NIINUT,ES <br />PLANNING COVIbIISSI:ON <br />FEBR'[JARY 12.2004 <br />Keis indicated that the problem is the request for ten times the outdoor <br />storage that has been approved for tl~~is site. Groholski indicated that some <br />of the equipment will be removed, but the type of storage that is there will <br />remain. Groholsi:i indicated that he is planning to construct another <br />building in two to three years as a way to enclose some of the storage. <br />Keis again pointed out that the proposal is for ten times the storage that <br />was on«inally approved. Groholski stated that what is stored on the site is <br />needed for his business. He pointed out that he saves and recycles logs so <br />thaC he does not have to pay dumping fees. <br />Barraclough asked if the loner term plan is to construct another building if <br />a temporary outdoor storage use could be allowed. The City Planner <br />indicated that occasionally the City has granted owners a short period of <br />time to resolve vi enforcement problem. That is usually a period of three <br />to six mouths However, if the suggestion is a period of years, then the <br />ordinance should be amended to allow for an interim use permit and the <br />property o~.mner be required to enter into a development contract. <br />Keis pointed out that the City has been fairly strict in Ryan Industrial Park <br />with regard to outdoor storage. Reis felt that the Commission needed a <br />more specific site plan and better estimate on the maximum amount of <br />outdoor storage that is needed. This plan should also indicate which areas <br />are paved and which are not. <br />The Planner indicated that the area behind the building is paved. The <br />Code required that all outdoor storage be screened and paved. <br />Keis stated that he would prefer Co table action on this matter until a more <br />exact site plan can be developed- He noted that the problem is that the <br />Precision Tree site is out of compliance and the request before the City <br />was too much. Keis also felt that there was no hardship to warrant <br />granting the variance. I{eis noted that the other issue is that of the wood <br />burning heat source. <br />John Anich, 1 I O Ya'Iaon Ridge, indicated that the fire in the wood <br />burning heat source is different from a typical wood-burning stove. It is <br />moi e of a smoidering fire that churns out acreosote-burning smell. Anich <br />indicated that the smell is a problem. Anich also expressed concern with <br />the loss of trees on the Precision Tree site and suggested that the trees <br />were taken down to provide room for outdoor storage. <br />Keis asked about the Fuel tanks. "Che City Planner indicated that the Fire <br />Marshal approved a permit for the fuel tanks, but these where not shown <br />on the original site plan. <br />_~~_ <br />
