Staff is recommending Approval with the following conditions:

2. A photometric plan in compliance with all City requirements shall be submitted with civil construction plans.
City Engineer Turner advises a maintenance agreement requirement would allow the city to be more comfortable with the oil and chip proposed. He answers Forneris’s question reference enforceability of the maintenance agreement, stating the city will file a mechanics lien if not followed and it would follow the property if repurchased. Bechtle asks what the maintenance agreement will consist of. Turner advises records will have to be kept by the owner to show in compliance. If not in compliance, a thirty-day requirement to come into compliance prior to lien filing.
Gregg Sutterfield, Steve Kool, and Michelle Spillers respond to the podium and are sworn in stating their names and address.
Jackstadt asks about how vital it is, that the portion proposed to be oil and chipped. Kool speaks about the surface area for parking versus the storage area, stating his East Moline property has had no problems with dust. Jackstadt asks about the durability of the proposed material for the building. Mr. Sutterfield states he is comfortable with the materials not to rust or chip. Illies advises the materials proposed are common for this type of building and shouldn’t be too much of a concern.
Rayho states if oil and chip is approved, he would want a maintenance agreement, advising it does not currently match the neighboring properties.
Jackstadt refers to the wildflowers. Ms. Spillers states that it was noted on the report that they are native. Ilies advises that the areas that are meant to be native wildflowers should not require irrigation. Only the lawn should be required to be irrigated. Taylor states that this language will need to be called out in item K in the ordinance.
Bechtle states he believes that if we ask for irrigation, then we should compromise and allow the oil and chip as long as there is a maintenance agreement. Rayho and Illies agree.
Planned district ordinance will remain the same except item K, which will change. It will say: Landscaping shall be in accordance with Section 17.080, Landscaping, Screening and Buffering, and as per the approved Site Plan, with the following exception: 1.
