Mr. Andersen stated that the height of 40 feet is the worse case scenario; it will likely not <br /> be that tall. <br /> Public comment: None. (Someone in the audience commented on a fence for a highway <br /> not being built. Chairman Woog reminded her that this is for a different application.) <br /> Mr. Williams clarified that the request is for a Variance up to 15 feet,25 feet is allowed. <br /> Color and screening was discussed, as well as signage. No signage is allowed on <br /> accessory structures. Mr. Andersen stated he is not sure what the for will be. It would <br /> depend if it is new or used. The Planning Commission stated ust collector is <br /> OSHA required and will be visible from any roadway. The collector will be located <br /> in the Industrial Park where these items belong. Mr. Hal po out that the dust <br /> collector will not look like the architect's rendering o th ite pi <br /> A motion was made by Tom Adams, seconded ark Hallan,to appr e Variance <br /> for a structure up to 15 feet, as recommended ,basv on the follo dings <br /> of Fact: <br /> 1. The proposed use meets the uired setbacks, the proposed structure being <br /> at more than 30 feet from all p lines. <br /> 2. The proposed use meets the re rvious co a limit of 50%, with a <br /> proposed 30%of the lot area as i ervio ce. <br /> `., 3. The proposed cturing buil eets ding height limit of 25 feet, <br /> being approxi .625 feet height measured by the Ordinance <br /> standards. T ust co or,howeve easures 40 feet in height. <br /> 4. Strict inte r n of Ordinance d create an undue hardship on this <br /> business, as the not able to operate in the City without the <br /> re colle o me standards. Dust collectors are purchased <br /> thir man ers and the dust collection unit that the applicants <br /> quire is man ed aximum height of 40 feet. There is a 12.5 foot <br /> ence from eak o e proposed manufacturing building to the highest <br /> po the dust c tor. <br /> 5. Whil a are not y characteristics of the land itself that prevent this property <br /> from be evel d with most other industrial uses, strict interpretation of the <br /> Ordinance, case, would be impractical because of the pre-manufactured <br /> height of a re fired unit for a wood-working industrial operation. <br /> 6. The deviation from the Ordinance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent <br /> of the Ordinance, which is to limit the general height of structures for aesthetic <br /> and fire safety purposes. This property, located in the Business Park, is <br /> surrounded by similarly designed principle and accessory structures. <br /> 7. The variance, if granted, will not create a land use that is not permitted in the <br /> zone. Manufacturing operations are permitted uses in the Light Industrial zone, <br /> and were it not for the height of the dust collector, would otherwise be permitted <br /> administratively. <br /> Minutes 4 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> August 16, 2007 <br />
