Add 7. b. Definition of building fagade. <br /> NEW BUSINESS: <br /> Lakes Gas Co. <br /> Roger Varilek excused himself from the Commission. He stated that Lakes Gas <br /> Company may be moving from their current location. They are looking at the property at <br /> the corner of TH 371 and County Road 107. He passed out a preliminary site plan to <br /> obtain feedback from the Commission. He stated that they would need to obtain approval <br /> from the State Fire Marshall, Homeland Security and the Federal and State Governments. <br /> The area would need to be fenced with barbed wire on top and would need to be lit. The <br /> fence would need to be chain link. An alternative fence was discussed. He stated it <br /> could not burn. The gravel under the tanks would be impervious. They would need a <br /> variance for impervious coverage. Crushed rock rather than class 5 was discussed. The <br /> rock is hard to walk on and plow. The building would be 19 feet tall. There would be <br /> trees on 3 sides, with less screening on County Road 107. Congestion on County Road <br /> 107 was discussed. The site plan was discussed, with the Commission recommending it <br /> be flipped. <br /> Lance Bragstad was in the audience and stated that the current location is one block from <br /> the school and the country location would be safer. <br /> Mr. Varilek was advised he would need a variance for impervious coverage and he would <br /> need a stormwater prevention plan. He is willing to move forward with a special hearing. <br /> He was advised to include more buffer between Highway 371 and the building and tanks <br /> to make it aesthetically appealing. <br /> i <br /> DEFINITION OF BUILDING FACADE: <br /> Staff explained that Lance Bragstad had applied for a sign permit and wished to use <br /> entire face of building in the calculations.
