to Establish and Operate a Self-Service Storage Facility in the B-3 Highway Business District; Case of William Dubats City Administrator Schroeder stated that Mr. Bill Dubats is attempting to acquire Lot 3 of Riverside'West to establish and operate a self-storage facility. Contingent upon meeting DNR approval, Staff is recommending approval of this CUP. Mr. Schroeder noted that this proposal is within the tax development economic district but not in the tax increment financing ~strict. The tax proceeds continue to go to the local jurisdictions. Since it is in a TIF development district, we have suggested within the development agreement that the City's economic development agency could contribute toward development of the project. Staff is suggesting the developer double the tree planting plan. We are proposing to cause the developer to put improvements in place and the City would pay the developer back a portion of'the cost. Drainage concerns amount to about three percent of the project cost. Councilmcmber Zimmerman stated he would be in agreement with the use of the property, but he has reservations about paying for some of the screening. He felt this would be "opening up a can of worms" and the City will have everyone asking for money for this type of thing. Councilmember Beyer agreed with Councilmember Zimmerman's statement and suggested that the money is intended for drainage improvements, etc., not planting. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Mayor Gilbertson to adopt the findings of fact relating to William Dubats' request for a conditional use permit to establish and operate self-service storage facilities on Lot 3, Block 3, Riverside West. Motion failed. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson and Councilmember Peterson. Voting No: Councilmembers Beyer and Zimmerman. Abstain: Councilmember Hardin. Mr. Schroeder understood that the concern expressed by Councilmember Zimmerman was with regard to the landscape portion of the findings of fact. Councilmember Zimmerman stated that this money should be used to participate in more major items such as roads, sewer, etc. Mr. Schroeder stated that it appears there is a consensus with regard to providing funds for drainage. Councilmember Zimmerman added that if Mr. Dubats meets City Code with regard to screening '.and there is no subsidy for that by the City, he would vote for approval of the findings. Mr. Sehroeder suggested amending paragraph 5 of the findings and to amend the development agreement related to the screening and City subsidy of it. City Council/March 22, 1994 Page 11 of 14
