Lanes at least twenty (20) feet in width shall be required to meet this standard. No portion of the outdoor storage shall be more than fifty (50) feet from any access lane or other drive aisle, nor shall it block access to hydrants, fire sprinklers, or other fire-fighting equipment.

Where properly fenced and screened, outdoor storage may encroach into the required side or rear yard setback area. 9.

All other provisions and requirements as deemed necessary by the City Council. 1 G The applicant complies with the provisions of Section 921 of the Loning Ordinance. It appears that the applicant's request will comply with most of these conditions, subject to comments from the fire marshal, with two exceptions: 1. The owner of the storage materials does not operate a business in the City. As such, the applicant's request requires that the City utilize the flexibility of the PUD district to permit a departure from the standard regulations in this case, and 2. The applicant is requesting a storage height of nine feet, based on the nature of the materials, which arrive via rail in 3 foot tall components. Apart from these two issues, the site otherwise complies with the terms of the I-1 District language. The area is surfaced with gravel at the current time. There is virtually no visibility to the area due to building placement and other natural conditions. As a companion to this application, the applicant is seeking renewal of his 200$ PUD amendment relating to the proposed additions to his existing building. The City Council approved that PUD amendment with the following conditions identified in Resolution 2008-6-158: 10
