MTNUTI?S i'LANNING COMMISSION JULY I5, 2010 Duray asked the implications of Drywall Supply taking ownership of some of this product. The City Planner replied thaC if Drywall Supply owned some of these materials, the outdoor storage would he a part of his own bLiSllleSS. Knudsen noted the two pointed outlined by the City Planter. The first was the height of the outdoor storage. Knudsen stated that given how well the area is screened, he did not have a problem with the height being slightly more than 8 feet. The second issue is outdoor storage foz• anon-resident user. Knudsen pointed out that the City discourages property owners from renting outdoor storage space to non-building occupants. Given this is a PUD District, however, provides the City with some flexibility.

Johnson stated that it is his intention to take ownership of a certain amowrt of the product, but he 17
