MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MARCH 26, 1997 Shamp indicated that Donovan needs 2,500 square feet of office space, and is currently utilizing the trailer as temporary office space. The trailer is located in one of the bays of the Donovan shop. Shamp also indicated it was his understanding the City would not allow the construction of additional space on the property until there is improved road access to the site. The City Planner reported that the Council discussed the road situation approximately ten years ago. At that time the Council suggested to Donovan Construction and Roseville Plumbing that no building permits would be issued for these sites until there is public street access to the properties. Scalze felt staff should explore the Code issues involved in having a trailer located inside a building prior to taking any action on the request for CUP extension. Shamp reported that in the short-term Donovan needs office space. In the long -term, Shamp felt it would be advantageous to both Donovan and Roseville Plumbing to be able to expand their buildings. However, the Council has indicated that until there is a 9 -ton road to the properties, these buildings could not be expanded. Shamp again pointed out that Donovan's attorneys are still trying to resolve the title problems for the property. It was suggested the request be tabled pending additional information on the road issue as well as Code issues involved in having a trailer located inside a building. LaValle pointed out that the road improvement would be an expensive undertaking. Shamp agreed, but pointed out that Donovan's assets would be improved by having road access. Shamp felt additional road right -of -way was necessary, but suggested there would be a detrimental impact on his neighbor's property in dedicating this right -of -way. Shamp indicated he was not lobbying either for or against the road. Scalze suggested the City Planner prepare a recommendation on the road issue. The Planner indicated there is a 40 -foot road easement existing now. There was significant study on the road done when the building to the south expanded a few years ago. Widening of the road easement would pretty much wipe out the parking area for the lot to the south. Page 58
