MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JULY 24, 2013 Blesener expressed concern with the number of vehicles on the property, and questioned whether an IUP should be issued to lease to an off -site tenant. He suggested that perhaps this outdoor storage space should be used by building tenants. Blesener reported that he visited the site and found it difficult to drive through given the number of vehicles and the double - parking of these vehicles. Dustin Schaf, representing John Krebsbach, indicated that if the site were better organized this would resolve Blesener's concerns. Blesener suggested that action on this matter be tabled pending submittal of a plan showing how the site could be organized to accommodate all the vehicles as well as the IUP storage area. There was discussion relative to the number of vehicles on the site fluctuating with Schaf pointing out that it is not always as congested as was currently observed. The Council agreed with the Mayor's comments and indicated support for tabling action on this matter. The City Administrator stated that staff could work with the property owner on a site plan that showed more organization of the site. The City Planner could then review and comment on this plan. Roger Lillemoen, property owner in Ryan Industrial Park, asked what would be allowed to be parked in the front of the building. The City Planner reported that the required parking in the front of the building is allocated for the parking of employee and customer vehicles. He indicated that this parking could also be used for the parking of licensed and operable vehicles that are waiting for service (on a short term basis). The required parking cannot be used for outdoor storage. The City Administrator noted that the customer vehicles for the auto repair business in this building can be parked in the short term in the required parking spaces provided that these vehicles are licensed and operable. Blesener indicated that it appears that about 2 /3rds of the required parking is being taken up by the auto repair business in this building. Blesener suggested that based on the activity at this site, he was not convinced that there was room to rent outdoor storage space to an off -site tenant. Blesener noted that there have been times that he visited this site where drive aisles have been blocked. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2013 -7 -130 — CONTINUING THE PUBLIC HEARING AND TABLING ACTION ON CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR OUTDOOR STORAGE AND INTERIM USE PERMIT ALLOWING OUTDOOR STORAGE FOR OFF -SITE TENANT AT 3177 SPRUCE STREET, JOHN KREBSBACH, UNTIL THE AUGUST 14, 2013 MEETING WITH DIRECTION TO THE APPLICANT TO 4
