has indicated that he will submit a revised plan that replaces the vinyl with a masonry material. She advised City sewer and water will be .constructed through the Town Center site this summer, across Highway 10 to the intersection of Highway 10 and Armstrong Boulevard, about 400 feet from the site. She stated Staff anticipates that services will be at this intersection in October 2004. The proposed site plan will be required to hoop up to City services. Associate Planner Geisler explained that because many of the outstanding issues with the sit plan could have a large impact on the overall site design, Staff was going to recommend tabling the request. However, Staff has been working with the applicant over the last few days and has agreement on the major issues, so they are recommending approval. She noted the applicant has agreed to hook up to City services rather than have a septic system. Co~nmission Input Chairperson Nixt asked if hooking up to City services would delay operation. City Engineer Jankowski stated they are anticipating sewer and water will be across Armstrong Boulevard by October. He indicated he had a discussion with the applicant and that will be reasonably close to the time he would take occupancy. Chairperson Nixt asked what siding material would be used. Jeff Johnson, ReMax stated three sides would be block, with the front brick. Chairperson Nixt asked if the revised landscape plan was acceptable. Associate Plam~er Geisler stated Staff has not yet reviewed the revised plan, however it is available. Commissioner Brauer asked if the applicant was okay with the utility agreement. Mr. Johnson stated he is. He indicated they were to close on the property in September, so October or November would be okay. Chairperson Nixt stated he remembered that Pleasuretand had their pond in back, and the fence was requested because of that. He stated if there is supposed to be a 50 foot bufferyard, and the building is only 35 feet from the property line, how Staff proposes they get the 50 feet. Mr. Johnson indicated the septic area is gone. He stated he would like to see a fence recommended because if he has to extend the parking area there will be fewer issues. Chairperson Nixt asked if the fence gives them relief from the plantings. Associate Planner Geisler stated it gives them a 10% break. She indicated Pleasureland is putting in their fencing soon, and she believes it will be a white vinyl privacy fence. PlO Planning Commission/May 6, 2004 Page 10 of 22
