Mr. Fritsinger stated no action <br /> was necessary, as this item would be discussed as part of the 1998 Budget discussions. <br /> B. Planning Case #97-09, Frattalone's Ace Hardware, 3527 Lexington Avenue, Special <br /> 1 Use Permit (SUP) Amendment <br /> 1 C. Planning Case #95-16, Balfany Development Company, 2035 Thorn Drive, <br /> Preliminary & Final Plat, Oakridge Homes <br /> 1 Mr. Ringwald gave a brief overview of these two cases, beginning with #95-16, Balfany <br /> Development Company Preliminary/Final Plat. He stated the Planning Commission <br /> recommended approval of the applicant's request for Preliminary Plat approval on July 2, 1996. <br /> 1 This approval expired on October 29, 1996 (six months). Therefore, the applicant was required <br /> to receive Preliminary Plat approval again. Mr. Ringwald stated that the applicant had provided <br /> Staff with the updated Abstract of Title on June 26,1997, but Staffhas not had adequate time to <br /> 1 review the document. Also, the development contract for the Final Plat had not yet been <br /> finalized. Therefore, Staff was recommending that only the Preliminary Plat be approved at this <br /> time. Staff was hopeful that the remaining item could be resolved shortly and the Final Plat <br /> 1 approved at the July 14, 1997, City Council meeting. <br /> Ie Mr. Ringwald also gave an overview of Planning Case #97-09, requesting approval ofa Special <br /> Use Permit for Frattalone's Ace Hardware to operate an outdoor garden center. The applicant <br /> had informed Staff that the fence would be four feet (4') in height. Also, Staff had counted the <br /> 1 actual number of spaces in the parking lot, which were found to be incorrect in the initial <br /> calculations. The spaces had been recalculated, with the result being overall parking on the site <br /> being reduced to 402 stalls, which was three (3) less than what was required by the original SUP. <br /> 1 Mr. Ringwald further stated that in providing its recommendations for Case #97-09, the Planning <br /> Commission had attempted to link the conditions to a specific business, in order to exclude the <br /> 1 majority of these types of requests. Mr. Ringwald further stated that all the buildings in this <br /> development were occupied, and parking appeared to always be plentiful in this parking lot. , <br /> 1 Mayor Probst requested clarification if the sale of Christmas trees would be permitted under this <br /> use, as the phrase "outdoor garden center" was used. Mr. Ringwald replied that this would be <br /> allowed, as the area in question would be permanently fenced and linked to the building. <br /> 1 MOTION: Hicks moved and Keim seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #97-09, <br /> . SUP Amendment, with the seven (7) Planning Commission recommendations. <br /> The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> 1 Mayor Probst inquired if the owner of Balfany Development Company approved of the amount <br /> to be paid as park dedication fees for Planning Case #95-16, as stated in the letter from Ms. <br /> Cindy Walsh, the City's Parks and Recreation Director, dated June 12, 1997.
