. . . - Planning Office Hours May 6, 1987 e Page 4 Dave Janlsch retrieved the Councl.l's license appro"al with conditlons, which note that toe drlve alen and front of the property on Rice St:cct l.S to be redone Wl.th poured in place concrete curb, and that there shall be a SlX root high, wood opaque fence on the property line on th~ west, north, and south s~des of the parccl up to a line extcnded along the rear (west) sl.de of the buildlng. ~ I prepared a sketch lndlcatlng the way 1.( which the mlght be bUllt, wlth t~o, twenty-four foot driveways the cu~bing back to the sldcwalk at the front buildl.ng, and to thc parking areas to the north and the buildlng. curbing carrying of the south of Mr. Schaar seemed reluctant to do this much work. I noted that if this were a new structule or more than flfty percent expans1on, the entire parklng area would be required to be curbed. He also wanted to bUlld the fence to the south of hlS southwest corner across the contlguous property, so as to prevent people from walklng through the properties toward the lake. I suggested that the Counc1l approval, as proposed, would have to be ~arrled out, and that staff could not makc any adjustments to thlS requirement. 7. Chrismer. 427-3586* Tom Chrlsmer is wlth Holmes Frelght Lines, Inc., who are proposing to lease somc of the frelght tcrmlnal space from Twln City Frelght Company on the west sl.de of 3SW. Ia our meetings with Twin City Freight owners, we have been encouraging them to stay, and operate their facility untll such time as the land is marketable for mult1-storied office sturctures. TCF is proposlng to lease space to Holmes Frcight Lines (the east end of the building). These folks need some additional office space during the term of this lease. The lease lS set for two years. The proposal is to park a 56' x 12' mobilc offl.ce, parked cont.i.guous to thc bUJ.ldlng, parallel to the truck parking spaces on the north side of the structure. I suggested that this could be accompllshed through dn application for a temporary bu~lding through ~he Councll. It would appear that a mobile office park in this way would be relatively incon- spicuous in&srr.uch as lt would be among other tractor/trailer units utilizing the loadlng doors both east and west of this location, contiguous to the bU1ld1ng. It would seem approprl!tc for the Clty to asslst the land- owner In helpl.ng to lease the buildlng for an inter1m period of tlme, rather than having them attempt to do a "forced sale" before the property lS ripe for lts more lntensive quality use for offlCe structurcs ln accordance wlth the zoning proposed for the land.
