Case #18: <br /> <br />Request for Site Plan Review of Riverview Office Suites; Case of Warren <br />Hokanson and Russell Olsen <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik advised that Warren Hokanson and Russell Olsen are <br />proposing to construct a 10,097-square-foot multi-tenant office building on the property <br />generally located on Riverdale Drive at Alpaca Street. The subject property is zoned B-2; office <br />buildings are a permitted use in this district. The lot in question is approximately 1.5 acres in <br />size. The proposed site plan meets the required front, rear, and side yard setbacks. A revised <br />landscaping plan has been submitted that meets the intent of City Code. The grading plan is <br />acceptable. The proposed addition appears to meet architectural standards for finish materials. <br />The Planning Commission and City Staff recommend site plan approval contingent upon <br />compliance with City Staff Review Letter dated August 29, 2003, revised September 19, 2003. <br />Community Development Director Frolik advised that a resident raised concern with the pond so <br />the City Engineer recommends the pond be reduced in size to accommodate one 100-year event. <br />This moves the pond back from Alpaca Street and allows more room for landscaping. The <br />resident asked that the pond be fenced; however, staff does not find that is necessary since it will <br />most times be dry and is only three feet deep. <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Olson asked if there is a provision in the development <br />agreement to require connecting to sewer and water. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik stated she does not think there is but that is usually <br />included in rural areas to require them to connect to water and sewer within two years of it <br />becoming available. <br /> <br />Mr. Russell Olsen, applicant, asked if there are plans to run sewer and water through there any <br />time soon. <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Olson stated there are no current plans but that provision has <br />always been required in rural subdivisions. <br /> <br />Mr. Olsen stated he understands that provision. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Kurak, seconded by Councilmember Strommen, to grant approval of <br />the proposed site plan for construction of a multi-tenant office building contingent upon <br />compliance with City Staff Review Letter dated August 29, 2003, revised September 19, 2003, <br />and revised to include the requirement to connect to water and sewer within in two years of it <br />becoming available. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, and Councilmembers Kurak, Strommen, Cook, <br />Pearson, and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmember Elvig. <br /> <br />Case #22: <br /> <br />Request for a Zoning Amendment to Chapter 9, Section 9.11.04 Home <br />Occupations; Case of Lonny Menard <br /> <br />This item was tabled upon adoption of the agenda. <br /> <br />City Council/September 23, 2003 <br /> Page 38 of 41 <br /> <br /> <br />
