PLANNING CONIMCSSION MEETING,_ JULY 8, 1987 PAGE 2
..-.� Mr . Robinson stated both Mr .�lchef ske and 1� . Freyinger have
petitioned for the rezoning. He stated NFr. Freyinger is the
owner of the apartment complex to the north and wes� Tract B
and Tract C witli the vacant building whi�h he plans
to lease or sell for a restaurant operation. He stated N�.
01che�'ske is the owner of the Riverside Car Wash and wishes to
expand his business.
Mr. Robinson stated there is also a special use permit associated
with the expansion of the car wash facility to allow fuel and oil
dispensing in a C-1 zone. He stated the special use permit, if
approved, will allow the petitioner to commence construction prior
to finalization of the rezoning. He stated the C-1 zone does not
allow for auto related businesses, but the C-2 zone permits this
type of operation with a special use permit.
Mr. Robinson stated there are some problems associated with the
site, mainly dealing with access. He stated there is a shared
aecess on the west of Tract D, bu� Tract C has no other acce�s by
it�.e.lf. He stated there is a private easement between Tracts C and D
which has been recoreYed and;they share a common driveway. He stated the
owner of Traet C would �rant an easement.to Tract D for joint parking.
Mr. Robinson stated staff has drafted a plan for traffic and visual
improvements including landscaping and buffer space between the
� businesses and the apartment complex. He stated it is recommended
the driveway be moved five feet �nd��andscaping be installed with a re-
taining wa11, and delineation of the driveway. Mr. Robinson stated
the petitioners have both agreed to participate in the cost for
these improvements.
Mr. Robinson stated staff is recommending the following stipulations
for Tracts B and C: (1) petitioner agrees to execute a restrictive
covenant agreement against Tract B and C, stating that no automotive
related businesses (service, fuel dispensing, sales, or leasing), as
outlined in the special use �ection of the C-2 code, will be per-
mitted regardless of C-2 zoning status. Completed prior to publication
of rezoning ordinance;-(2) petitioner agrees to refurbish building
including trim painting and roof equipment screening prior to�occuY
pancy; (3) petitioner agrees to install a brick dumpster enclosure
with opaque gate prior to occupancy; (4) petitioner agrees to install
a pylon sign similar to the Riverside Car Wash sign prior to occu-
pancy; (5) petitioner agree.s to install landscaping and automatic
sprinkling, as per City plan dated 7/1/87, on Tracts B and C(except
along west edge) prior to occupancy; (6) petitioner agrees to install
landscape tree wel�s, plantings, and irrigation along the western
edge of Tracts B, C and D, as per City plan dated 7/1/87 by October 31,
1989; (7) petitioner agrees to make parking lot/driveway improvements
including curbing, blacktopping, sealcoating and striping prior to
occupancy; and (8) petitioner agrees to provide joint driveway ease-
ments from Tract B to Tract C and joint driveway and parking easements
�"� from Tract C to Tract D prior to publication of ordinance.
PLANNING CO_1�ILSSION MEETING, JULY 8, 1987 pAGE 3
� Mr. Freyinger stated he is the owner of the apartment complex
adjacent to Tract B and would like to control development on
this corner and is the reason why he is nurchasing the building
on Tract C. He stated he plans to lease this parcel and
interest has been expressed for a pizza or submarine sandwich
establishment. Mr. Freyinger stated he is willing to make a11
the improvements as he would like to see the area improved.
He stated the property as it is now is not a real pride of owner-
ship and the situation is also bad for his apartment complex.
Mr. Betzold asked Mr. Freyinger if he anticipated any future
development for Tract B.
Mr. Freyinger stated at one time, he considered constructing a
tennis court for the apartment complex, however, does not believe
this is a good idea. He stated, in the future, this property
would probably be used for parking as it is close to the main
entrance of the apartments.
Mr. Olehefske stated he appreciated the efforts everyone has made
to improve this corner and felt it would be a good asset for the
community. He stated he has to be careful in �aking changes that
would affect his ability to be successful in this business.
Mr. Kondrick stated he wondered if there would be sufficient space
��.
if the entrance of the car wash was moved.
Mr. Robinson stated there appears to be enough space as it would
actually be 36 feet from the end of the building to the new curbing.
Mr. .Olt�hefske felt there should be a field test to prove cars could
make the turn, if the driveway is relocated. He stated he didn't
want to agree to installing the curbs before it is shown that it is
physically possible to access it.
Mr. Robinson felt this could be tested before the Council meeting to
make sure it is workable.
Mr. Robinson stated staff is recommending the following stipulations
for Tract D: (1) petitioner agrees to refurbish westerly addition
to car wash by adding roof equipment screening and refinishing
facade (roof screening details by owner, approved by staff). Work
to be completed prior to occupancy of proposed addition; (2) easterly
facing overhead doors to be tan colored; (3) petitioner agrees to
provide a brick dumpster enclosure with opaque gate prior to occupancy
of proposed addition; (4) petitioner agrees to install landscaping
and provide automatic sprinkling as per City plan dated 7/1/87 on
Tract D(except along west edge) prior to occupancy of proposed
addition; (5) petitioner agrees to make pa.rking lot/driveway im-
provements including shifting of westerly drive five feet east,
and new curbing, blacktopping and retaining wa11 as indicated on
/'� City plan dated 7/1/87 prior to occupa.ncy of proposed addition.
Driveway and retaining wall details by owner prior to building per-
mits; (6) petitioner agrees to close driveway off of East River Road
(remove hardsurfacing and light fixture and provide landscaping)
P�ANNING COI�LCSSION MEET]NG. JU,LY 8, 1987 pAGE 4
,�, prior to occupancy of proposed addition; and (7) petitioner agrees
to provide joint driveway and planting easements from Tract D to
Tract C prior to publication of rezoning ordinar►ce.
Mr. Robinson stated the County wishes to reduce the ingress and
egress on East River Road, but if this isn't possible, the second
preference would be for an entrance only.
Mr. Kondrick stated at busy times at the car wash, people.are coming
into the wash off Mississippi and if the driveway w�s clo�ed.:on'�East
River Road, he questi:oned-how they would exit.
Mr. Robinson stated this ia the same coMCern-r�ised by the petitioner
who feels the East River Road driveway is necessary for exiting.
Mr. Kondrick stated he would be in favor of leaving the driveway open
possibly with signage to direct traffic.
Mr. Billings stated if the drive�aay on East River Road were an
entrance only, there would be a 1ot of congestion on the �Ia.ssissippi
side with persons trying to enter:anefi exit:.
Mr. Betzold asked Mr.0lchefske what he desired for ingress and
egress.
�--, Mr. Olchefske stated the car wash has been at this location for
approximately 20 years and he has operated it for 10 years and
hasn't had any problems with the e���ances or exits. He stated
there has never been a mishap and it would be a severe hardship
for him to change it.
Mr. Robinson stated, presently, there may not be a problem, but
the proposed expa.nsion will bring the building closer to the
driveway and add additional doors. He stated there is a Potential problem
with children leaving vehicles in the vacuuming area and could
cause further problems when the restaurant facility becomes oper-
ational.
Mr. Phelps, 5755 Washington Street, wondered if the parking for the
restaurant could be placed on Tract B to provide additional space.for
the car wash.site.
Mr. Robinson stated two property owners are involved and two separate
tax parcels so it would be up to the owners. He stated Mr. Frevinger
is granting parking easements for the car wash �.hexe is only a small
unimproved area of the car wash site where possibly four cars could park�
Mr.- Olchef.skestated if a driveway is removed, it makes it more
difficult to access his business and inconvenient for customers.
He stated studies have proved that access should be as simple as
possible so as not to create a hardship for his business.
PLANNING CONIl�lISSION MEETING. JULY 8, 1987 PAGE 5

�� Mr. Billings stated he didn't want to imply he was necessarily in
favor of closing the driveway. He stated, however, he wondered if
there was sufficient stacking room for cars exiting the car wash
and waiting to enter on East River Road.
�''.'`,
�
Mr. Kondrick stated he felt this really isn't a problem as there
is no backi�� of cars leaving the car wash.
Mr. Billings asked Mr. Ol€�hefske his plans for the new addition.
Mr.Olchefsk� stated he would be extending the tunnel approximately
22 feet and adding a polishing and buffing center.
Mr. Billings asked if customers would make appointments for these
services. 1�h�.Olchefske stated if you were going to have the
interior of your car shampooed, an appointment would be necessary.
He stated as far as the polishing, this could possibly be done
without an appointment, if it was not a busy day.
Mr. Kondrick asked if the �olishing and buffing center would be
a separate room. Mr. 0lchefske stated he wanted people to see this
area so there would be visual exposure.
Mr. Robinson stated while there may be other options such as nroviding
an exit farther north on Tract B he felt if the driveway �-
on East River Road is not closed, it should be an exit only.
Mr. Olehefske stated he wanted to continue to be competitive in
his business and if this is what the City desires, he could live
with it .
Mr. Billings stated if the Commission recommended an exit only
on East River Road, he questioned if there would be signage to
direct the patrons.
Mr. Robinson stated it is probably a good idea to ma.rk the one drive
on Mississippi as entrance and the exi� on East Ri�er Road as exit only.
Mr. Betzold stated possibly the access situation should be reviewed
at a later date to see if it is working both from the petitioner's
and the City's standpoint.
Mr. Robinson stated if the Commission wished to review the access
at a future date, stipulation No. 6 for Riverside Car Wash should be
deleted from the rezoning stipulations and included as a stipulation
of the special use permit which is reviewable.

facility by adding 1,252 square feet to the existing building.
He stated Mr. Olehefske intends to use this extra space for uses
associated with his car wash business such as polishing and buffing.
Mr. Robinson stated in conjunction with the rezoning petition by
Mr. Olchefske and Mr. Freyinger, Mr. Freyinger will make available
ten parking stalls on the west end of his lot for this operation.
He stated in order to facilitate the building program for Mr. 01e-
chefske a bu3.lding permit would be issued under C-1 and would be
valid under the C-2 zoning when it is completed.
Mr. Robinson stated staff is recommending the following stipulations:
(1) owner agrees to manage the car wash operation in such a way as
to not require greater than 10 spaces of parking. In the event of
a shortage, parallel parking may be required on the north side of
the building; (2) special use permi.t, SP ��87-15, is contingent u.pon

property.and, based on recent information, there is the possibility
this could be a public easement. He stated if this is the case,
a vacation would be necessary before the building is constructed.
He stated staff would suggest the Commission recommend to the City
Council that construction be allowed to proceed if Mr. Olchefske
provides a new easement,.pays all costs to relocate the water 1ine,
and applies for a vacation of the easement. He stated if this is
a private easement, it would involve only the two property owners
and Nh�. Olchefske would have to pro�tide a new easement and pay any
relocation costs.
Mr. Robinson stated if this special use permit is recommended for
approval, the stipulation regarding the driveway on East Riuer Road
should be included.
Ms. Sherek stated as she understands, the driveway on East River Road
would be designated and signed as an exit only and the driveway on
Mississippi woi�ld be signed as an entrance, but not necessarily
eliminated as an exit. She stated the Co�ission would then review
this special use permit at a future date to determine how the
access is working for both the petitioner and the City.

N.�. Betzold asked the price range for these homes. Mr. Leffler stated
they would range fx� m the upper 80's to the low 90's.
Mr. Kondrick asked if the homes would have the same setbacks as the
others fronting on Jefferson Street. Mr. Robinson stated the minimum

� constructed.

4. CONSIDERATION OF VACATION REQUEST, SAV ��87-06 BY ROGER LEFFLER:
To vacate the 12 foot alley located between 57th Avenue and 58th
Avenue and between Jefferson Street and Washington Street.
Mr. Robinson stated this vacation is requested to allow for develop-
r"� ment in this area. He stated if the alley is vacated, the property
owners to the east and west would each receive six feet.
PLANNING COI�ICSSION MEETING, JULY 8, 1987 PAGE 10
� Mr. Robinson stated notices of this proposed vacation were sent
to the affected property owners and several letters were received
indica.ting the.owners had no objection. He stated staff
wi11 contact those persons who have not�as yet responded as,
norma.11y, 100% agreement is required for a vacation.
Mr. Robinson stated s�.a�ff is,r�commending �he foLLowing sttpula�ion�:
fiI.) a�l+�y ci���.ti�n,_su,bj�ct to concurrence of all abutting progerty
owners; and (2) a drainage and utility easement to be maintained
across the entire alley.
Mr. Mike_Phelps, 5755 Washington Street, requested an explanation of
stipulation No. 2. Mr. Robinson stated the �ity would be vacating
the a11ey in terms of ownership, but an easement.should be maintained
for drainage and utility purposes. He stated if the need arose, this
would allow the City or utility companies access.
Mr. Phelps asked if he could construct a fence, Mr. Robinson stated
a fence may be constructed, however, if work had to be done on any
of the utility lines, the companies would have the right to remove it
if it inter£erred with their repair work.
Mr. Phelps questioned how this extra six feet would affect his property
taxes. Mr. Billings stated in recent discussions with the City Assessor
regarding a similar situation, he felt the increase in taxes would
probably be negligible.
Mr. Phelps asked the limitations on the fence as far as height.
Mr. Billings advised him to contact the City's Building Inspector,
Mr. Darrel C1ark.
Mr. Jay Workman, 5704 Jefferson Stre�t, stated he lives adjacent to
this property proposed for development. He stated he did have some
concern about damages to his home when the foundations were dug for
the new homes.
Mr. Leffler, the petitioner, assured Mr. Workman this wouldn't be a
prob lem.
Mr. Workman questioned how he could determine where his property line
was located.
Mr. Leffler stated a surveyor will survey the property and locate the
pins so these could be used as a point of ineasurement.
Mr. Betzold stated it may be to the surrounding property owners ad-
vantage to contact Mr. Leffler if they wish to have their own
property surveyed. He felt as long as the surveyor will be in the
area, the costs ma.y be lower for others to participate in the survey.

5. CONSIDERATION OF LOT SPLITi L.S. ��87-07, BY MARGARET BRIGKNER:
Mr. Robinson stated this is a request to split off the northerly 180
feet of Lot 3, Auditor's Subdivision No. 88, at 1282 Mississippi Street.
He stated this parcel was rezoned from single family to C-1 to allow
a single family home to be used as a gift shop.
Mr. Robinson stated if the Lot is split, it will be over 25,000 square
feet and the code requires 20,000 square feet. He stated there is a
concern that the re�.ining property would be landlocked, however, the
petitioner has indicated they are the owners of the adjacent property
and this will be added to that property.
P�. Robinson stated staff is recommending the following stipulations:
(1) the southerly portion of the split parcel is to be added to
Sandee's Restaurant parcel concurrently with recording of subdivision;
and (2) park fee of $1,905 to be paid prior to recording 1ot split.
Mr. Robinson stated a third sti�at�lation was going to be added to pro-
vide joint driveway easements between the gift shop and Sandee's
Restaurant, but this has already been accomplished and recorded.
Mr. Kondrick asked if any comments were received from those persons
who were notified of this lot split. Mr. Robinson stated staff has not
received any comments.
