March 6, 2001 <br /> Planning and Zoning Minutes <br /> Mr. March stated that there was a possibility that the City could allow mini-storage in a <br /> Commercial Zoning � District rather than in the Industrial Park; however, Mr. Hoeft <br /> � recommended allowing mini-storage as a Special Use in the Industrial Park. <br /> ' Mr. Sager felt that the construction of the facility complying with the industrial <br /> , requirements was financially unobtainable. <br /> � Council Liaison Broussard Vickers questioned the allowable Commercial Uses and Mr. <br /> ' March reviewed same. <br /> , Commissioner Brainard stated that he was uncomfortable with allowing mini-storage <br /> facilities to be constructed on Commercial property. <br /> Commissioner DeVine questioned the tax valuation of the proposed facility and Mr. <br /> Sadelack stated approximately $600,000 to $840,000 excluding land. Mr. Sager <br /> estimated the value to be approximately $1 million including land and the four (4) <br /> proposed buildings. Mr. �Sadelack stated that the value would be higher if a sprinkler <br /> system was required. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers calculated the value of the <br /> building to be approximately $20 per square foot. <br /> Commissioner Brainard stated there is a metropolitan standard of average costs that can <br /> be obtained from the League of Minnesota Cities but stated he believes $20 to be below <br /> that average. <br /> Commissioner Brainard that stated he believed pole barn construction was more prone to <br /> damage caused by vandalism than a concrete structure would be. Council Liaison <br /> Broussard Vickers stated fire is a major concern with pole barn construction. <br /> Commissioner Brainard stated that he desired to remain with concrete construction inside <br /> and out, and the use of heavy gauge garage doors. Commissioner Brainard felt that $20 <br /> per square foot was a very low valuation. <br /> Chairperson Hanson stated it was the consensus of the Commission at the workshop to <br /> require that mini-storage be allowed only in the Industrial Park and be required to be built <br /> , to the construction requirements of same. Consensus was that industrial construction <br /> ' requirements would remain the same. <br /> Mr. March recommended that the developer consider starting with two (2) buildings <br /> instead of four (4), suggesting that may make construction of the facility feasible. <br /> Chairperson Hanson stated that the office area would need to meet City, State and <br /> Federal requirements. <br /> The Commission requested that the developer inform them whether they were going to <br /> proceed with construction of the facility considering the industrial requirements. It was <br /> determined that a public hearing process would not be entered into until such time. <br /> Page 4 of 8 <br />
