MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JULY 9, 2003 and did not want to have multiple users on the site. Blesener indicated that given Mr. Johnson would be rendering a service, he did not consider this to be multiple users of a site. LaValle asked about allowing the leased use with aone-year sunset. The City Administrator indicated that the City has allowed interim uses in other situations. Fahey stated that he is against the leased use noting that this was not what was represented by Mr. Johnson initially. Fahey felt that each time Mr. Johnson comes before the Council he is looking for a little more. Fahey felt that at some point the Council has to say that this is the concept that was agreed to; and if Mr. Johnson cannot live up to his commitment, then perhaps he should look at other options. Fahey felt that outdoor storage by multiple users will be an enforcement mess. Fahey also noted that City staff and consultants have indicated that from a good planning perspective, they cannot recommend approval. Fahey again indicated that the City Planner and City Engineer will have to review the revised plan submitted this evening to see if it complies with their recommendations. Fahey noted that as it stands this evening, it appears there is a split vote on whether to allow outdoor storage by multiple users. Johnson asked if the Council was willing to move forward on the revised PUD without the multiple users of the outdoor storage space. Fahey stated that he was not prepared to act on a revised drawing presented this evening without the review of the City Planner and City Engineer. Fahey stated that he is very hesitant to move forward on matters such as these that involve a lot of changes without the benefit of review by the Planning Commission and the City's staff and consultants. Johnson indicated that the changes that he has made are to facilitate what the City has wanted. Johnson felt that the changes being made were compromises on his part to facilitate the demands of the City. He pointed out that the Council 82 needs more parking spaces, and he is compromising by agreeing to a shared parking arrangement between Lots 1 and 3. Fahey pointed out that the City has informed Mr. Johnson that they did not want to see multiple users of this site, and that is what he is proposing this evening. Fahey felt that the proposal for the front of the property was a good one, but indicated that the changes being proposed for Lot 3 will need to be reviewed by staff and consultants. Fahey felt that if those changes comply with their recommendations, he would support the revised PUD without, however, the multiple users of the property.
