MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JULY 14, 1999 Scalze suggested there could be additional parking in the front of the property. Valento reported that there are one to two semi deliveries each day to the site, and these semis need room in the front of the building. Morelan suggested that additional parking could be located where the two semi-trailers are currently parked. Valento disagreed, pointing out that once the semis are ~one, they will activate the overhead door at the back of the building. Scalze suggested that Mr. Valento work with the Zoning Administrator to come up witlt an acceptable parking plan. The Zoning Administrator pointed out that one of the conditions of having exterior storlge is that adequate parking must be provided on the site. Otherwise the amount of exterior storage would need to be reduced to provide room for the parl<ing. Scalze suggested that more of the fenced exterior storage area could be located on the Water Department easement, so that required parking would be outside that easement area. Valento reported that he was on the Council at the time Art Ryan developed the industrial parlc One of the reasons for development of the park was to provide opportunities for small businesses. Valento outlined the soil conditions of the area. He also pointed out that the small lots make it dif6cult to meet the City' parl<ing requirements. Fahey asked if the parl<ing rec~uirements that are being applied now are the same as when the propeirty w1s ori~inally developed. Fahey wanted to know if the Code had become more restrictive and demanding than it was when Ryan industrial Park was originally platted. The City Planner indicated that he would have to look at the Code that existed in 1979 to answer that question. Scalze asl<ed about die original site plan for this property. The Zonin~ Administrltor indicated thlt there is no original site plan for this property. Valento indicated thlt the building that was constructed on the site is not the same one that was originally proposed. Scalze agreed with Valento's earlier comments that Ryan Industrial Park was a starter place for small businesses. However, 20 years later some of these businesses appear to have outgrown the property.
