HomeMy WebLinkAboutMARINE SPORTS WEST AND HARRIS MACHINE PUD PRELIMINARY AND FINAL - 43 92A - MINUTES/NOTES - CORRESPONDENCE-NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING1W . _, SUMMARY The following are QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, and RESPONSES expressed at a Neighborhood Meeting for Marine Sports West/ Keulen PUD. The applicant is proposing a machine shop and boat engine repair shop in an existing 2000 square foot single story wood frame building on a .5 acre site. The existing residence on the property will remain. There was a previous Planned Unit Development on the site for a retail/wholesale business, which did not include engine repair or machine shop uses. The business has operated for several months and is in violation of the RP, Planned Residential, Zoning District. The applicants were notified by the Zoning Department that they needed to take measures to correct the violation. There are two employees on site. The hours of operation would be Monday through Saturday from approximately Sam to 6pm. Much of the work is done by appointment as the site can handle a maximum of 5 to 6 boats at one time. Most of the machine shop business is shipped in and out by UPS. The project would be reviewed as a Planned Unit Development and must meet the criteria of the Land Development Guidance System. The property is located at 921 E. Prospect Road, west of Lemay Avenue and east of Stover Street. The applicants have revised the PUD, since it was last heard by the Planning and Zoning Board in November of 1992 to restrict testing of engines and all repair work to an enclosed area. A note has been added to the plans to restrict outdoor repair work and engine testing. In addition, the large engines (as opposed to small fishing motors) will not be tested on the site. MEETING PLACE: Barton Elementary School MEETING DATE: January 20, 1993 MEETING TIME: 7:00 p.m. CITY PLANNER: Kirsten Whetstone COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, CONCERNS 1. Can the A -frame structure at the southeast corner of the property be moved or removed? APPLICANT: The A -frame will be removed from the site as we don't need it anymore. 2. Based on what I've heard tonight, I don't have objections to what you're doing. 3. What about fumes from.the water test tank, will they be safe inside the building? APPLICANT: The small engines don't produce enough fumes to be dangerous, and they are submerged in the water with a lid on the tank. We tested 16 small engines last year from April to October, so we don't do that many engines and a test lasts about 3 to 5 minutes. 4. So, nothing will be repaired or tested outside? APPLICANT: That is right. 5. What about the "sunset claus", will that remain with the PUD? APPLICANT: We don't have a problem with that. 6. When will the A -Frame go away? APPLICANT: We will take it down this weekend and haul it to my house to use as a swing set as soon as we can. 7. My previous concerns were visible smoke, noise, and odors. If these go away then I don't have a problem with the business. 8. Will the working hours remain the same as before? APPLICANT: Yes, we have not changed the hours. 9. What about work on Sunday? APPLICANT: We will not be open on Sunday, although we may work on our own boats that day, but since we will be doing everything inside the building, you shouldn't even know we are there. 10. Will the motor racks that are outside now be removed. APPLICANT: Yes, they will be put inside. 11. We realize that you have made a lot of concessions, and we appreciate that, as neighbors. If these changes are really made, we don't have a problem with your business there, as long as it is quiet and there are no fumes, odors, or smoke. APPLICANT: We have every intention of operating a clean, quiet business and getting along with the neighborhood and hope that if there is a problem in the future, that you would let us know so we can correct it.
