MINUTES CITY COUNCIL APRIL 24, 2013 CUP - 3164 RYAN LANE - ROSSOW Blesener opened the Public Hearing to consider the application submitted by Lee Rossow for Conditional Use Permit to allow Major Auto Repair, Over - The -Road Trucking, Body Shop, Towing and Impound, and Outdoor Storage including three storage containers for property located at 3164 Ryan Lane. It was noted that the City Planner and Planning Commission have recommended approval of the CUP subject to conditions outlined in the Planner's report. The City Planner reviewed his April 5, 2013 report noting that the applicant has applied for an amendment to his existing Conditional Use Permit to change some of the uses on the property as well as some of the users of the property. The Planner noted that there is an existing Interim Use Permit allowing outdoor storage at 3164 Ryan Lane by Q3, which is a business on an adjacent site. The applicant is requesting that Q3 be allowed to expand this off-site outdoor storage use into the area previous occupied by an on -site tenant. The next effect is not an expansion of the outdoor storage area, but a transfer of this area to one user. The applicant is also requesting the ability to add three storage containers on the site in an area previously approved for other outdoor storage. The Planner noted that the applicant has not provided detail on the storage containers, but recommended approval subject to compliance with ordinance requirements. The Planner then noted that the applicant has requested an amendment to his CUP to allow a series of potential uses on the property, i.e. Major Auto Repair, over- The -Road Trucking, Body Shop, and Towing and Impound. The Planner then reviewed the recommendations outlined in his April 5th report, recommending approval of the request. He noted modification of his recommendation from tabling to approval of the CUP request for Major Auto Repair indicating that the applicant provided the needed detail at the Planning Commission meeting. Blesener asked if there was adequate outdoor storage space available for the building tenant. The City Planner replied that there is an outdoor storage area identified for Balta's Towing. The Planner again noted that the net result is that the amount of outdoor storage remains the same, the change relates to which business is occupying the outdoor storage areas. Lee Rossow, owner of 3164 Ryan Lane, reported the history of the occupancy of this property. He then reported that the current building tenant, Balta's Towing, was notified by the City that they needed a CUP in order to do major auto repair on the property. Blesener asked about the CUP request for Over - The -Road Trucking. Rossow indicated that his 3
