the outdoor storage of RVs taller than 8 feet, planning staff would not recommend the variance. With regard to the landscaping, the purpose of the landscaping requirement is again to minimize visual impacts from outdoor storage. Thus, the previous allowance for slatted chain link storage areas was changed under the new ordinance to require more visually appealing fencing materials, or require landscaping in front of such fences to screen the fence (which many property owners desire for security). There do not appear to be any unique conditions on this property that would create the required hardship justifying a variance from this clause. Planning staff would recommend denial of this variance as well. Summary and Recommendation The application complies with the most of the terms of the Outdoor Storage CUP provisions, with the following additions and changes: a. The applicant obtains the appropriate license. b. The site plan is revised to show storage areas behind the front building line, both from Ryan Lane and Spruce Street. c. The applicant provides a revised site plan that illustrates where an additional seven parking spaces would be located on the site in the event that such parking is found to be needed. d. The applicant agrees to stripe additional proof of parking area in the event that such parking is found to be needed. e. The applicant provide a revised site plan illustrating the proper fire lane, and receives approval from the Fire Chief. f. The site lighting is identified on the revised site plan. g. The revised site plan is provided in time for the City Council approval. h. The site plan is revised to show appropriate landscaping and screening in accordance with the ordinance. i. Variances are denied for both height of storage and provision of required landscaping. pc: Kathy Glanzer Steve Westerhaus Lee Elfering Roger & Ellen Lillemoen, 3050 Little Bay Road, Roseville, MN 55113 4
