Summary
After staff verified corrections to outdoor storage and wetland buffer concerns, the Planning Commission approved the annual review for Loomis Court LLC subject to an amendment requiring vegetative restoration, three replacement trees and paving of the driveway within one month of approval.
The Planning Commission voted Oct. 7 to approve the annual review for Loomis Court LLC (tax key 2257973001) after staff confirmed that several previously identified issues had been corrected and the property owner agreed to finish remaining landscaping and paving work.
Staff said a September site visit verified that earlier wetland-buffer encroachments and additional parking within a protected area had been corrected and that sliding fencing required by the earlier approval was in place. Remaining items included areas of disturbed soil that need either turf or a planned prairie/ground-cover planting and the installation of three trees (5–6 feet high) in a cleared area between a new driveway and the outdoor storage area. The owner also agreed to pave the driveway segment shown on the approved plan; staff recommended those three items be completed within one month.
Commissioner discussion produced an amendment to the resolution to require completion of (1) required landscaping/ground-cover restoration, (2) the three replacement trees, and (3) paving of the driveway—each within one month. The amendment passed and the amended motion passed unanimously.
Staff will verify completion and return to the commission if items remain undone.
