Development News from the latest meeting
Conditional Use Permit Approved for Equipment Rental Business in Historical Commercial District
The council approved resolution number 26-39, granting a conditional use permit (CUP) to Troy Prasad for an equipment rental business in the HC Historical Commercial District at 119 Avenue B. This property already hosts a construction company office, equipment storage, workshop, and manufacturing business. The approved site plan includes the vacated right-of-way for equipment storage and specifies fencing and screening, including a six-foot privacy fence on the west and along the street, with rolling gates. The Planning Commission recommended approval.
City Council Approves $23,000 for Phase Four Tree Planting Under Relief Grant
The council reviewed and approved a quote for phase four of a tree planting project, funded by a DNR relief grant. This project is part of a larger effort to address Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestations and has received positive community feedback. The grant funding is nearing its end, with plans for potential final removals, plantings, and treatments. The approved quote is for $23,000 from Hoffbauer Tree Farm.
Site Plan Approved for New Les Schwab Tire Center Development
The council approved resolution number 26-40, a site plan for a Les Schwab tire center in the RC Regional Commercial District at 1412 Highway 33. The project involves a roughly 9,566 square foot building, associated parking, and landscaping across two parcels of the former Burquist site. Key features include the use of the second parcel for a stormwater basin (instead of an underground system), meeting building setbacks, providing 31 parking spaces (exceeding the required 28), and incorporating an outdoor storage area for picked-up tires. The site will be cleaned up from a previous fire, and the outdoor storage area will be screened. The Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions.
City Council Approves Unbudgeted Trailer Purchase for Safety and Operational Needs
The council authorized the purchase of a T-50 equipment trailer from McCoy Construction for $28,950. This purchase was unbudgeted but deemed necessary due to safety concerns with the current trailer, which was found to have worn tires down to the cords after a recent deployment. The new trailer is required to safely transport equipment, especially for highway travel. Despite being unbudgeted, the purchase will be funded by a departmental budget surplus, resulting in a positive adjustment to the fund balance without impacting the levy or rates.
City Vacates and Sells Portion of Vine Street to Troy Prasad for Business Expansion and Fence Installation
The council approved two resolutions related to a portion of Vine Street: Resolution 26-37 vacated the unimproved right-of-way (approximately 66 ft wide by 90 ft deep) north of Avenue B and east of Wentworth Park. Resolution 26-38 approved the sale of this vacated portion to Troy Prasad of Prasad Holdings LLC for $1. The land will be used for an equipment rental business, and in exchange for the $1 sale, Mr. Prasad will install a six-foot-high wood privacy fence along the western edge. This action is considered a normal course of business as the right-of-way serves no public purpose and is adjacent to Mr. Prasad's property.
