MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 13, 2008 Duray asked the size of the commercial dumpster being proposed. Maietta reported that it would be a 10-yard dumpster. He indicated that he operates a residential roofing and siding business and does a lot of storm damage work. Maietta indicated that this creates additional disposal needs. Duray asked why the 4-yard dumpster is not being stored in the trash enclosure. Maietta replied that there is no room for it, and that is why he was going to build a larger garage. Socha asked why a commercial dumpster was needed on the property if Temo Sunrooms builds its sunrooms on site. Maietta reported that the assembly of a sum•oom on site does not generate a lot of trash; therefore, he does not have a dumpster at a sunroom construction site. However, the roofing and siding aspects of his business does generate more disposal needs. Maietta reported that he does have an on-site dumpster for roofing jobs. However, siding jobs take longer and most cities will only allow the dumpster at the job site for a limited amount of time or on the street for a day or two. Therefore, he would like to have a commercial dumpster at 2905 Country Drive to bring the siding debris back to the shop location. Knudsen noted that Maietta is asking that the larger commercial dumpster be allowed approximately 25% of the time. Knudsen asked what would determine when the dumpster is there. Maietta replied that it would be a matter of demand. The dumpster would be utilized for the storm damage repair portion of his business, allowing him to bring trash back from the job site. Barraclough asked for additional clarification on the two dumpsters. Maietta reported that the 4-yard dumpster would be permanent and would support his sum•oom business. That dumpster would be emptied once per week. A 10-yard commercial dumpster would come and go and Maietta reported that it came and went four times during 2007. Duray asked when Maietta would be building the up to 800-square foot garage/trash enclosure. Maietta reported that it is difficult to project the future of his industry, therefore, he could not estimate when he would build the garage. Maietta stated that if he can store his display trailers outside, that reduces some of his need for the garage. Knudsen stated that the City tries to work with business owners, but pointed out that outdoor storage has been a significant issue in the City. He pointed out that this particular business is directly adjacent to a residential area. Knudsen also noted that the concept of the office/office-showroom business for this area was that there would be -4-
