MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 27,1999 Upon motion by Morelan, seconded by LaValle, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Morelan introduced the following ordinance and moved its adoption: ORDINANCE NO. 495 - AMENDING SECTION 903.110. E. OF THE LITTLE CANADA CITY CODE, KNOWN A.S THE ZONING ORDINANCE, 73Y PROVIDING FOR ONE ADDITIONAL WA7,7. SIGN ON CORNER LOTS IN THE 13-2, 13-3, AND 13-4 DI.STRICTS The foregoing ordinance was duly seconded by LaValle. Ayes (5) Morelan, LaValle, Scalze, Pedersen, Fahey. Nays (0). Ordinance declared adopted. CUP FOR Fahey opened the continuation of public hearing to consider the CITY GARAGE - Conditional Use Permit for open and outdoor storage of materials as an 3100 COUNTRY accessory use at the City Garage located at 3100 Country Drive. The DRIVE Planning Commission has recommended approval ofthe CUP. The Public Works Director reported that he has found a steel fabric material that he will install on the gate to the stora~e area to provided the required screening. He also noted that the wood chip pile is located on a separate parcel of property. That property is currently zoned I-1 and the proposal is to rezone it to Public The Zoning Administrator reported that in addition to the property on which the City Garage is located, there are two adjacent parcels owned by the City. The City Garage property is zoned Public, while the two other parcels are zoned I-l. These two parcels were acquired by the City for drainage purposes through a tax forfeiture proceeding. Therefore, if the City Garage property were ever sold, this property could not be sold unless the City obtained an unrestricted title for the property. Fahey suggested that if storage of the wood chip pile is allowed under I-1 zoning, then the zoning should be retained as I-1 rather than rezone to Public. It was pointed out that outdoor storage requires a CUP in an I-1 District. The City Administrator indicated that the proposal would be to amend the Public District standards to allow storage of a wood chip pile as an interim use, and then rezone this property to Public. It was noted that the first action item is the Conditional Use Permit for the City Garage to allow open and outdoor storage.
