MINUTES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 18, 2014 The City Planner reported that in 2010 the City rezoned the Poolside property from General Business (B-3) District to Planned Unit Development (PUD) District in order to better manage and regulate the multiple buildings and used on the site. In conjunction with the rezoning, a PUD Peimit was approved for the property. At that time, the property owner expected to construct a new building in the near future to move some of the outdoor storage items into the building. The PUD Permit was a temporary three-year allowance and allowed for the outdoor storage of sales products and wooden pallets. That three-year permit expired about a year ago, and outdoor storage is occurring in violation of the Code. The applicant has asked to renew the PUD Permit for the outdoor storage, but did not ask for a specific time frame for this permit. The Planner noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval with some modifications to the conditions recommended in the August 5, 2014 planning report. Those modifications include allowing a two-year PUD Permit, requiring an escrow deposit to ensure compliance with the applicant indicating a reasonable amount would be acceptable, screening along the west property line inside the fence area, allowing the outdoor storage area to be surfaced with Class V materials, compliance to be achieved by October 31, 2014 with a following up inspection by June 1, 2015. Rob Anderson, Poolside, indicated that he is agreement with the City Planner's recommended conditions as modified by the Planning Commission. He indicated that his business is seasonal and when the business intensifies, property maintenance issues have gotten away from them. Neighboring property owners have complained, and when the City's Code Enforcement Officer made contact with Poolside, Anderson indicated that they have responded. Anderson stated that their goal would be to either be in compliance within two years or they will move their business. Keis asked if compliance would be achieved within two years or will Poolside start working to achieve compliance in two years. Anderson indicated that he could not answer that question, but indicated that they would comply. David Dorn, Jackson Street, presented several pictures showing the condition of the property. These pictures showed outdoor storage occurring outside of the designated storage area and unscreened, the fence with overgrowth and weeds along the fence, poor condition of the fence, and delivery trucks blocking access in and out of Jackson Street. Dorn noted that the outdoor storage area which was approved in 2010 consisted of a 16 foot by 40 foot area. Dom indicated that shortly after the approval that was granted in 2010, the storage area expanded beyond those 16 5
