2. Preliminary review of proposed CSM for property adjoining CTH KK and Tarragon Drive submitted by Randy Otto. Ms. Watson explained Mr. Otto owns lot 92 of Haen Meadows which is to the north of his commercial property located on CTH KK. He would like to attach a portion of Lot 92 to his commercial property in order to facilitate an expansion of the structures as they are currently at the maximum size allowed by code. Mr. Holmes explained the drainage in the area can be made to flow around the new lot line which would be created and if no structures are placed on the detached portion of the lot the sewers in the area will not be affected. Mr. Schoenike asked if this area will be built on. Mr. Otto said it would not. Mr. Moore asked if the remainder of lot 92 was buildable. Ms. Watson replied it will be. Mr. Sundelius asked if this area will need to be rezoned. Ms. Watson replied again yes. Mr. Sundelius asked if parking would be allowed on this area. Ms. Watson replied it would be according to the zoning code provided the setbacks for the buffer would limit the amount of cars. Mr. Sundelius requested a deed restriction be placed on this area requiring it to remain green space. Mr. Otto had no problem with that request. Mr. Oldenberg asked if the Fire Department had a look at this proposed plan. Mr. Otto replied that they did not. Mr. Oldenberg suggested the plan be run past the Fire Department. The Commission agreed. The item was a preliminary review and Ms. Watson agreed to go over the concerns of the Commission with Mr. Otto before he proceeded with the CSM.
   

There being no further business to be brought before the Commission, a motion to adjourn the meeting at 4:20 p.m. was made by Sundelius, seconded by Schoenike. All members voted aye. Motion carried.
