Hanson www.ci.little-canada.mn. us MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission Members FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Code Enforcement Officer DATE: September 1, 2010 RE: 70 Woodlyn Avenue - Re-Issue Interim Use Permit On July 23, 2008 the City of Little Canada approved an Interim Use Permit for Wal•-Ron Company at 70 Woodlyn Avenue. "Phis was a one year permit that allowed On Site Sanitation at 95 Woodlyn Avenue off site storage of portable toilets at 70 Woodlyn Avenue. At that time, the city code stated that an interim use permit could not be for more than one (1) year from the date of approval. However, our city code was recently amended to allow interim use permits up to five (5) years. With the recent code amendment, Mr. Dave Ilolm is seeking to have the IUP at 70 Woodlyn Avenue reissued for a five yeu~ period.

Given there is a portion of the site plan that does not have a specified use city staff would recommend prior to approval Mr. Hokin submit a new site plan specifying said use for this area. This will enable city staff to verify that the intended outdoor storage area stays below the maximum allowed by code. Plus, it will be clearer when identifying storage areas on inspections for the outdoor storage license. I have included with this memo the site plan Mr. Holm submitted (plus I have highlighted the area staff is requesting be specified) and the original Planner's Report dated July 3, 2008 for your review. The code requirements of the original Plamrer's Report are still the same today. However, the CUP would be amended to include outdoor storage for building tenants, not specific to War-Ron the prior owner of the property. City staff notes that there have been no code enforcement issues with the prior permit; however, the landscape materials used for
