Member Mulder stated they could swing the building along the north property linewith only the side elevation to be seen from the park. Member Wilke asked to explain the zoning. Member Cunningham asked that both options be considered and multiple views of the proposals be available. No formal public comment was accepted at this meeting. Dennis Welsch explained the process. 7b.Sketch Plan Review. Planning File 2986. Jim and Deb Schreier (Charles Cabinet Company Inc.) Request for sketch plan review and direction on a zoning ordinance amendment to allow the expansion of a non-conforming commercial use at 2090 Cleveland Avenue North. Dennis Welsch explained the text amendment process. Jim and Deb Schreier explained the needs of Charles Cabinet Company and the growth of the company. The cabinet jobs are much larger today than in the past. He explained the proposals for design and expansion of the building. The Schreiers requested the text amendment or a rezoning to some type of transitional zone. The proposal looks “residential” according to Schreier, who owns the two homes north of this site. Chair Harms asked what would happen if Schreiers needed to expand a second time. Schreier stated he would not expand the second time at this site, but expand to another site. Member Mulder stated that the next use is the problem (as a non-conforming use). Mulder would prefer spot rezoning to creating larger non-conforming structures. Chair Harms noted that industrial and residential cannot work well together. Can a Planned Unit Development be set up that guarantees that other housing would be removed. Attempt a PUD for his parcels (two houses and a business). Member Rhody suggested that the Schreier proposal be part of a small P.U.D. Chair Harms noted that a P.U.D. must be strict and eliminate the houses on the site. The uses must be clearly identified. Schreier should set the pace for the future of the entire area. 7
