Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />City Staff have some concerns regarding the need to be consistent and reasonable with <br />our enforcement policy within Ryan Industrial Park. Each property in Ryan Industrial <br />Park has a variety of circumstances making strict applications of the zoning code very <br />difficult for property owners to comply with. Therefore, I feel it is necessary to discuss <br />the following issues and set guidelines and /or parameters that will be acceptable to the <br />City Council in order for City Staff to adequately reflect these standards in discussions <br />with property owners and for subsequent planning reports. <br />After reviewing three Conditional Use Permit applications from property owners in Ryan <br />Industrial Park, there are several major issues relative to our zoning code that City Staff <br />felt should be clarified by the City Council. The issues involve: <br />• Acceptable parking and storage area surfacing materials. <br />• Exterior storage parameters. <br />• Whether curbing is necessary and practical in this area. <br />• Screening (security vs. public right -of -way visibility issue). <br />• Placement of exterior storage on property. <br />• Establishment of green areas. <br />The second item on the agenda for this workshop would be an update of City progress <br />regarding the Y2K issue. <br />Page 57 <br />
