MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MAY 8, 2008 Duray asked if the outdoor storage area proposed met the 60% maximum. The Planner replied that upon further analysis of the property he has determined that the outdoor storage area is slightly under 60%. Duray pointed out Item #5 on the Planner's report. The Planner indicated that that comment is asking the applicant to verify compliance with the Code relative to equipment and materials that will be stored on the site. Rossow stated that he wanted the CUP to be somewhat generic in nature so that it could apply to another user if Tri-State Bobcat vacates the site. The Planner indicated that some detail is needed in order to ensure compliance with the requirements listed in #5. The Planner agreed that the CUP could be drafted so that rt could be relevant for another user. Duray asked about Item #7 relative to outdoor storage being orderly and permitting access to all materials and equipment. Rossow indicated that the Fire Marshal has indicated that he is comfortable with the layout of access lanes. Rossow noted that Tri-State Bobcat will need room to accommodate access by a fully loaded semi. Duray asked about Item #8 relative to storage height. Rossow felt that Tri- State Bobcat will be able to keep storage at or lower than the 8 foot maximum height. The Planner noted that storage can exceed 8 feet in height provided that it is stored in its most compact condition. Barraclough asked if Tri-State Bobcat was planning to have a bobcat within the display area. Rossow felt there would be two pieces of equipment within the display area. The City Planner indicated that outdoor display is a component of the CUP and is allowable. Duray asked about #11 relative to trash container. Rossow noted that the trash container is currently in the northwest corner of the site. The Planner indicated that the trash container should be shown on the site plan. He also indicated that provided that the trash container is within the outdoor storage area, it does not need additional screening nor be within a trash enclosure. Duray asked about #14 relative to compliance with fire codes. It was noted that the Fire Chief and Fire Marshal have submitted their report relative to this property. Duray asked about #I S relative to site lighting. The City Planner pointed out that the site plan shows overhead lighting and meets Code requirements.
