2. Bay View Villas —Planned Unit Development/Conditional Use Permit (PUD/CUP)
Revision/Amendment
Ms. Bender stated that City Attorney Glaser has submitted a recommendation for action
regarding the previously approved PUD for CUP associated with Bay View Villas. She
stated that a recent meeting between staff, Mr. Tom Budzynski (TJB Homes), Mr. Jim Boo
and Mr. Rich DeFoe had taken place and the Attorney's recommendation stems from those
discussions to allow lap pools and hot tubs to be installed on a patio or underneath decks of
the homes within the development. City Attorney Glaser along with the Developer agreed
that safety fencing would be allowed around the pool or hot tub rather than the perimeter of
the lot reducing clutter or adverse sightlines on the smaller lots. He further stated that the
Homeowner's Association would restrict the height of safety fencing around these "lap
pools" or"hot tubs" to be 4 feet and regulate the type and styles of these fences.
Mr. Rich DeFoe, 7265 Main Street, stated that he intended on purchasing a lot within the
Bay View Villas development and desired to have a full sized pool. He stated that at the
time of the above meeting he misunderstood the definition of water-oriented accessory
structures and accessory structures. He did not realize that he would not be allowed to
install a full sized pool with required fencing.
Ms. Bender contacted City Attorney Glaser via telephone for clarification of language
contained in his recommendation. City Attorney Glaser stated that Mr. DeFoe's current
property and swimming pool are and will be allowed with the develop. However, if Mr.
DeFoe is intending on purchasing a lot within the Bay View Villas development full sized
pools and required fencing would not be allowed by the HOA.
Lengthy discussion was had regarding the timeframe for making a decision on the item.
Mr. DeFoe requested that a decision sooner would be better for all concerned as marketing
of the homes is essential.
Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the possibility of the Commission making
recommendation to Council to approve the recommendations of City Attorney Glaser at
this time and Mr. DeFoe coming back to the Commission at a later date requesting full
sized pools or whether the items should be tabled to formalize the inclusion of full sized
pools.
Motion by Commissioner Broussard Vickers, seconded by Commissioner Haiden to
Table this item Recommending Council to Take Action if Deemed Suitable with the
Inclusion of Swimming Pools. All in favor. Motion carried.
The Commission did desire to acknowledge their support for Mr. DeFoe and the
installation of a full size swimming pool on one larger lot.

VII. NEW BUSINESS
1. Interim Use Permit—Rehbein's Black Dirt
Action was taken on this item following the closed of the public hearing.
Motion by Commissioner Broussard Vickers, seconded by Commissioner Ganzel
Recommend to Council Approval of the presented Interim Use Permit based on the

2. 20th Avenue/Commerce Drive Zoning Discussion
Mr. Phil Carlson stated that Midwest Best Water, Inc. is interested in purchasing 7030 —
20'h Avenue/2061 Commerce Drive to operate their assemble and warehouse operation.
Ms. Bender reported that they have submitted a purchase agreement, it has been discussed
at Council and Council has authorized staff to negotiate a purchase price. She stated that
staff is unaware if an agreeable purchase price has been secured. Mr. Carlson stated that
the property is currently zoned B-1 (Commercial) and does not believe that this business
fits into any Use Category and Use Types for the district. He stated that a more proper
zoning would be I-1 (Industrial). He referred the Commission to his submitted
memorandum and possible recommendations for assisting this company and the City in
long-term zoning strategies.
He explained that the City could rezone the property to I-1 (Industrial) which fits the
assembly and warehousing portion of the business, but it would need to encompass
additional parcels otherwise it could appear to be spot zoning. He stated that rezoning
2065 Commerce Drive would seem appropriate along with the City's parcel south of the
site, the Sheehy parcel and that portion of the Rehbein parcel that is bisected with zoning
of B-1 & Z-1. He also discussed that the Commission has discussed a "Service District" or
may incorporate a new zoning district which would allow for optimum usage along with
marketing trends.
Mr. Carlson's discussion also contained previous discussions regarding mini-storage and
an allowable zoning district other than I-1 (Industrial).
Mr. Carlson stated that it is important to determine the zoning desired by the negotiating
party as the sale of the property could be dependent upon same. However, he also
cautioned the Commission as to a purchasers desire to "have their cake and eat it too". He
stated that the Commission should always consider the reasonableness of the zoning.
Lengthy discussion was had regarding the timing of needed modifications, the required
public hearings if modifications were made for zoning or code modification and the
addition of a new district, whether the use fit existing zoning with a conditional use permit
as being determined as same or similar uses as the existing code.
Council Liaison Koski stated that a Light Industrial zone may be fitting for both this
business and mini-storage and the Commission may desire to look in that direction.

Mr. Carlson stated that a listing of permitted uses, conditional uses and under what
conditions those could be granted would be the perfect world and should be taken under
advisement.
Commissioner Broussard Vickers requested that Staff provide suggested Zoning Districts
and neighboring communities of similar size districts so that the Commission had an
opportunity for review.
Motion by Commissioner Broussard Vickers, seconded by Commissioner Ganzel to
Schedule a Work Session to Discuss Zoning Districts, Use Category and Use Types
for districts and Reviewing Neighboring Communities of Similar Size Districts in the
near Future. All in favor. Motion carried.
