New Business: Request of Dale Bergman for a Conditional Use Permit for the Construction of Land Altering Activities Associated with the Construction of a Parking Area, Retaining Walls, and the Installation of a Holding Tank Beneath the Parking at N82W28285 Marshall Drive – Tax Key MRTT0336-011 – Chairman Klink stated this conditional use is only for the land altering activity. A motion for the approval of the request for land altering activities associated with the construction of a parking area, retaining wall, and the installation of a holding tank beneath the parking area as requested by Dale Bergman subject to Town and County Staff comments was made by Commissioners Siepmann/Good. Motion carried. Request for a Conditional Use Permit to Operate a Small Food Production Facility in the Preparation, Bottling, and Distribution of Ketchup and Sauces that will be Distributed to Wholesalers, Retailers and Restaurants at W335N6805 Stone Bank Road – Requested by Evan Lampsa – Tax Key MRTT0362-986 – Planner Haroldson stated they would give this conditional use permit under the other uses in the Town’s conditional use permit because it’s zoned B-2, but it’s a special use in a facility that is existing. Attorney Van Kleunen said the Planner had some comments that should be part of the conditional use permit that will be brought back to make sure it meets everything that is expected. Attorney Van Kleunen suggested to the Plan Commissioners that the applicant provide some kind of verification from the owner that they would be allowed to add a certain amount of parking spaces on the western parcel, whether it’s a parking easement agreement or some kind of arrangement, with the thought being that one day it could be a different owner that could say they don’t have seven spaces and could be a potential problem especially with how close this is to the right-of-way and the intersection. Commissioner Griffin said he doesn’t think the other conditions would be with these gentlemen. If the Town has concerns with what Maynard is doing with his parking lot, that should be separate; we should have him come in. A motion to approve the conditional use permit on this property with the condition that a formal written permit is reviewed and approved by the Plan Commission at the next Plan Commission Meeting and that permit will include all of the staff comments that were referenced with the additional condition that a parking agreement or easement be presented to allow for seven vehicles to park on the western lot was made by Commissioners Siepmann/Queoff. Motion carried. Planner Report – Marilyn Haroldson – No report. DPW Director Report – Paul Griffin – No report. A motion to adjourn was made by Commissioners Griffin/Queoff. Motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 6:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Holly R Claas, Deputy Clerk
