MINUTES Planning Commission august 10, 1989 Hyland also pointed out that the semi - trailers were to be screened. The City Planner reported that a conditional use permit is required for the outdoor parking of semi - trailers on the site, and currently there is not a valid CUP for Slumberland. Slumberland has now made application for a CUP, and must meet the requirements of the ordinance with regard to fencing and screening. Costa asked how many trailers Slumberland is proposing to store on the site. Kaufman reported that Slumberland owns two semi - trailers and would occasionally store some trailers for their vendors. Costa asked if it were possible to store the trailers inside. The Planner stated that the purpose of the ordinance was to restrict the number of trailers that could be stored on the site and also to require screening for those that are stored. There are a variety of ways that the trailers could be screened such as berming or planting of trees. Drabik pointed out that Slumberland's track record has not been good, and suggested that the concerns raised tonight should be addressed before Slumberland is allowed to proceed with their application. The Planner pointed out that Slumberland will be required to submit a landscaping plan as well as a performance bond to cover the cost of installation of landscaping. If Slumberland does not follow through with the plan, the City can then cash the bond and have the work done. Vitale asked who would police the situation, pointing out that Slumberland has never completed their original landscaping. The Planner replied that the requirement of a bond or letter of credit will ensure that the landscaping is completed. Costa also pointed out that the holding pond is a mess and the banks should be cleaned up. DeLonais pointed out that Yorkton Ltd. may be responsible for the holding pond. Page -9-
