• FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -6- July 28, 2004 Proposed ordinance providing for the addition of rental stora a space as an Interim Use in B-3 Zone (continued from July 14.20041 Mr. Bertz gave a brief description of the five structures on the TIES property that would be involved. He said the space is used by TIES staff and families and tenants' staff and families. The parking storage is seasonal, six month contracts, and comprised of boats, cars, snowmobiles, jet skis, etc. 1. The space could be made available to the community. A majority of the approved uses are high traffic and generate far more traffic than what they would do. 2. Not sure would apply. There are no other businesses with existing accessory structures except for Buck's and Warners' Stellian. 3. He thinks this is subjective and is not the highest and best use. 4. TIES wants to use the accessory structures as they have been doing for the past two years. Minimal use, entirely internal storage, and it does not detract from property values. • 5. He thinks the wording of the proposal is innocuous and restrictive. The buildings are inspected annually by a number of insurance inspectors and the Fire Department, and they are no notice inspections. This situation could be happening right now. When was the last time the City inspected what the neighboring businesses are storing in their buildings? What about in the residential areas? 6. You can never have total enforcement. They are requesting an IUP, which gives the City the ultimate tool, revocation of the permit. 7. Security. For last three years they have not been a problem. There is no exterior storage, only internal. 8. He disagrees with this point. The original intent was to move to a CUP and he believes this falls under the second part of City code 9.15.08. 9. There would be a maximum of 24 contracts that are either 6 or 12 month contracts, stored for summer or winter, and wouldn't be accessed hourly, much less daily. The Farmer's Market generates much more traffic and neighborhood disruption than what they would generate. 10. Unrelated revenue. The Farmer's Market may be a public convenience but it is not a free public service. Vendors pay dues to the Farmer's Market Association to participate. They are for profit organizations and companies and are there to generate money for themselves and their businesses.
