include landscaping (around surrounding the parking lot), a parking lot plan to include number of parking spaces,
type of material, lighting plan and proposed signage.

allow for the construction of an addition to American Manufacturing. The addition is proposed to be 4054 square
feet. The revised plan includes the following:
Parking Spaces -Required 13, provided 19
Landscaping -The area surrounding the parking lot will be seeded and landscaping will be provided along
the new entrance.
Parking Lot -Crushed rock (class 2)
Lighting Plan -Provided for the lighting of the parking lot
Signage -The building will include a wall sign that will meet the requirements of the Ordinance.
Deutz made a motion authorizing Rand Schaefer on behalf of American Manufacturing to make application
for a building permit based on the site plan submitted. Authorization is contingent upon the following:
1. Landscaping be completed before the certificate of occupancy is issued. Landscaping
includes shrubbery around the front of the building and grass around the parking lot.
2. The parking lot will be crushed rock (class 2)
3. The Planning Commission strongly encourages the property owner to repair the existing
retaining wall and paint the existing structure to match the new addition.
The motion was seconded by Lesnick and passed unanimously by those present.
