Summary and Recommendation <br />R & S Automotive are requesting a CUP for proof of parking, a CUP for outdoor storage <br />as an accessory use, an IUP for off-site outdoor storage and a variance from the off-site <br />outdoor storage requirements. The applicant has demonstrated compliance with the <br />proof of parking CUP requirements as well as the outdoor storage CUP requirements <br />and, as such, staff recommends approval of the two CUPS. However, staff does not <br />recommend approval of the IUP for off-site outdoor storage nor the variance from the <br />off-site outdoor storage requirements as the applicant has not demonstrated existence <br />of anon-economic hardship. <br />As a final note, the public notice includes an "appeal" of a staff determination that the <br />salvage use is not grandfathered in. Based on the description of the use by the <br />applicant, it appears that the "salvage" use is a component of the waste and recycling <br />disposal activities, rather than the "junk yard" type of use that is prohibited by ordinance. <br />As such, planning staff recommends a denial of the appeal, based on the fact that the <br />salvage use has been terminated, and that the waste handling use currently conducted <br />on the site is allowed as a part of the outdoor storage CUP. <br />pc: Kathy Glanzer <br />Steve Westerhaus <br />Lee Elfering <br />R & S Automotive, 38 West Woodlyn Avenue, Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />7 <br />
