As a separate issue, Sauer is in contact with the DNR regarding removing the weeds from the lakebed.

Applications – Appearances

Old Business
Jim McGoey was present to discuss Historic District lighting. He informed Commission members that since their December meeting a proposal was on the agenda for Public Works. At that meeting he asked that the light fixtures removed from downtown Evansville not be used outside of the Historic District. 1) the original intent was to locate these poles in the Historic District 2) it is difficult to budget to purchase more ornamental lighting. He felt his proposal was well received with no objections raised by Dave Sauer or Dave Wartenweiler.
Next steps – there is a question of whether the poles need painting and what the cost might be.
Motion by Dennis Wessels that the Historic Preservation Commission has discussed a proposal for the installation of a combination of ornamental lights removed from the downtown area and cutoff lighting for the Historic District and recommends that this be pursued by the City of Evansville.

IV. Citizen Appearances. None.
V. Action Items.
a. Fire Hall Site Plan.
i) Applicant Presentation. Dean Schultz of Excel Engineering presented the site plan, including the 17,715 sf building, parking and driveway access around the building, landscaping, wetland delineation, grading, and a stormwater pond. Plans for a separate storage building are no longer part of the proposal.
ii) Staff Report. Schwecke presented his written report. He noted that the proposal exceeds the required parking standards, sidewalks need to be added between the parking and the building, it satisfies the landscaping requirements, the lighting plan is pending the city engineer’s review, and there are no wetland impacts. The Commission noted a letter from the city engineer indicating more time would be needed to review the proposed pond and stormwater management.
iii) Commissioners Discussion. The Commission asked about on-site vehicle maintenance, washing, and fueling. Halvensleben and Schultz indicated any maintenance and washing would be done indoors where trench drains and a curb would contain any spills; fueling would not be on-site. The Commission asked about the floodplain permit. Schwecke noted that the city administers its own floodplain regulations, this site plan is based on the anticipated new FIRM maps, and this project has been approved. Schultz noted that a general DNR permit would be required because of the amount of excavation; this permit has already been approved. The Commission noted that Water Street is a designated truck route and recommended warning lights or signs for approaching traffic.
iv) Applicant Comments. Schultz noted that the pond would have a poly liner per DNR standards because of the high groundwater. The sidewalks recommended by the planner will be added.
v) Decision. Braunschweig made a motion, seconded by Roberts, to approve the site plan contingent upon the following conditions: 1) Prior to issuance of a building permit, the city engineer shall have approved the stormwater management plan, erosion control plan, and outdoor lighting plan; 2) Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall have paid all charge back application fees that may have been assessed; 3) The applicant shall obtain a separate sign permit for all on-site signage, 4) Sidewalks shall be provided along the side of the parking lots, closest to the south and west sides of the building; and 5) “Fire Truck Entering” or similar warning signs and lights shall be installed on Water Street.
VI. Discussion Items.
a. Fees in lieu of parkland dedication. Schwecke noted that the state had recently amended the statutes to again allow collection of fees in lieu of parkland dedication. Wietecha noted that the City Code had never been amended to disallow the fees; however, it would need to be reviewed to ensure it conforms to the new statutory language. The Commission noted that the formula and amount of fees would also need to be reviewed. The Commission noted its willingness to hold a special meeting if needed to make the City Code conform to the new statutory language.
VII. Preliminary Development Presentations. None.
