MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION AUGUST 14, 2014 AMEND PUD -C DISTRICT & PUD PERMIT — 121 EAST LITTLE CANADA ROAD — POOLSIDE 4 The City Planner reported that Poolside, 122 East Little Canada Road, has requested an Amendment to the PUD -C District and a PUD Permit for outdoor storage and outdoor display area. He noted that in 2010 this property was rezoned to PUD -C from B-3 as a way to better manage and regulate multiple buildings and uses on the site. At that time a specific PUD Permit was approved. At that time the applicants indicated that they expected to construct a new building on the property to contain storage materials at some future point. With that in mind, the City approved a three-year allowance for the temporary outdoor storage of pool sales products and wooden pallets. That allowance expired in 2013 and the applicant is in violation of the terms of their 2010 PUD Permit. As a result, the applicant is asking to renew their permit to allow outdoor storage to continue to take place.

Dorn stated that he was opposed to the request given the condition of the property, maintenance issues, and failure to comply with the conditions of the 2010 permit. The Planner noted the unusual aspect of this outdoor storage in that while some outdoor display is allowed, outdoor storage is not. Under this PUD Zoning, however, a temporary allowance for outdoor storage has been made, but the understanding was that over time this outdoor storage would he brought indoors. The City Clerk reported that she spoke with David Dorn who indicated that his opposition to tonight's proposal related to code compliance issues related to grass cutting, dumpsters overflowing with stuff dumped alongside, and unapproved outdoor storage occurring. Dorn indicated that it was his understanding that the property owner was to build a building to bring the outdoor storage inside. Rob Anderson, Poolside, indicated that given the seasonal nature of the business, there are times of the year that they get behind in property maintenance. 1 -le indicated that they are now making a concerted effort to clean up the area in the back. He noted that the majority of this area is not visible, although there are some points where it is visible. Anderson indicated that he had no problem with the recommendations of the City Planner except for landscape screening of the outdoor storage area and for -5- 10
