Dear Paul:
The Gem Lake Planning Commission met Thursday, June 24, 1993 at
5:00 p.m. at Tousley Ford. Present were Gardner, Bemis, & Leider.
Dick Hiniker had requested the meeting to discuss the
landscaping agreement, and the positioning of the new entrance
sign. Both Tom Bennett and Ron Glassman, owners, were also
present.
Tousley wishes to postpone completion of part of the landscaping
project as they are currently moving toward a final plan for the
new property. The Commission agreed to defer completion of the
landscaping in front of the pole barn, and to allow the temporary
sales office to remain in place, until August 24th, at which time
Tousley will have a definitive plan for the property. Tousley also
submitted a different design concept for the planters to surround
the light posts. The Commission agreed to revise the landscaping
agreement to include this new design, and to limit the number of
planters required to the poles along County Road E which are
visible from the street. Also, Tousley agreed to plant 7
additional trees in the boulevard. The planting is otherwise
substantially complete, except for sod.
The entrance sign will be located in the median strip in the new
entrance way. Tousley may apply for a variance to allow the sign
to extend to within 18 1/2 feet of the curb, but if not, the sign
must not extend beyond 27 1/2 feet (approx) from the curb; the
difference being the approximate 9 feet of road right-of-way being
used for the 20' setback.
Respectful submitted,
David Gardner, Chairman
Gem/Lake Planning Commission
