MINUTES CITY COUNCIL October 11, 1989 Fahey stated that the parking of semi-trailers should be an expected use in an industrial area. Aowever, Fahey stated that his concern was how the storage area would be screened from adjacent residential areas. Scalze asked for a definition of storage. Kaufman replied that the semi-trailers would be parked on the site over-night. The City Planner reported that the Code does not restrict the amount of time that the semi-trailers could be stored. The Planner also reported that the Code allows for outside storage equal to 75% of the floor area of the building by conditional use permit, and this proposal is within those guidelines. Welsh reported that there will be an almost daily turn-over of semi-trailers on the site, however, since an outgoing trailer will be replaced with an incoming trailer, there may appear to be no change. LaValle asked if the trailers will be used for outside storage. Kaufman replied that there will be no merchandise stored in the trailers. Kaufman then described the landscape plan, pointing out that 44 pine trees are proposed on the east side of the building. These trees are proposed to be between 5 and 7 feet in height. There are 24 trees proposed to screen the semi-truck storage area from Centerville Road. The trees are proposed to be planted in a double row, 12 feet on center. Fahey asked if Slumberland is willing to post a bond for the landscaping. Kaufman replied that Slumberland would post a bond. Kaufman reported that he is open to any suggestions for changes to the location of the landscaping. Fahey suggested that the Building Inspector and City Planner can work with Slumberland on the placement of the landscaping. Scalze asked what the setback of Slumberland's future addition would be from DeSoto. Page 5
