MIHDTBS OF THE PIANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 17, 1989 <br />ZONING PILE #1389-MARDOCX CONTINUED <br />located in approximately the same location as the pre-existing <br />deck. Planning Commissioner Hanson stated that the Mardocks were <br />neighbors of his. He said that at the time he purchased his lot, <br />in 1976, the Mardock home was existing and did have a deck at <br />that time. He confirmed that that deck was located as Gaffron <br />had estimated. He further stated that due to the peculiarity of <br />the lot and the location of the wetland, the deck provided the <br />Mardocks with usable space without affecting neighboring <br />properties. <br />There were no comments from the public regarding this matter <br />and the public hearing was closed. <br />It was moved by Planning Commissioner Cohen, seconded by <br />Planning Commissioner Moos, to recommend approval of the after- <br />the-fact setback variance for a deck. Motion, Ayes»6, Nays*0, <br />Motion passed. <br />#1390 U.S. WEST COMMUNICATIONS <br />2845 WEAR CIRCLE <br />CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT <br />PUBLIC HEARING 7:55 P.M. TO 8:00 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were <br />duly noted. <br />Mr. Dan Ressler, Network Facilities Engineer for U.S. West <br />Communications, was present for this matter. <br />Chairman Kelley asked why screening had to occur behind the <br />utility structure rather than in front. Zoning Administrator <br />Mabusth said that was due to the need to access the structure to <br />maintain it. Mr. Ressler added that as long as the structure <br />could be accessed from the road, he could screen up to a 4* <br />width. Kelley asked about a barrier to prevent cars from running <br />into the structure? Mr. Ressler said that the pylons would be an <br />eyesore and their proposal calls for a ditch to be placed in <br />front of the structure. <br />Kelley inquired as to the size of the arborvitae being <br />planted and suggested that they be as high as the structure. Mr. <br />Ressler indicated that they would be willing to comply with the <br />City's wishes. Kelley recommended planting 3 additional trees <br />and making them 3* high. <br />There were no comments from the public regarding this matter <br />and the public hearing was closed. <br />It was moved by Chairman Kelley, seconded by Planning <br />Commissioner Johnson, to recommend approval of the Conditional <br />Use Permit for U.S. West Communications and that 3' high <br />arborvitae be planted. Motion, Ayes*6, Nays*0, Motion passed.
