port/on of the property. Ms. Frolik stated that the required setback in rural residential neighborhoods is 10 feet; the required setback in commercial districts is 20 feet. It has been the City's policy to impose commercial standards on the commercial portions of these P.U.D. lots. Mr. Sjoquist is proposing to locate the building 10 feet from the west property line. He states that moving the building 10 feet to create a 20 foot setback fi:om the west property line will require moving the structure south nearer the wetland to facilitate easy drive-in access on the north side of the building. Mr. Sjoquist does not plan to build until the spring of 1998, and plans to apply for a side yard setback variance at that time. The building is proposed to be finished with vinyl siding like the principal commercial structure and the home on the property. The Planning Commission and City staff are recommending site plan approval. Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to approve the proposed site plan for Mike's Woodworking contingent upon compliance with City Staff Review Letter dated October 2, 1997, and obtaining a variance to the side yard setback requirement. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Beyer, Beahen and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Absent: Mayor Gamec (left the chambers). Councilmember Zimmerman is now presiding the meeting as Mayor Gamec is out of the Council Chambers. Case #2: Request for Site Plan Approval; Case of Mike Leblanc Zoning Administrator Frolik reported that Mike Leblanc is requesting site plan review to construct an auto detail shop in the Pineview Estates 2nd Addition P.U.D. This P.U.D. is zoned for a combination of residential and commercial uses. Mr. Leblanc is proposing to construct a 1,416 square foot commercial structure to house his auto detail business, which equates to a .02% building coverage on the commercial portion of the lot. This is in accordance with our general commercial regulation of restricting building coverage to 30% of the commercial property size. The covenants for the Pineview Estates restricts the front 200 feet of the property for the residential use. Mr. Leblanc's commercial building is proposed to be set back 200 feet from the front property line. The building will be finished with vinyl siding and brick wainscot on the north wall facing 149th Avenue. Access is proposed along the east property line. Mr. Leblanc will furnish the City with confirmation that the other homeowners in the P.U.D. do not object to his placement of the driveway on the east property line and he also has to provide a written statement agreeing to accommodate a driveway along the west property line in the event a residential/commercial use on Lot 1 requires it. City staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval. Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to grant site plan approval to Mr. Leblanc's site plan for Lot 2 in Pineview Estates 2nd Addition P.U.D. contingent upon compliance with City staff review letter dated October 16, 1997. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Beahen, Beyer and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Absent: Mayor Gamec. City Council/October 28, 1997 Page 5 of 16
