Excerpt from Plan Commission Minutes of March 4 , 1993 <br /> Cal. No. 93-17 Petition of DAVID A. CLARK, DIRECTOR OF <br /> CON�SUNITY DEVELOPMENT, for a special use <br /> permit to allow the construction and <br /> operation of a fire station as a government <br /> building on premises generally located in <br /> the 1300-1400 block of North Water Street and <br /> North Main Street. <br /> Mr. George Weaver was present and spoke for the petition stating <br /> that the Commission had received a site plan for the proposed <br /> construction of Firestation #1 which would be relocated from <br /> downtown to north of Grand Avenue. Mr. Weaver stated that the <br /> City had undertaken a comprehensive planning exercise regarding <br /> site locations, run times, and hazards which were run through a <br /> computer program to determine service to the existing and growing <br /> community. <br /> Mr. Weaver stated that there is parking on the northwest side for <br /> employees and the southwest for visitors. In addition, the <br /> east-west driveway is for emergency vehicles which will leave <br /> northbound and return to the station southbound on 51. The <br /> special use provision permits a firestation. There are varied <br /> existing zoning patterns in the area. The staff of Public Works, <br /> Safety Services and Community Development recommend approval of <br /> the petition. <br /> Mr. Thomas questioned if there had been any reaction to the <br /> published location and plan. Mr. Weaver stated that throughout <br /> the process staff had met with nearby property owners who were <br /> involved with the development of the site plan. <br /> Discussions were also held with nearby businesses regarding <br /> access and parking. <br /> It was moved and seconded (Thomas/Brinkoetter) and unanimously <br /> approved that Cal. No. 93-17 be forwarded to City Council for <br /> approval. <br />
