MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />AUGUST 12, 1999 <br />assumption is that those conditions will not change. While the use <br />changes, the condition of the land does not. <br />Stanke suggested that it would not make sense to put up a <br />screening fence inside his boundary line fence. Stanke reported <br />that if he moves his fence in to the 40 -foot front yard setback and <br />puts slats in it for screening, there will not be enough room to park <br />the semi - trailers. <br />Duray asked if required parking could be located in the front yard <br />setback. The Zoning Administrator replied that it could. <br />Duray asked if a sunset date could be imposed on the semi - trailer <br />parking on the west end of the site. The City Planner replied that <br />the City cannot grant a variance with a time limit. However, it <br />could defer enforcement action for the length of the lease. <br />Duray asked if the CUP could provide for property compliance at <br />the end of the lease. Stanke indicated that he would agree to a 20- <br />month timeframe for parking of the semi - trailers. <br />The Zoning Administrator replied that semi - trailer storage was an <br />allowable accessory use, but only in the rear and side yards. If the <br />City allows storage in the required front yard in this case, it will <br />have difficulty denying the same request of the next applicant. <br />Kraemer asked when property compliance is required. The City <br />Planner replied that the City has indicated a December 31st date for <br />compliance. <br />Stanke asked about allowing the semi - trailer parking for one year <br />at the end of which time he would apply for a building permit. <br />Montour pointed out that the City needs to act on the CUP and <br />Variance. Montour noted that Stanke has not complied with <br />conditions of the 1989 approvals, i.e. paving of parking areas. <br />Kraemer asked if there were any legalities the City had to consider <br />given that Stanke has a lease for the outdoor storage of these semi- <br />trailers. The Planner reported that the issue is the use and whether <br />it was legally established. <br />There was no one from the audience wishing to comment on this <br />matter. <br />Page 141 <br />
