(late) Jim Worthington, 1055 Montana Avenue Cal Cumin, City Planner Cheryll Lund, City Secretary Motion by Billielou Lance, seconded by Merrill Watkins, to approve the minutes of the June 9, 1994 meeting. Motion carried. Motion by Lonnie Kellogg, seconded by Billielou Lance, to approve the bill for administrative services for $400.00 for July and August of 1994. Motion carried. Minor Plat- Laurel Industrial Park-SEG Credit Union Jim Worthington was present representing the SEG Credit Union for the minor plat review. The location of the land is on S.E. 4th, directly north of Northwest Toppers. The Credit Union purchased the land with the idea of constructing a building on lot 5-A and selling lot 5-B. Lot 5-A is approximately 3/4 of an acre. Water and sewer lines are available on both S.E. 4th and Washington Avenue. Curb, gutter and paved street are located on the south and east of the lots. Power lines and gas lines are also available on both streets also. The property is zoned Highway Commercial and located in an area already served by many businesses. Cal stated that this was a well done drawing and presentation by Jim Worthington. A question was raised about the off street parking requirements. Cal stated that this is well defined in our building requirements and will be addressed at the time the building is constructed. 1 Don Gudgell states that S.E. 4th Street is a poor street. The pavement is sunk in every spot where the sewer and water lines are placed. Jim states that the maintenance department does need to go in and fill in the spots that have sunk. He states that the City does have future plans to do so. Cal then went through the County Planning Department's list of additional suggestions on this minor plat. (see attached) Jim states that he has no problem incorporating most of the suggestions. Cal states that we do not have to abide by the county's suggestions. This minor plat is located within the city limits of Laurel. We are under no obligation to the county on this plat. Motion by Billielou Lance, seconded by Gerald Shay, that we recommend approval of this minor plat for SEG Credit Union, to the City Council. Motion carried unanimously. The Home Occupation for day care was tabled until the September meeting because the applicant did not come to the meeting. Cal would like to make some changes to the Home Occupation application because he has not gotten a fully completed application for quite awhile. Cal would like to give some consideration to the neighbors involved in living next to the proposed home occupations. Most of the applicants don't ever bother to fill in question number 8 on the application, which addresses neighbors and whether or not they are aware of the application. Cal also stated that unless the application is filled in completely and properly, he is going to refuse it. Cal will work up what changes he would like to see made on the application and bring it to the September 9th meeting. Motion by Lonnie Kellogg, seconded by Billielou Lance, to have Cal review the Home Occupation application and make changes concerning notifying the adjacent property owners. Motion carried. Discussion on the proposal for tanning beds to be put in at the Design Hair studio. This is slated to go before the Board of Adjustments on August 17th at 7:00 p.m. Cal invited the members to come sit in on the discussion. Cal spoke about the air navigation easement permits. There have been several homes built up in the airport area, before our board recommended the permit for air navigation easements. Cal has been trying to get a hold of the people owning those home and is having a hard time tracking them down. He has had a few people that have signed the easement with no problems. 2 Discussion on the vacating of streets and alleys, and the exchanging of money for that street and/or alley. Cal will draw up an ordinance on this issue and the board can discuss it at the September 9th meeting. Discussion on the ingress and egress in subdivisions. Don Gudgell questioned what control we have over the ingress and egress on subdivisions. Without any control anyone can build along, for example, Airport Road, which is a highly traveled road. Before long there could be many approaches, which would make driving along the road (with a 55 mph speed limit) dangerous. Cal states that the only way we can control this is to address it when it comes to us for subdivision review. Cal also suggested that Don go visit with the County Surveyor, Jim Logan. He would like to have Don report back to us at the September meeting what Mr. Logan says. Chuck Dickerson wonders why Airport Road is not getting the maintenance attention, from the County, that it needs. Jim Ziegler states that he will check on the status of the road, where it is on the list to be fixed, and if money is available to do so. Chuck also suggested that we invite Mr. Logan to a Planning Board meeting and ask him these questions personally. Don Gudgell suggests we get a list together on all of the problems with the county roads, such as poor signage, bridges in need of repair, culverts and roads in need of repair. Cal suggested that Don take the list of complaints to Jim Logan. Motion by Don Gudgell, seconded by Gerald Shay, to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 7:45 p.m. Respectfully submitted, i Cher 1 Lund, Secretary 3 TO: CAL CUMIN, PLANNING DIItECTOR FROM: BARRY MARSH, SUBDIVISION COORDINATOR DATE: AUGUST 15, 1994 AMENDMENT OF LOT 5, BLOCK 1, LAUREL INDUSTRIAL PARK SUBDIVISION 1.
