Mr. Schmidt assured the commission that the curb issue would be corrected prior to pulling his permits. Regarding tree heights along the rear property line he was advised by landscapers to not exceed 7-foot plantings to achieve the fastest growth possible. He pointed out that the front landscape beds showed the requested landscaping added. Mr. Malone indicated that the requested front emerald green arborvitaes were added but he would not support the proposal unless 8 to 10 foot tall Norway spruce (Picea Abies) trees or Blue spruce (Picea Pungens) trees are used and planted 20-foot on centers along the entire length of the rear property line that abuts I-480. Mr. Schmidt stated he would be able to accommodate 8 foot trees. J. Lasko moved to approve the proposal for Exit 2 Storage of 31399 Industrial Parkway which consists of adding an outside storage area with the following conditions: 1. Plans are to show curbs to be continuous cast-in-place concrete curbs along the perimeter of the parking places in accordance to city codes. 2. The southern/rear property line is to have either 8-foot tall Norway spruce or Blue spruce trees planted 20-foot on center. New plans are to be submitted showing the conditions prior to permits being issued. G. Malone seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved. V. NEW BUSINESS: 1. Consolidation Plat for (Michael Malone); 23841 Frank Street: (WRD # 2) The proposal is to consolidate Permanent Parcel Numbers 231-24-023 (0.15 acre), 231-24-043 (0.14 acre), 231-24-044 (0.14 acre) and 231-25-002 (0.14 acre) into one parcel. The consolidated parcel will be 24,199.15 square feet (0.5555 acre). The location is on the south side of Frank Street approximately 425 feet west of Clague Road. Zoning is C, Residence, Single. The existing parcel number 231-24-023 does not conform to the width, depth or area requirements of the Zoning Code. The required width is 60 feet, and the actual width is 50 feet. The required depth is 135 feet, and the actual depth is 127.57 feet. The required area is 8,700 square feet, and the actual area is approximately 6,530 square feet. The consolidated lot will conform to the depth and area requirements of the Zoning Code but not to the width requirement. Existing Permanent Parcel Numbers 231-24-043, 231-24-044 and 231-25-002 are landlocked. Ms. Wenger reported that the proposed consolidation would bring the final parcel closer to conformance to City's Zoning Codes than what it currently is. The consolidation would also provide access to parcels which are landlocked. Mr. O'Malley advised that once a consolidation plat is approved by the commission the plat requires multiple signatures from City officials and then must be filed downtown with the County Recorders office which takes time. Therefore the applicant has requested he be allowed to be issued a building permit right away if the consolidation plat is approved by the commission. It could be part of the commission's motion to allow the Building Commissioner to issue the building permit prior to the plat being recorded if the plat is approved. Mr. Michael Malone advised that he first applied for his permit two months ago and would like to get the project started. It is his intent to create an addition on to his existing home and consolidating the lots would keep him from requiring variances. Commissioners had no objections to the applicants request to consolidate his parcels. J. Lasko moved to approve Michael Malone of 23841 Frank Street his request to consolidate Permanent Parcel Numbers 231-24-023, 231-24-043, 231-24-044 and 231-25-002 into one parcel. Furthermore, the Building Department upon the Planning & Design Commission granting the consolidation is hereby within its authority to issue the building permit prior to 2
