Hanson Mr. Greg Schroeder Ms. Elizabeth Mursko Mrs. Kathy Glanzer The purpose of tonight's workshop meeting is to review and discuss code enforcement issues relative to Ryan Industrial Park. The City Administrator indicated that staff would like the direction of the City Council regarding key Code issues prior to the processing of Conditional Use Permits in Ryan Industrial Park as a part of the City's code enforcement efforts in the Park. Mursko reviewed an overview she put together summarizing exterior storage requirements in place in both Little Canada and surrounding cities. She pointed out that all require a Conditional Use Permit in industrial areas as well as have some screening requirements. Storage is confined to the side and rear yards. While security is an issue with regard to screening in some cities, others have required the screening without addressing security concerns that property owners may have. Most cities require 100% screening or fully enclosed exterior storage. LaValle indicated that while the ordinances surrounding cities have in place are as reported by Mursko, the reality is different. PAGE 13
