Duration of Use. For similar structures requested in Little Canada (such as Linder's Greenhouses at the Marketplace), the City has regulated the duration of the temporary use. The Linder's Conditional Use Permit stipulates a duration from April 1 to July 1. The applicant should identify its proposed duration of the temporary building and shade -cloth cover for the purposes of the Conditional Use Permit. Signs. Signs on the Knox site are controlled by the existing PUD and are not permitted on the temporary structure. Temporary signage may be allowed subject to City permit and temporary sign regulations. Other Issues. Although the shade -cloth covering will be removed each year, the steel tubular frame supporting it is proposed to be permanent. Since this area is exposed to the traffic along Country Drive (and Interstate 694), the applicant should be aware that the permit for the structures is one for sales, but not permanent storage. Under the duration of use issue, the time frame for the temporary structures should also limit the allowance of storage of materials to avoid unsightly visual clutter in the front of the building over the winter. Summary. We recommend approval of the Knox Conditional Use Permit, contingent upon the following conditions: 1. All garden center structures, including the existing structure, be located so as to comply with the 40 foot front yard setback. 2. The applicant identify the period of temporary structure operation, and such period apply to the use of the garden center for storage of garden center materials as well as placement of structures. cc: Kathy Glanzer Greg Schmidt Scott Tangen Page 7
