along all sides of the building. Member Klausing asked if moving the building three feet further (six feet total) from the property line would be a hindrance to development. (Yes) Mr. Olson suggested a retaining wall along the pond. Lawrence Mathe 1081 Harriet Lane, stated the building could act as a sound barrier and wind block. Larie Koranda, 1956 Lexington, adjacent to the north side of the building noted that there are delivery trucks at all hours. The lighting on the tower will affect her bedrooms. The privacy fence should be extended to screen her yard. John Olson noted that proposed lighting will be less than spotlights on the building walls. Bill Brisley noted the tower light will be diffused through a calwall window. Wayne Griesel prepared a list of minimum requriements including landscaping, finish on the east wall, no motorized vehicles on the Rose Villa Property; drainage not to effect the landscape plan. He noted there has been no town home association meeting. Tim Cook and sister Peggy, do not want to see a strip mall on the site. The site is in a B-1 zone. A B-1 zone provides a buffer to neighborhoods. There are safety, parking and traffic concerns. The space is not big enough. There is disruption with the construction. Peggy Jones, 1088 Ryan, noted that her south view is "open", but will be a brick building higher than the existing building. Long term what will the impact on her property values be. Safety, privacy and security, as well as, noise and dust are concerns. She requested a fence along the south edge. Judy Florine commented that property values and salability may change because of the view of the wall. Acting Chair Rhody closed the hearing. Member Cunningham asked for details regarding the ponding area at the northwest corners of the site. Is there possibility for a storm pipe to the west (Lexington). Deb Bloom noted storm water on the roof must be diverted to the west. Member Mulder noted there will be less water running east because of roof drainage which channels water to the west and to the storm sewers. Acting Chair Rhody expressed concern with 3-foot setback. The impact will be enormous. This a key corner; Rose Villa is part of it. Olson should work more with neighbors regarding impact of wall. There needs to be more consensus. Member Mulder asked for more details on the uses that would be permitted (B-1 or less). He expressed concern with 3- foot setback. He asked that the tower be lowered. Member Wilke suggested working with surrounding property on more details with a larger setback along the east side. Motion 1: Member Wilke moved, seconded by Member Cunningham, to continue the public hearing to the Planning Commission meeting of April 14, 1999. Member Cunningham said this development has a lot to offer the corner of Roselawn and Lexington. There are ways to improve the design and increase the setback along the east and north wall of the building. Member Olson expressed concerns about minimal setbacks and that all landscaping be done on the Cryogenic site (instead of on adjoining properties). Member Cunningham noted that more building height may be available on the site. Member Klausing stated he was not sure improvements can be made - "a square peg in a round hole"; too big, too much in the wrong place. Ayes: Olson, Cunningham, Wilke, Klausing, Mulder, Rhody Nays: None Motion Carried 6-0.
