MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MAY 27, 2009 The foregoing resolution was duly sccarded by Montour. Ayes (4). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. OUTDOOR The City Administrator reviewed the Code Enforcement Officer's May STORAGE 20, 2009 report outlining proposed modifications to the outdoor storage LICENSING ]icensing ordinance. He noted that these modifications are the result of a meeting with Lee Rossow and Roger Starke of Ryan Industrial Park, the Mayor, Code Enforcement Officer, and himself. The primacy modifications include: o Annual License Pee of $50. o Allowance for two temporary licenses within a two year period, $250 license fee for the first temporary license and $500 for the second. o The outdoor storage licensing requirements will apply to all industrial zoned properties, and industrial users in the PUD District. o Outdoor storage license issued to the property owner. o Licensing requirement will not be implemented until July 1, 2010. City staff will mail each property owner their current CUP to allow ample time for property owners to bring their sites into compliance. Staff will assist with questions, help with inspections, and allow time for processing CIJP amendments where needed. Lee Rossow, Ryan Industrial Park property owners, reported that he and Roger Starke met with staff relative to the outdoor storage licensing. Rossow stated that his recollection was that the license fee discussion was $25 per year, but indicated that he could accept a $50 azmual license fee. Rossow stated that he had no objections to the proposed ordinance as discussed this evening. He also noted that staff was going to look at the requirement for the installation of concrete curb stops, noting that these cause a problem for snow plowing operations. The City Administrator reported that there was some discussion about a $25 license fee; however, it was the Code Enforcement Officer's recollection that a $50 annual license, the original proposal, was agreed to. Given the delay in implementing the ordinance and upon further consideration, the need to have a fee below our normal costs of processing seemed unnecessary. With regard to curbing, the City Administrator reported that the ordinance requires perimeter curbing, and that there did not need to be curb stops at interior parking spaces. Rossow asked if curb stops are required adjacent to regular curb and gutter. The Administrator replied that if curb and gutter is in place, curb stops did not need to be added. 4
