AWARDS, PRESENTATIONS & APPEARANCES 1. None VI. OLD BUSINESS th 1. Appeal of Zoning Administrator Decision-Witzel Companies, 7129 20 Avenue Lighting Nuisance Administrator Statz explained that several months ago, he, acting as the Zoning Administrator issued a letter to Witzel Companies regarding their exterior lighting, stating that it was causing a public nuisance and requiring the nuisance to be mitigated. Mr. Witzel, owner, of Witzel Companies subsequently appealed that decision and was heard by the appeal board (the P&Z Commission). During the hearing, Mr. Witzel agreed to mitigate the situation by installing a Page 1 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission March 10, 2020 shield or different fixture, screening the light from the neighbors. With this promise, the P&Z Commission tabled the appeal. To date Mr. Witzel has not completed this task. After a brief discussion, the P&Z Commission took action as detailed below. Motion by Commissioner Fehrenbacher, seconded by Commissioner Haiden to affirm the decision of the Zoning Administrator. All in favor. Motion carried. 2. Off Street Parking in Downtown Staff presented various arrangements of on and off-street parking for the 3 locations in downtown that will be affected by the street reconstruction project. The Commission discussed these parking spaces, the business impacts of eliminating them and the connection to the downtown master plan. The consensus was to trade these parking spaces for parallel spaces, in accordance with the Downtown Master Plan, where practical. The downtown street project, is programmed to build some parallel parking on the south side of Sorel St. to accommodate a future business on the first floor of an apartment building and adding parallel parking spaces along the north side of Sorel St. from Centerville Rd to Progress St and in front of the church's property would compliment that arrangement. Motion by Commissioner Fehrenbacher, seconded by Commissioner Haiden to recommend utilizing parallel on-street parking to replace non-conforming spaces lost to the street reconstruction, where feasible. All in favor. Motion carried. 3. Centerville Storage-Revised Site Plan Staff presented a revised site layout for the proposed Centerville Storage project. It removes the northernmost building and extends the two middle buildings to the north about 40 feet each. This is done because they could not reach an agreement with the neighboring property owner to the north to vacate the ingress/egress easement. The new layout does not increase impervious area, the number of units or expand the footprint of the development. In some areas, there is a reduction in the impacts. Motion by Commissioner Haiden, seconded by Commissioner Fehrenbacher to recommend approval the revised site plan as presented. All in favor. Motion carried. VII. NEW BUSINESS nd 1. Old Mill Estates 2 Addition nd Staff presented the proposed final plat for Old Mill Estates 2 Addition. The Final Plat is similar in nature to the Preliminary Plat, approved by City Council. Motion by Commissioner Olson, seconded by Commissioner Krueger to recommend nd approval of the Final Plat for Old Mill Estates 2 Addition. All in favor. Motion carried. 2. Interim Ordinance-Group Living Uses Page 2 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission March 10, 2020 Administrator Statz explained to the commission that there was a likelihood that the city could see another application for a Memory Care Facility similar in nature to Atlas Villas, but potentially much larger. Given the fact that Atlas Villas was approved via an Interim Use Permit, for the purposes of monitoring their fist year of operation, to get a sense of their impact on community resources, it was city staff’s concern that adding additional facilities to the city under the same circumstances, magnified the risk of unintended difficulties dealing with these establishments. Therefore, staff is recommending an interim ordinance to allow time for the city to evaluate the performance of their first such facility, so they may better regulate future ones. The commission understood the position of staff and after some discussion came to a consensus to support the interim ordinance. Motion by Commissioner Fehrenbacher, seconded by Commissioner Krueger to recommend approval of the interim ordinance as presented. All in favor. Motion carried. VIII. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 1. None IX.
