NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS, INC. 4800 Olson Memorial Highway, Suite 202, Golden Valley, MN 55422 Telephone: 763.231.2555 Facsimile: 783.231.2561 plan nersC~nacpla nning.com MEMORANDUM TO: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: Stephen Grittman DATE: February 6, 2009 RE: Little Canada - Temo Sunrooms -PUD Permit Revocation FILE NO: 758.09 - 09.07 Background and Analysis In March of 2008,Temo Sunrooms was granted two PUD Permits for outdoor storage. The first related to three display trailers which were to be stored in the rear of the property between April 1 and October 31, with the requirement that the trailers would be off-site from November 1 through March 31 while they were being used at trade shows. This permit was granted for storage during these periods for both 2008 and 2009, after which the City would review the permits and consider (potentially) any extension. The second permit related to a gazebo, also used for display. This gazebo had been approved in 2007 for display during the same period (April through October). In 2008, the applicant sought permission to display the gazebo year-round, a request that was denied by the Council, which reiterated the display period approved in 2007. The applicant has continued to store both the trailers and the gazebo beyond the permit dates, despite significant amounts of correspondence from the Code Enforcement Officer. Although the review period for the trailers was not scheduled until later this year (October), staff is bringing the issue forward at this time since the applicant has refused to comply with the terms of the permit issuance. The City has the following options for enforcement: For the display trailers - a. Revoke the PUD Permit at this time, based on noncompliance with the terms of the permit. b. Allow use of the remainder of the permit through October 2009, but act now to deny any renewal/extension after that date.
