SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Wayne Avery called the regular meeting of the City Planning
Commission to order on February 7, 2012, at 7:00 PM in the Council Chamber at
City Hall. Members present were Hal Bailey, Mike Cameron, Donna DeKraai,
Greg Fargen, Al Heuton, John Sydow, and Avery. Alan Gregg and John
Gustafson were absent. Also present were Kate and Greg Heiberger, Mary
Bibby, Carol Klug, Cindy Swinson, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, Community
Development Director Mike Struck, Planning and Zoning Administrator Dan
Hanson and others.
Item #3a – Cameron asked if there were utility easements on the plat. Hanson
replied that the north 10 feet of each lot had an easement.
Item #3b – Lanning remarked that drainage easements would be required on
Lot 100. Heuton inquired about restricting access to Lot 100. Hanson replied that
a one-foot (1’) no access easement was a common restriction for corner lots or
double frontage lots that had frontage on a collector or arterial street.
Item #4 – Hanson noted that the land proposed for annexation was completely
surrounded by city limits.
Item #5 – Kate Heiberger stated she wanted to operate a small, part-time
photography studio. She anticipated about two to three (2-3) customers per
week with the peak season running from late fall to early spring. Customers
would park off the alley.
Mary Bibby, 822 8th Avenue, did not have a problem with the home
occupation but was concerned about adequate parking. She noted that
adjoining houses have many tenants with cars, and street parking was at a
premium. Carol Klug, 816 8th Avenue, concurred with Bibby. Cindy Swinson, 816
9th Avenue did not feel the Heiberger’s site plan was to scale because it showed
more vehicles than could actually be accommodated on-site.
DeKraai asked if the two-wheel trailer that was parked on the lot would be
moved. Heiberger replied no. Fargen asked how many spaces would be
required on the lot. Hanson replied six (6); four (4) spaces for the duplex and two

(2) for the home occupation. Heuton was concerned with the parking plan and
asked if a modified plan could be designed. Greg Heiberger stated that he
rented to international students who did not drive. In addition, the home
occupation would be a small operation. He was not inclined to tear up his
backyard for more parking because he wanted the lot to still look residential.
Hanson noted that parking spaces are only counted if they meet specific
parking standards, and the Heiberger site plan had only five (5) spaces that
could meet the city’s standards.
Item #6 – Hanson commented on the previous rezoning from R-3 to B-2 in 2009.
The contemplated use of the land under the B-2 regulations did not work out,
and returning the land to the R-3 District would create greater flexibility in
expanding the fire station.
Item #7 – The community center use would likely be proposed as a buffer
between a residential district and other B-2A district uses. Cameron felt a
community center, as a conditional use, was appropriate for the district.
Item #8 – The South Campus Neighborhood District Plan established two (2) sub-
areas that were separated by 7th Street. The action plan focused on two (2)
blocks north of 7th Street and 1½ blocks south of 7th Street. The development
guidelines in the plan represented the various proposals put forth by the
Planning Commission over the last year. There were nine elements identified that
would have to be addressed in a redevelopment plan for the 6th Street/South
Campus Neighborhood commercial corridor. Heuton asked if item #3 would
allow two-story structures. Hanson replied yes.
Item #10 – The Planning Commission selected Monday, March 12 as the next
meeting due to conflicts on the regular meeting date.
The meeting was adjourned.
