Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, September 2, 2015 Page 15 other infractions to address over time for things that had yet to be included or 713 acknowledged to-date. 714 Member Murphy noted the advertisement of electrical hook-ups, not currently in use; and 715 opined that from his perspective, this was not a good site for refer connections, 716 suggesting that an additional condition be applied that no electricity shall be supplied to 717 trailers under this IU. 718 Mr. Paschke concurred that would be a valid additional condition. 719 At the request of Member Murphy, Mr. Paschke reviewed the potential timeframe to 720 determine if the building remained or was razed, advising that at some point the owner 721 would determine if the upkeep was costing more than the building was worth, but 722 suggested leaving that decision up to the property owner versus conditioning it as part of 723 this IU. 724 At the request of Member Murphy, Mr. Paschke advised that the conditions of approval 725 would initiate upon approval of the IU for completion within a reasonable time depending 726 on the weather and approval process yet this fall. 727 Member Bull sought clarification of where the trailers will actually be parked, as some are 728 stored in the south lot next to the building, but it was also conditioned that IU approval 729 required a property line setback of a minimum of 30’ between the trailers and building. 730 Mr. Paschke clarified that this condition was looking at those trailers parked next to the 731 building; similar to the aerial map and was intended to address traffic flow on the site by 732 relocating the drive lane running along the building. Mr. Paschke opined that whether or 733 not the trailers could still be positioned there remained an unknown at this time. 734 Chair Boguszewski suggested minor tweaking of recommended condition 1.d to clarify 735 their location of at least 30’ from the building. 736 At the request of Member Bull, Mr. Paschke clarified staff’s interpretation of the front yard 737 requiring 70’ setback; and clarified that it wasn’t an arbitrary location for the front yard 738 given the history of that site and what the City desired and did not desire in a commercial 739 front yard. 740 Chair Boguszewski suggested further tweaking of conditions stating “no trailer parked 741 further west of the line drawn in front of the building requiring a 70’ setback” that would 742 prevent theoretically extending the face of the building. 743 Member Bull asked if there was available definition of hazardous or dangerous materials 744 with the intent to eliminate any vagueness of that requirement. 745 While unsure of the actual definition, Mr. Paschke advised that it would address anything 746 potentially combustible or erodible. 747 Member Murphy noted that the Fire Marshal would be well versed in that definition and all 748 it entailed. 749 Regarding the “Big Blue Box” reference in the packet, Member Stellmach sought 750 clarification of what that meant. 751 Mr. Paschke advised that this was the owner of the current trailers located on the site. 752 At the request of Member Stellmach, Mr. Paschke confirmed that the IU could be 753 terminated if the approval is not complied with at any time during the three year term. 754 At the request of Chair Boguszewski, Mr. Paschke reviewed the process for such a 755 termination, including an initial written notice to the applicant of the violation of 756 noncompliance with one or more conditions seeking their immediate remedy; and if not 757 done, seeking formal termination of the IU itself in accordance with the legal due process 758 followed by the City Attorney’s office, and similar to other applications requiring approval 759 of the Commission through a public hearing process and subsequent City Council action, 760
