MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 25, 2010 RESOL UTION NO. 2010-8-I91-DENYING THE AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING CODE REQUESTED BYR & SAUTOMOTIVE WHICH WOULD HAVE ALLOWED OUTDOOR STORAGE FOR NON-LITTLE CANADA BUSINESSES The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McGraw. Ayes (3). Blesener, McGraw, Keis. Nays (2) Boss, Montour. Resolution declared adopted. RE-ISSUE PUD Mayor Blesener opened the Public Hearing to consider the application for PERMIT - Re-Issuance of an Interim Use Permit for outdoor storage for off-site 3164 RYAN resident tenants for up to a five year term as requested by I,ee Rossow for LANE - property located at 3164 Ryan Lane. LEE ROSSOW The City Planner indicated that Mr. Rossow obtained an Interim Use Permit to allow the leasing of off=site outdoor storage space to Quality Contracting on property located at 3164 Ryan Lane. That IUP was for a one-year period. The City recently amended the Code to allow the issuance of an IUP for off site outdoor storage for up to five years. The Planner indicated that the use of the property is not changing. Staff has inspected the site and it is compliant with the terms of approval for the IUP. The City Administrator indicated that the Code Enforcement Officer has inspected the property. The outdoor storage user is the same and the property is compliant. Staff recommends approval of the re-issuance of the IiJP for five years. Lee Rossow, owner of 3164 Ryan Lane, appeared before the Council. He indicated that the Council has worked hard on the issue of outdoor storage and has made a lot of compromises. Rossow suggested that as the City becomes more comfortable with the issue of off site outdoor storage, perhaps some time in the future there may be room for expanding the requirements. Rossow requested the re-issuance of the IUP for his property for five years, and suggested that at the end of That time, perhaps the Council would revisit the issue. Rossow further comments that being able to lease this space for outdoor storage has been good for the land, better than having vacant property, and allowed him to generate some additional income. Rossow also informed the Council that he tried to lease outdoor storage space by sending out flyers, and that method just does not work. Rossow suggested that R & S approach the Council in a year or so to see if there is enough comfort level to amend the ordinance. He agreed that property owners need space to lease for storage of RV's and boats etc. 7
