MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 12, 2008 Fischer described the businesses in each space: 3176 Ryan Lane will be occupied by MN Fugitive Recovery. This business tows in vehicles and stores them for a day or two. There will be no repair work of vehicles. Fischer noted that in meeting with the Fire Marshal, the agreement was that vehicles could be stored at the back of the property three deep and four across. 3178 Ryan Lane will be occupied by Tacheny Roofing. Fischer noted that this is not their main location. This site will be used for dumpster storage. Tacheny has approximately 6 to 8 15 -yard dumpsters that will be stored on the site. These dumpsters are brought to job sites, emptied, and brought back for storage. They also have a truck, which is usually parked inside during the evening hours. Pechmann asked if the dumpsters will be empty. Fischer reported that that is what he has been told. Fischer indicated that he informed Tacheny Roofing that he did not want full dumpsters stored on the property. 3180 Ryan Lane is occupied by Modern Fence, and they have been in this location for the past 10 to 12 years. Their storage will consist of fencing materials which are stored off the ground on pallets or on steel platforms. They also have a truck, bobcat, and cement mixer. Fischer reported that he will be bringing in some additional Class VI materials to resolve some drainage problems. Duray asked if Class VI was an acceptable surfacing material. The Planner indicated that past practice has been to allow the use of Class V or VI given the soil conditions in Ryan Industrial park. Fischer reported that the water table is approximately 2 to 2 1/2 feet below the ground. Given the soil conditions, blacktop would not last on this property. He noted that every few years he has to have Class VI brought in to make corrections. Fisher noted that Class VI is highway standard materials. Duray asked if there will be any storage containers or semi trailers on the property. Fischer reported that there will not. He indicated that he does not allow them because what typically happens is that a renter leaves and leaves the semi trailer and then he would be stuck with getting rid of it. Barraclough asked if the dumpsters were considered to be storage containers. The City Planner replied that they were not classified as the storage containers referenced in the Code, which are used for on -site storage. The dumpsters are not storage devices and are stored empty on the property until needed at a job site. Barraclough asked about lighting. The Planner indicated that the plan shows a light in front of the building and one in back. That meets the Code -2-
