Case #3: Request for Approval of Proposed Site Improvements; Case of Duke Grosslein, G-B Properties Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that Duke Grosslein owns the building at 6228 Highway #10 NW. The Grossleins' are proposing to make some site improvements to the property before leasing it again. On May 4, 1999, the Planning Commission reviewed the site improvements proposed and negotiated with Mr. Grosslein for some curbing on the south and west property line around the new pavement to be laid and adding some plantings to the rock boulevards along Tungsten and Riverdale in lieu of the 20' green space Code requires along public roads. On May 11, 1999, the site plan proposal was reviewed by the City Council. At that time, Mr. Grosslein indicated that per the recommendation of the Planning Commission, he was willing to provide curbing on the south and west perimeter of new pavement on the south side of the building. However, he was not in favor of installing curbing around the perimeter of the pavement on the north side of the building that is proposed to be receiving an overlay. He also offered to provide the green space as required by Code along Tungsten and Riverdale by removing the existing landscape rock and replacing it with underground irrigation and turf. At the May 11 meeting, some of the Councilmembers expressed concern with the fact that the proposed site improvements and upgrades did not include installation of curbing around the existing pavement. Council tabled action on the request until tonight's meeting to give them an opportunity to inspect the site prior to making a decision. Ms. Frolik noted that Duke and Dana Grosslein are present. Councilmember Zimmerman stated he does not have a problem with existing properties and curb and gutter, but if it is new construction, he feels it should be curbed at that time. Mayor Gamec stated that Mr. Grosslein is not proposing any new buildings, he is cleaning up the area and doing some blacktopping. He inquired if it was actually City Council/May 25, 1999 Page 7 of 25
