MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AUGUST 11, 1999 <br />CUP FOR OPEN <br />AND OUTDOOR <br />STORAGE — <br />3179 SPRUCE <br />STREET — <br />DON VALENTO <br />Morelan asked if the City Administrator was aware of any difficulty developers <br />of new construction were having meeting parking requirements. The City <br />Administrator pointed out that the City was informed that its parking <br />requirements were too low for a theater development. He also noted that <br />DaVern Construction was having difficulty with parking requirements for their <br />site on Rice Street. However, that issue related to the finishing of the lower <br />level of their office space. <br />Morelan indicated that it appears from the Planner's report that, in general, the <br />City's parking requirements are working. <br />Mr. Fahey introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 99 -8 -202 — ACCEPTING THE CITY PLANNER'S <br />REPORT RELATIVE TO THE CITY'S PARKING REQUIREMENTS, <br />ADOPTING THE RECOMMENDATION THAT THERE BE NO CHANGE <br />TO PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR AUTOMOTIVE SERVICES AND <br />STORAGE USES, AND CONTINUING FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION AT <br />THE AUGUST 25, 1999 COUNCIL MEETING THE PARKING <br />REQUIREMENTS FOR RETAIL/COMMERCIAL, OFFICE, AND <br />MANUFACTURING /FABRICATION <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by LaValle. <br />Ayes (4) Fahey, LaValle, Morelan, Pedersen. <br />Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. <br />Mayor Fahey opened the continuation of public hearing to consider the <br />application for Conditional Use Permit for open and outdoor storage of <br />construction equipment and materials as a principle use for one business <br />and equipment, materials, and two semi - trailers as an accessory use for <br />another business located at 3179 Spruce Street. <br />Mr. Don Valento, owner of 3179 Spruce Street, presented the Council with <br />pictures of the City Garage property on Country Drive. He noted that the first <br />picture shows that the City's open and outdoor storage is not properly screened <br />as it is visible from the 35E. The second picture shows that the driveway access <br />to the City Garage exceeds the maximum curb cut of 24 feet. The third picture <br />showed that the parking was not striped in the Garage parking lot. The fourth <br />picture showed that the City's storage of dirt piles was visible from Country <br />Drive. Valento noted that he understands that the functions the City performs <br />from the City Garage are necessary, and he wanted the City to continue to <br />operate as they have been. His point was that the businesses in Ryan Industrial <br />Park also have important functions to perform and should be able to operate <br />their businesses. <br />8 <br />
