Karen Holm indicated that it is not possible to fence this property, therefore, the use of storage containers both secures and screens the equipment. Duray asked how many containers the Holm's are seeking. Dave Holm indicated that they currently have 8, but would like to have to ability to increase to 11 if there is the need to in the future. Helmeke asked if the CUP and Variance ran with the land. The City Planner replied that they did as long as conditions of approval are met. If not, the City has the ability to revoke. It was noted that the Fire Marshal has recommended that a 20 foot fire lane be maintained around the building. Knudsen recommended approval of the Conditional Use permit allowing outdoor storage of storage containers as well as a Variance to allow up to eleven (11) storage containers at 53 Woodlyn Avenue, On-Site Air Temp, Inc. based on the findings as outlined in the City Planner's report dated July 3, 2008, and subject to the containers being painted to match the building and being kept in good repair, and subject to the recommendation of the Fire Marshal as outlined in his report dated Motion seconded by Barraclough. Motion carried 6 - 0.

Holm reported that he would like to leave his SANITATION existing fence where it is. To move the fence back would result in the loss of approximately 3,000 square feet of outdoor storage area. Holm noted that there is a maintained boulevard area adjacent to the fence. The Commission pointed out the differences between to aerials photos relative to the number of portable toilets being stored. Karen Holm reported that the inventory varies.
