Chair Swenson opened the Public Hearing at 8:30 PM.

Cindy Sherman presented the Planner's Report. Ms. Sherman recommended adding
another condition to remove the current temporary sign.
Jeff Ophoven, owner, said the temporary sign currently there belongs to mini -storage and
this was permitted by the City as part of the original permit. When Precision Line Motor
Sports received approval to go into this site, blacktopping was not required and he
requested the City not require Pioneer Marine to blacktop.
Deb Jensen, applicant, stated she doesn't see boats providing any compacting or dust
problems of the grass area and is concerned that blacktopping would increase runoff and
would be a slippery area. Mrs. Jensen suggested the option that if in one year they weren't
meeting the conditions the City would impose the blacktopping requirement.
Chair Swenson opened the Hearing for Public Comment at 8:39 PM.
There was no public comment.
Chair Swenson opened for Planning Commission discussion.
CM Heidner asked what type of boats with weight would be sold. Mr. Jensen replied he
would be primarily selling aluminum boats, 35% fiberglass and 35% pontoons with weight
from 1300 to 1600 with trailer but no motors unless inboard/outboard ones.
Ken Fry asked how many boats would be displayed outside. Mr. Jensen said from 20 to
30 but would be divided up into two areas in the front and side areas.
The Planning Commission discussed that the boats would leave tire marks, and were
concerned lawn maintenance would be difficult with so many boats. Mr. Jensen felt any
tire marks would disappear by the next day.
Mrs. Jensen said they will work with maintaining the lawn around the boats.
Chair Swenson closed the Public Hearing at 8:50 PM.
A. Conditional Use Permit to allow Outside Sales
and Storage in an I-1 (Limited industrial D's ric 1
The Planning Commission discussed what method could be used to enforce blacktopping
in the future. Mike Robertson suggested to make it a condition of the CUP.
Commissioner Mbanefo felt allowing this was not consistent with the Comp. Plan.
Commissioner Moonen wants to see this business in Otsego and doesn't see a benefit to
blacktopping. He would like to give the applicant an opportunity to maintain the property
with a time frame the City could impose if they are not maintaining. Commissioner
Goenner views this as a nonconformity to City Ordinance and sees this as an opportunity
for the City to rectify the nonconformity. Chair Swenson stated this use was allowed
before and therefore existing and is a CUP and if these concern happen, the City could
reconsider the permit.
