There are problems with exterior storage issues and septic site issues. The Rice Creek Watershed District is requiring a permit so they will also be doing a review. City Planner Smyser advised the only possible solution is to replace the septic system if it does fail the inspection.

Planning Associate Gretz advised the existing septic is in the rear of the building and that area will be filled in. Mr. Gershwin distributed an outline regarding his requested and the issues. He stated one of the issues is having an alternative site for the septic system. Planning Associate Gretz advised this item will be on the Planning and Zoning Board agenda next week. Mr. Gershwin stated the question is whether the Council will be favorable to a CUP. Also, the lot borders residential so a variance would be necessary. The Comprehensive Plan also indicates a Performance Land Use Area, which prohibits outdoor storage. Planning Associate Gretz advised the Performance Land Use Area was given to two sites within the City because one zoning would not accommodate the property. • Ms. Gershwin stated the definition of outdoor storage specifically prohibits outdoor storage because the equipment is for sale also.
