ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - September 6, 2000 4 Acting Chair Nelson expressed concern that the fencing will not be the same height as the oxidizer. He added he would wish the screening requirements to be tightened for future enforcement. e Commissioner Galatowitsch expressed concern that four separate units could be screened in different ways. She stated she would wish all the units to be screened in a consistent manner. She added that since the Commission could not go back and make them consistent, it would be necessary to do whatever was done before to ensure consistency. Acting Chair Nelson asked whether the applicant might resubmit their proposal for the previous planning case if wire and vinyl fencing were approved in this case. Mr. Hall stated that would not be a problem. Acting Chair Nelson stated he was inquiring whether the applicant might consider resubmittal after approval is granted. Acting Chair Nelson asked whether screening was approved recently for the other buildings on site in the last few years. Ms. Chaput stated screening might have been included under Planning Case #97-06. Commissioner Sand stated the applicant can consider re-applying for approval to change the requirements for other on-site screening and ensure consistency. Mr. Bulich asked whether his company can operate the equipment before a final decision is made by the Council. Ms. Chaput stated it might be an issue for the building inspector as screening .- was a requirement of approval. Commissioner Sand stated the applicant can not legally operate ., the equipment until Council approval is granted as the planning case involves both placement and screening ofthe equipment. He added the Council meets September 25,2000.
