The purpose of the meeting was to review the site plan for the proposed addition to
Sunset manufacturing.
Dale Victor spoke on his own behalf. He stated that the proposed development
includes an addition of 70' x 120'. The additiol1" is needed to accommodate expansion
of their business. The building addition has been designed to keep the equipment from
running onto the street. The proposed development includes the following: 20' front
yard setback, 10' side yard setback, and 26' rear yard setback, and the addition of 10
parking spaces. Victor stated that Sunset currently employs 18 to 20 employees.
Kalinowski questioned if the existing walnut trees would remain and if Victor has a
landscaping plan. Victor stated the trees will remain and the area will be landscaped
with shrubs and grass.
Carlson .stated that he has reviewed the project including the zoning classification and
feels the project should be allowed to proceed as requested. In a General Business
Zone the property owner is allowed to build to the line. However, in this case the
owner is providing a setback to better suit the neighborhood.
After reviewing the requirements and site plan of Sunset Manufacturing, Lesnick made
a motion authorizing Victor to make application for a building permit. The motion was
seconded by Kalinowski.
