ADVANCED MASONRY RESTORATIOi QUALITY WORK BY QUALITY PEOPLE July 10, 2006 Planning Commission City of Little Canada 515 Little Canada Road East Little Canada, MN 55117 Re: CUP for Outdoor Storage 2960 -2958 Yorkton Blvd. Dear Commissioners: We received a letter from Northwest Associated Consultants which reviews the various aspects of our Conditional Use Permit for fenced storage. The letter raises the two following questions which required clarification: I. Additional information required on the wood fence proposed for the south screening wall of the outside storage. This fence will be constructed out of 1x8 dog eared cedar boards running 8 feet vertically and being attached to a metal pipe frame with concealed fasteners on the interior of the fence. The fence proposed on our original proposal identified a gate on the south elevation. Since this fence will be constructed out of wood we will move the gate to the east elevation. There will not be a gate on the south elevation. The wood section will be stained to match the highlight color on our building. 2. Does the new storage area take up parking spaces? No there are currently 50 parking spaces marked out on our new lot. The storage area is located on the rear of the building in the area of the truck docks. No existing parlcing spaces will be eliminated because of the location of the storage area. The letter also states that the building has a unique orientation as a corner lot and that the proposed storage in the rear of the building in the area of the truck docks can be considered the side yard and a variance will be required. We don't understand this issue since our building faces Yorkton Blvd. and has a Yorkton Blvd address. The east side of the building is quit obviously the rear of the building and not the side yard. We have two neighbors that have similar orientation issues and they also have outdoor storage. United Scientific has the narrow part of their building facing Yorkton Court with a 15 Yorkton Court address. There is a :fenced outdoor storage area on the west side.
