CITY OF SPRINGVILLE Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes of August 18, 2009 Chairperson Heeren called the regular meeting to order at 6:02 pm at the Springville City Hall. Present: Heeren, Koppenhaver, Teig, Pearson and Gerdemann. Two seats remain vacant. Motion by Koppenhaver, second by Pearson approving minutes of the July 14, 2009 meeting. All ayes, motion carried. New Business: Re-zoning Request: Bill Burkle and attorney Guy Booth were present requesting condominium units be allowed in C-2, Highway Commercial Zoning District. Burkle intends to convert the building at 258 Broadway into condominium units. Condominiums are not specifically referenced in Highway Commercial zoning code for Springville. Commission member felt condominiums should be referenced in the C-3, Mixed Use Commercial Residential District. C-3, Mixed Use Commercial Residential lists multi-family dwellings as a permitted principal use. It was also found that residential apartments are to be above the first floor. No apartments are to be located on the first floor. Burkle converted the bed and breakfast area on the first floor to apartments. This would also call for an amendment to the zoning code. Lengthy discussion took place. Members are not all in agreement on allowing condominiums in a business/commercial district. Booth noted this is the new wave in restoration of downtown business districts in many cities, including Cedar Rapids. Discussion continued. Consensus was to schedule a public hearing for September 15th, 2009 for the purpose of re-zoning the rental property at 258 Broadway to C-3, Mixed Use Commercial Residential District and add residential first floor apartments to the list of permitted principal uses. Most members felt that the term multi-family dwellings under permitted principal uses would be inclusive of condominiums. Motion was made by Pearson, 2nd by Koppenhaver setting September 15, 2009 at 6:00 pm as the time and date for a public hearing on said changes to the zoning code. All aye, motion carried. Old Business: Finalization of Inspection Services for New Construction: members continued work on the fee schedule for building permits. Bixler will have the changes in format for the next meeting. Building Permit Report: reviewed by the board. Vacancies: New members are needed to fill the vacant positions. Correspondence &/or Comments: none. Next meeting date: September 15, 2009.

CITY
OF SPRINGVILLE Chairperson Carol Frisch called the regular meeting to order at 7:00 pm at the Springville City Hall. Present: Koppenhaver, Heeren, Frisch, and Tieg. Hill, Vogel and Lucas were absent. Also present: Mark Woods and Ron Hoover. Motion by Koppenhaver, second by Heeren to approve the minutes from July 08, 2008 meeting. Ayes all, motion carried. Old Business: Inspection Services For New Construction: Ron Hoover of Marion was present for discussion on Springville contracting with Marion for building inspection services. Ron gave information on how this concept is carried out with other local communities including Robins and Alburnett. He also presented examples of ordinances needed to establish the building inspection concept in Springville. Aspects of a contract for services were also discussed. The group also discussed how the administration end of the proposal would be handled by City Hall. Ron will gather more information, including editions of the International Building Code and the International Residential Code for the September meeting. Casey’s: Bixler reported the Casey’s building permit application has been approved upon advice of the City Attorney and City Engineer. As Springville only has a zoning code and not a building code the P&Z cannot legally attach stipulations to a permit that are not contained in the code. In reference to the old Casey’s - they will be required to adhere to any nuisance regulations the City has in place. The Commission reviewed correspondence from Kelly Read, Store Development Administrator addressing concerns the Commission expressed about what would happen to the old Casey’s when the new store opened. Building Permit Report: Motion by Heeren, second by Tieg to table until next month. Fee Schedule for Building Permits: Colleen gave a brief history of the project to date. The Commission reviewed and discussed a copy of the building permit fee schedule. The Commission considers the schedule completed and will submit it to the Council with their recommendation for inspection services from Marion when those requirements completed. Wendling Quarries Annexation: Representatives from SEDC and Wendling Quarries will be present at the September meeting. Bixler was instructed to contact residents affected by the proposed annexation so they may also attend the meeting. 4” Rolled Curb Request: the City Engineer has a standing meeting the same night as the P&Z meetings. At the September meeting an October meeting date will be set to coincide with attendance by Steve Laughlin. New Business: Colleen Vogel has resigned her seat on the Commission. A new member will be sought to fill the vacant seat. Correspondence &/or Comments: Bixler asked for feedback from the Commission on the request from Ruth Archibald to erect an aluminum carport. Ruth needs the carport as winter protection for her car as she is physically unable to access her garage in the winter. Springville Zoning Code does not address the new aluminum and/or fabric buildings. Bixler related the structure as needed to be set in the driveway would probably not meet setback requirements and has told Ruth it could not in anyway be a permanent structure. As comparable structures have been noted at other residences in Springville members agreed they could not deny what is an essential need for Archibald, but agreed it cannot be a permanent structure. Bixler reported that the terms of Koppenhaver, Teig and Lucas have expired and asked that they be reappointed. This will be on the September agenda Next meeting date: September 9, 2008. Meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m. by Chairperson Frisch. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CITY OF
SPRINGVILLE Chairperson Carol Frisch called the regular meeting to order at 7:00 pm at the Springville City Hall. Present: Koppenhaver, Rick Heeren, Frisch, Lucas, Tieg and Vogel. Hill was absent. Also present: Mark Woods and Chad Sands. Motion by Heeren, second by Koppenhaver to approve the minutes from June13, 2008 meeting. Ayes all, motion carried Old Business: The building permit report was reviewed. Casey’s: Bixler gave an update on the status of the proposed Casey’s General Store to be constructed on S. 6th Street. Lengthy discussion took place on ramifications of a new Casey’s site in Springville. Concerns were voiced on abandonment of the old store and neighborhood friendliness of the new store. The Board instructed Bixler to address the following concerns with Casey’s in the permit process: removal of the underground gas tanks removal of pedestal and sign testing of soil using EPA standards removal of “can building” these stipulations to take place within 6 months of occupancy of the new building. Required within one year of occupancy: pump islands to be removed and the building torn down if not sold at that time. The new building must address candle strength and reflective ness of the outdoor lighting. Noise control must be addressed. Also, the need for a turning lane onto the lot to address traffic safety issues. Bixler will contact the City Attorney and Engineer for approval of these requirements and for help in putting the requirements in context to be attached to the building permit. Motion was made by Heeren, second by Koppenhaver directing Bixler proceed with the development of a document with these requirements as an addition to the building permit. All ayes, motion carried. Inspection Services: tabled. New Business: Fee Schedule for Building Permits: tabled. Wendling Quarries Annexation: Chad Sands was present for discussion on amending the M-2 Industrial zoning ordinance to permit operation of quarries within the city limits. Sands reviewed with the Board the original Linn County conditional use permit and the amended use permit and reclamation document of June 2000. Heeren believes there is a boundary agreement with Marion that should also be researched. The Commission has many questions which can only be answered by a Wendling Quarry representative. Tieg was assigned to request a member of SEDC and Wendling Quarries be present at the September 9th meeting for discussion on the annexation request. 4” Rolled Curb Request: Mark Woods was present requesting the Commission consider amending the subdivision ordinance in reference to 6” vertical curbing. The current does not allow for 4” rolled curb. Shoemaker and Haaland will be contacted for assistance. Correspondence &/or Comments: none. Next meeting date: August 12, 2008. Meeting was adjourned at 8:42 p.m. by Chairperson Frisch. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
