Mr. Matthew Mull, 5590 148 Lane NW, stated he works with associations and repairs <br />• townhomes. He has seen people buy townhomes and turn around and rent them out. He would <br />want to be sure that would not happen with these townhomes. <br />Chairperson Nixt indicated the rental of the units would need to be addressed with the developer <br />through the covenants for the development. <br />Associate Planner Dalnes indicated the City has a rental licensing program that requires units that <br />are purchased and rented to be licensed through the City. Other than this requirement the City <br />cannot restrict the rental of units; this is something that would need to be addressed specifically <br />in the townhome development covenants. <br />Mr. Mull stated fire trucks would be another concern in relation to the road access. The state is <br />trying to eliminate cul -de -sacs because of that issue. <br />Chairperson Nixt replied the Fire Chief will provide comments as part of the site plan review <br />- process. <br />Mr. Mike Kraus stated he lives in the house directly adjacent and west of this proposed project. <br />This plan has three units backed right up to his backyard. He does not think anyone would be <br />against putting in four single family houses instead of townhomes stacked up two stories high <br />backed up to their houses. <br />• <br />Mr. Jeff McCorison, 5571 148" Lane NW, inquired about the possibility of the City allocating <br />funds to purchase this property to turn into a park due to the special spot and the number of <br />children in the neighborhood. He commented a park would likely be a better fit than townhomes. <br />Chairperson Nixt indicated this is a possibiliTy that could be referred to the Park Board. <br />Chairperson Nixt recommended the applicant work with staff and determine if the sketch plan <br />can be redesigned based on the comments that have been provided. <br />Case #4: Public Hearing — Request for an Interim Use Permit to Allow Outdoor <br />Storage of Surplus Recreational Vehicles and /or Travel Trailers in the E -1 <br />Employment District; Case of RV World, Inc. <br />Chairperson Nixt closed the regular portion of the Planning Commission meeting at 8:07 p.m. in <br />order to call the public hearing to order. <br />Public Hearing <br />Chairperson Nixt called the public hearing to order at 8:07 p.m. <br />Presentation - <br />Planning Commission /January 4, 2007 <br />Page 11 of 35 <br />—13— <br />
