Sketch Plan Review, Charles Cabinet Company (Jim and Deb Scheier) - Proposed expansion of non-conforming use at 3090 Cleveland Avenue North. Chairperson Wietecki described the sketch plan review process. City Planner Kim Lee reviewed the proposal of Jim and Deb Schrier. There is a home, a rental home, and a cabinet business on the site. The business is a non- conforming use and the structure is non-conforming. The zoning is R-1. She explained the Comprehensive Plan designation for the site as low density residential. Chairperson Wietecki asked what type of zoning this would be (Light Industrial). Even a PUD would have to carry an industrial use within an R-1 area. Jim and Deb Scheier, 3090 Cleveland Avenue, noted that in their cabinet making shop, finishing and painting is done off-site. There were four employees when he bought the business, now there are nine employees. Sales have doubled in the last eight years, but now he must turn business away. The building size is inhibiting the expansion of the business; space is needed to lay out the projects. The jobs are getting much larger. Jim Scheier stated he owns two houses. He visited 100 homes within the adjoining neighborhood; 78 signed a petition of support. The building does have footings to support the new building and be sprinklered. The shop is felt to be in a “transitional” area of Roseville. They propose an exterior designed to look like a residence. More employees would be hired after the expansion. Member Harms asked if Scheier had looked at other sites in the area. Scheier 14
