Henzel went over the site plan with the member of Planning and Zoning. • He stated they met all setbacks. • The floodplain elevation is still in question with the Engineer. • They have a 2% slope for drainage which is the ideal percentage to have. 1 PLANNING & ZONING - AUGUST 1, 1995 • They are having a soil test done within a week. • The lot is the center of the 3 long vacant lots off of Main Street. • Signs have not been discussed yet, but they will bring it before Planning and Zoning at a later date. • No need for a loading dock. • No outside storage, nothing would be left out overnight. • Dust collection system and a dumpster are outside. • Parking will be on the west side of the building and in front (may move all of parking to west side to make the front more attractive.) • Curb and gutter are a requirement in the parking lot. • Parking lot is set up for semis to turn around, 99% of what comes in will be on semis. • Curb would not be required for the south end of the lot because of future expansion. • There is still a question on the sprinkler system -- do only certain areas require it. They would definitely want one in the Mill room but don't see a need for sprinklers in the cold storage area. • They would like to get started asap. Would like to move in by November. Mayor Wilharber stated he believes it to be a good addition to the city and they are looking at a TIF package. Tourville agreed that it would be good for the city. The lot provides them with a good access to the freeway. Tourville stated the zoning is proper and the building construction meets the ordinances.

AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE 54 (WEEDS) Mayor Wilharber and the Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the ordinance and the pros and cons to amending it. • They city may want to look at distinguishing length of grass growing in residential areas versus commercial and industrial and also for vacant lots. 2 PLANNING & ZONING - AUGUST 1, 1995 • Unmowed lots seem to collect junk -- leftover cement, used tires, wood, etc. • But if you let it grow, trees will grow and could be a benefit. • Unless it is next to a resident and that resident is complaining it shouldn't be a problem. • Need to have uniform enforcement. • Nuisance ordinance may cover some of the complaints. Planning and Zoning members will talk with other residents to get a feel of what they would like. MOTION by Tourville, second by Welk to table for further discussion at a future meeting. Motion carried unanimously. AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE 44A (BUILDING DESHGN) Tourville feels that this should be incorporated into Ordinance 4 in some type of appendix.
