Planning & Zoning Commission - Regular Meeting

I would like to call this meeting to order.

All right. It is 634. Chairman Steve Dyer. Russell Lanzuski. Here. Ryan Hebel. Kyle Cook. Here. Tom McConnell.

Here.

Do we have any public comment on items not on the agenda? Do we have any speaker slips?

I have no speaker slips, and both the applicants are here. Perfect.

Okay. Hearing none, moving on to item number three, approval of the minutes from May 12th, 2026.

I'll make a motion to approve the minutes.

I'll second.

Everyone was here, so are all in favor? Yes.

Moving on to item number four, application 52926, variance for 321 Green Acres Drive.

Our applicant is here. Do you have any questions from the board?

No questions. Have we got anything from the staff board or anything like that?

We're really just adding a small shed for extra storage to get some garage space.

Yeah, the staff report, it's pretty simple. He exceeds the...

I mean, they technically bought the house already exceeding the block coverage, so it's really not unknown.

Yeah, it's kind of like, that's what I was thinking too when I read through it.

So that's why I was looking through that.

The proper procedure is a variance.

Yeah.

Why Mr. Pfister is here. Mr. Pfister is over there.

Yeah.

Howdy. Thank you for coming, Mr. Pfister. I was going to say, I don't know if you guys don't have anything. No.

No. The first thing when I started reading it, I was looking for, is this okay with the Homeowners Association that's over there? And there's a letter in there saying that's approved. Yeah. Being just what you said, it was already a little bit over anyways. The Homeowners Association is good with it, and...

I'll make a motion to approve application 5-29-26, Variance 321, Green Acres Drive, lot coverage.

I'll second that.

Kyle Cook?

Yes.

Todd McConnell?

Yes.

Mark Solonczewski?

Yes.

You're approved, Mr. Pfister. Thank you.

And thank you for coming.

I appreciate it.

A lot of times applicants don't show up, so thank you.

He's a little hard of hearing. He said thank you for coming.

A lot of applicants don't show up. I appreciate it.

I will email you the approval tomorrow.

For a lot of years. I will email you tomorrow the approval.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's a good looking shed. It's a good looking shed.

All right, moving on to application 5-22-26, conditional use. It is to be in 56 South Main Street. Have a good night. You too. You too, thank you. Sorry, multifamily.

I had no questions on this. I mean, it's congruent with everything else that's going on up there.

There's already residents.

Literally next door on both sides.

In the uptown anyways. Yeah. So... To me, it kind of goes along with what's already going on with it, just like what you just said, Mr. Cook.

The only question I had was, are you adding windows to the front of the building?

Yes. Not to the front. Not right now. That will be the second phase. Okay. Yes, there will be windows when we go to that part.

I've been battling to hear you guys because I'm hard of hearing, so I don't know what y'all are saying.

So, yeah, the windows will be put on, but that will be – In the future. Okay. In the front. In the back, there's going to be windows for the apartment. Sure. So that's in the front. We're going to wait a couple years. Unless I fall into some way.

And obviously the apartments are just upstairs.

Yes, yes.

Yeah, I was at this. The cost on this is significant too, so.

Yeah.

Yeah, I look back like 20 years and never saw windows in the front. I'm like, why was there not windows in the front of this building?

Originally, the front of the building fell off back in the 70s. Okay. That's what happened.

Then that makes sense. It was compromised during a fire, and they had to rebuild it.

They had to rebuild it. Yeah. That makes sense. In the back part, what we bought were apartments, so I'm going to put the back part the way it was, and then when I move to the front and get there, it's not there.

There was a couple of pieces in here. I don't know if you guys want to address or anything of trash recycling, building access. I know parking is something we can do about parking. It's kind of a given. Is there trash removal on-site, or how are you going to handle trash?

They'll have a dumpster in the back.

So it's consistent with that. And I'm assuming building access is through the front door, or there's back access, or both?

Front access, and then the back access will be... I have nothing else.

That's good. Do you have anything else on there?

No, you asked a couple questions I was going to ask about the entryways and such, making sure that those were good and clear. Anything else from the city? Nope. Sounds good.

One thing, this is for the conditional use. So this approves the use for the apartments. If you make any exterior changes to the building, like you were saying, maybe windows or anything like that, you will have to get back a hold of us and go in front of the design review board. Okay. She's saying aside from the permit, you have to get approval, right? Yes.

For the windows. Yeah.

It'll have to go before the design review board just for any exterior changes. Okay. So...

And if you have any questions prior to, you know, hit up staff. Our design guidelines are online, too, so that'll help you.

I'll make a motion to approve application 52226, conditional use. I'll second.

Mark Solonzuski.

Yes.

Kyle Cook. Yes. Kyle McConnell.

Yes. Yes.

Thank you.

Have a good night. Thank you.

I'll email you the signed application and permit approval. Okay. All right. Thank you.

Thank you all. Thanks for investing in the city. Yes. What's that? I said thank you for investing in the city.

Oh, yeah, definitely. Hey, we're stuck here.

We're kind of stuck. Okay. Do we have any other business? I don't have any. Hearing none, I'll make a motion to adjourn. I second.

ALL IN FAVOR?

AYE.
