MINUTES <br />CTTY COUNCIL <br />AUGUST 11, 1999 <br />Fahey asked if there was a compromise that could be reached suggesting that the <br />City limit the amount of outdoor storage That would be allowed. Fahey pointed <br />out the City's issuance of the licenses for auto repair and auto wholesale as well <br />as the fact that the City has been lax in enforcing the code for the past 20 years. <br />Fahey also suggested that the business owner may be able to modify his <br />business so that there is less storage of parts. <br />The City Administrator indicated that staff can meet with the business owner to <br />discuss the options. However, he noted that the City has not allowed the <br />screening and storage of general debris. <br />Morelan again stated that it will not be possible to screen this storage totally <br />without putting the materials inside a building. <br />Fahey suggested that the business has been in existence for 20 years, and it <br />would not be reasonable for the City to expect immediate compliance with the <br />Code. Fahey suggested that perhaps the City should give the property owner a <br />couple of years to bring this site into compliance. <br />LaValle suggested that the Zoning Administrator and the City Administrator <br />work with Carlson to limit the number of vehicles, develop screening options, <br />and phase out the salvage portion of the business. The Administrator agreed to <br />meet with Mr. Carlson to see if some options could be developed that would <br />work for him while still meeting the intent of the ordinance. <br />The suggestion of the addition of an accessory building for storage was made. <br />Fahey asked if this would increase parking requirements. The Zoning <br />Administrator indicated that an accessory building would not increase parking <br />requirements, however, an addition onto a existing building would. <br />11Ir.
