MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 18, 2014 overgrowth along the fence line. Dorn also indicated that at the Planning Commission meeting Anderson talked about economic hardships, but then indicated that he would be hiring someone to maintain the grass. Dorn indicated that what Poolside says will happen does not actually happen. Greg Ostenson, Jackson Street, requested that the City require that the existing fence be restained as it looks bad. Dorn noted that a portion of the fence along Jackson Street is chain link rather than wood. He indicated that the neighbors would prefer the entire length to be wood to provide screening. Dorn was concerned that Poolside leveled off the area adjacent to the chain link fence and that they would begin to use that area for additional storage. He noted the Planning Commission recommendation that a landscape screen be planted inside of the chain link fence. Keis asked Dorn what he would like to see. Dorn stated that he would like to see a good faith effort by Poolside to keep up and maintain this property. He also requested that the outdoor storage area be blacktopped so that the area is defined, and the outdoor storage can be easily enforced. He also asked for some repercussions in the event that Poolside does not comply with the conditions of their PUD Permit. The City Planner indicated that if Poolside does not comply, the Council has the ability to revoke the PUD Permit. McGraw noted that in 2010 the indication was that a building would be constructed so that the outdoor storage could be eliminated. He noted that Poolside is still at this same place and no progress has been made toward a new building. McGraw noted that Poolside has not answered the question about the status of a future building. He also felt that a two year extension was a lot to ask for. Anderson stated that he did answer the question, and the answer is that he does not know. Anderson stated that he cannot financially construct a new building given the economy from 2008 through Last year. Anderson indicated that he will conform to whatever the City is requesting and will clean up the outdoor storage as well as the landscaping. Anderson suggested that if the neighbors have a problem with the condition of the property that they contact him and he will address the situation. He stated that he would make more of an effort to have someone responsible for maintenance. Keis asked about trucks blocking Jackson Street. Anderson reported that companies making deliveries to Poolside as well as Poolside employees are award that the street cannot be blocked. He indicated that deliveries are supposed to occur to their rented space along Little Canada Road. 7
