existing drainage area. A revised site plan has been requested that indicates an easement in these areas. Mr. Trudgeon advised staff recommends approval of the site plan contingent upon compliance with City Staff Review letter dated March 28, 2006, revised April 21, 2006, and the Developer entering into a TIF Agreement. Councilmember Elvig inquired about the back portion of the building being leased out, as there is no access in this area. Community Development Director Trudgeon replied the applicant has indicated the back portion of the building currently will not be used, and they will explore leasing it out. It would likely be used for a warehouse or storage use. Councilmember Elvig inquired if staff has any concerns regarding the leasing arrangement. Community Development Director Trudgeon replied whether the applicant uses the full building or the back part is leased, the use must be in conformance with the zoning code, and there must be adequate turning circulation. Councilmember Elvig suggested staff inform the applicant that the sunken area depicted on the site plan facing directly northwest will fill with snow in the winter when it is windy. Motion by Councilmember Jeffrey, seconded by Councilmember Pearson, to grant approval of the proposed site plan of Riverside Manufacturing; Case of Stone Construction, contingent upon compliance with City Staff Review Letter dated March 28, 2006, revised April 21, 2006. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Jeffrey, Pearson, Cook, Elvig, Olson, and Strommen. Voting No: None. Case #6: Request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Monopole Communications Tower; Case of Cingular Wireless, Inc. Community Development Director Trudgeon stated the City has received an application from Cingular Wireless to construct and operate a monopole communication tower, intended to fill a gap in Cingular's wireless phone network. The proposed tower will be located at 6405 Green Valley Road on property owned by Jeffrey and Caroline Rowe. Towers are permitted in residential districts as long as they are located in the Tower Overlay District and are at least 10 acres in size. The subject property is located within the Tower Overlay District but does not meet the minimum lot size of 10 acres. The subject property is approximately 9.27 acres in size. Mr. Trudgeon explained the minimum lot size in the area is ten acres. As part of the Valley View Estates plat approved in 2000, four lots were created, all less than I0 acres. The original parcel was 38.7 acres and the developer received a variance for Lots 1-3 for lot size and lot width. Lot 4, the subject property, was allowed to be created as a remnant parcel per City Ordinances. It should be noted that when Lot 4 was created, the County requested an additional 27 feet of right-of-way to be dedicated for Green Valley Road (CR 63). If the right-of-way is included, Lot 4 is approximately 10.3 acres. On April 6, 2006, the Board of Adjustment granted a variance to the 10 acre lot size requirement based on the platting history of the property. City Council / April 25, 2006 Page 10 of 23
