The plat creates two new commercial lots from the original 5.97 acres.
Lot one houses the CCS facility, and proposed lot two is for commercial development. Any future development on lot two would be subject to review and approval.
The board also approved a zoning ordinance amendment that includes rules for fences. It says fences are not allowed to be erected within the space horizontally 10 feet from the travel surface of a street and three feet of the travel surface of an alley and vertically between three feet and eight feet high.
For residential districts there are no setback requirements except as required for vision or clearance as provided in the ordinance. The ordinance says no fence in the front yard is allowed to exceed four feet in height and no fence in the back or side yard is allowed to exceed six feet. Fences placed in a front yard must be decorative and may not be a privacy or chain link fence.
The board also reviewed an East Market Street Neighborhood Sub Area Plan and Bike and Pedestrian Plan that is part of the city’s comprehensive plan it is working on that was presented during Monday’s meeting by Brad Johnson, Ground Rules.
The plan includes creating a bike path from Market Street to McKinley Street.
Johnson discussed the Little Crow property and said the city could market it.
“You would have to find a unique buyer for the property. People want immediate usable space,” Johnson said.
The Gatke property also was discussed. A study was done that said the property could not be used for residential use due to water quality issues, Johnson said.
Johnson discussed Argonne Road and he said it is important to get curbs installed and define parking spaces along the road better.
A public hearing on the plan will be at the commission’s Dec. 8 meeting.[[In-content Ad]]
