stated they would be open to putting up directional signs as well as possible and make that an entrance only. Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Brauer to recommend that the City Council grant approval of the proposed site plan for construction of an R.V. Sales and Service Center contingent upon compliance with City Staff Review Letter dated September 24, 2003, and with the following additional conditions: 1. The applicant work with City Staff on resolution of appropriate landscaping and screening on the south side to come up with acceptable options for the trash enclosure and LP tank, leaning toward using a fence. 2. The applicant work with City Staffon curb cut and access issues. 3. The lighting plan is in compliance with City Code. Mr. Lund asked to approach the Commission on this matter. He commended the Commission for how they hax;e handled the planning and zoning for the Town Center. He believes they have done a good job. He indicated the only thing he. sees with the approval is there seems to be a lot of conditions, and the public does not know if they are ever met. He was told Pleasureland was supposed to contact him, and they have not. He stated he received plans that seem quite old, and since he received those plans he has seen surveyors in his ditch. He has concerns also about lighting and noise factors, and asked if the holding pond location has changed from the July plans. He also wondered if the fence would be a cyclone fence or a privacy fence. Chairperson Nixt stated if the fence is used for screening it will be aesthetically appealing. Mr. Lund indicated if they have to plant trees anyway, maybe they could plant some on the outside of the fence. He indicated he wants to see the most recent plans because he does not want them encroaching on his land. City Engineer Jankowski stated the current drainage comes north and south into the site through an easement that occupies Mr. Lund's backyard. He indicated Staff has directed the applicant to outlet it into a ditch on Alpaca Street, however for a short space the ditch north of Mr. Lund's driveway is the highpoint. He stated that because of this, part of the recommendation is to re- grade the ditch and provide and outlet under the driveway. Chairperson Nixt added a fourth condition to the motion: 4. The applicant shall work with City Staff and Mr. Lund to see how the pond and drainage will adversely impact plantings on Mr. Lund's property. Commissioner Brauer seconded the amended motion. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, Commissioners Brauer, Johnson, Shepherd, Van Scoy and Watson. Voting No: None. Absent: None. Planning Commission/October 2, 2003 Page 14 of 18
