The City of Monticello, Iowa
IN THE NAME AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF MONTICELLO, IOWA
RESOLUTION # 2023-123
To approve Theisen’s Home Farm Auto Site Plan
WHEREAS, Theisen Real Estate has presented the Theisen’s Home Farm Auto retail store Site Plan for review and consideration, and
WHEREAS, The proposed Site Plan has been reviewed by the City staff and the Planning and Zoning Board, and
WHEREAS, The Planning & Zoning Board recommended the approval of the site plan with the following considerations:
- That the blue steel siding, when used as a primary element, is a characteristic Theisen’s Home Farm Auto store does not distract from the physical appearance of the building;
- That any light fixtures in the parking lot or loading area feature zero-cut-off lenses so that no nearby residential properties are impacted by excess glare or light, including any wall-packs that may be mounted on the building.
- That the overall layout provides adequate buffering and screening and the specific provisions of the buffering requirements are waived in lieu of those shown on the proposed site plan; and
- The preservation of the five existing trees totaling 160 inches diameter is sufficient credit for the trees that would otherwise be required for the site, with the addition of four trees to be placed along the S. Maple Street frontage and the additional shrubs approved as outlined in the letter from Chris Theisen dated August 30, 2023.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby approve the Theisen’s Home Farm Auto Site Plan subject to the recommendations noted above.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto. Done this 5th day of September, 2023.
Dave Goedken, Mayor
