1VIINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AUGUST 11, 1999 <br />CUP FOR <br />OPEN AND <br />OUTDOOR <br />STORAGE <br />3104 <br />EDGERTON - <br />BUETOW <br />Fahey noted that consideration of the request for a Conditional Use Permit <br />for open and outdoor storage of equipment as an accessory use at 3104 <br />Ed~erton Street is before the Council this evening. It was noted that the <br />City Planner submitted a report dated July 14, 1999 relative to the Comp <br />Plan direction that this site be guided for residential development. Fahey <br />suggested that the Council first consider the CUP application, and that the <br />Planner's recommendation that the property be rezoned to R-1 be discussed <br />at a future meeting. Fahey noted that the Planning Commission recommended <br />denial of the CUP since the outdoor storage could not be adequately screened <br />from the public right-of-way. <br />Mr. Morelan introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RE.SOI. UTION NO. 99-8-20I - DENYING THE CONDITIONAI.

Resolution declared adopted. <br />Fahey asked about the Planner's recommendation that the property be rezoned. <br />Morelan felt that the long-term solution for this property would be to rezone it. <br />Robert Buetow pointed out that without the outdoor storage he will not be able <br />to operate his business from this site. Buetow also commented that they offered <br />to comply with whatever conditions the City felt necessary to place on the <br />property as part of a CUP approval. <br />Fahey replied that outdoor storage is not appropriate for this site given the <br />storage could not be screened. Fahey stated that the Buetows can continue to <br />operate their business from 3104 Edgerton Street; however, they would not be <br />able to have outdoor storage. <br />Buetow pointed out that they had offered to construct a buildin~ so that their <br />equipment and materials could be stored inside. <br />The City Administrator indicated that alternatives such as a storage building <br />would make sense if the property were to remain zoned Industrial. However, <br />
