MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 22, 1999 Fahey noted that the Code says that required parking areas must be paved. This was also discussed at a recent Council workshop. At that workshop the consensus was that required parking was to be paved although outdoor storage areas could be surfaced with Class V. Hunt reported that the soils are such in the rear of the property that the blacktop would quickly fall apart. Hunt reported that the whole area sinks. She has put in Class V each year and it is gone after a period of time. Scalze suggested that if a building can be constructed on these soils, than the parking lot can be paved. Scalze pointed out that this requirement applies to the parking lot, not the storage area where heavy equipment would be stored. Hunt reported that they have only five to six cars parked on the site each day, therefore, the rear parking would be seldom used. Scalze pointed out that building uses change, and the Code requires parking based on building size as well as use of the building. Therefore, the Code must be enforced to ensure that there is adequate parking both now and in the future. Morelan pointed out that the City does not have an updated site plan. Hunt reported that it was submitted this evening. The Zoning Administrator reported that the site plan is missing some items, and indicated that she would work with the applicant to get the site plan completed. Fahey noted that there is another applicant for a CUP this evening that is asking that he not be required to pave the rear parking area, and the Planning Commission is recommending that this area not be paved. Fahey pointed out that all applicants must be treated equally. If there are soil conditions to be considered, then the Council needs that information. LaValle suggested that action on this CUP be tabled until the Public Works Director or City Engineer can look at the property and comment on the soil conditions. Mr. LaValle introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 99- 6-147— TABLING ACTION ON THE CUP APPLICATION FOR OPEN AND OUTDOOR STORAGE FOR CARLSON SALES & SERVICE UNTIL THE JULY 14, 1999 Page 23
