• • CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MARCH 5, 2003 APPROVED A dome would need a conditional use permit because of the height, as regulated by Sec. 3, Subd. 4.C. on pages 3-16 to 3-17. In addition to those requirements, the standard CUP requirements would apply (p 3-6). Staff has spoken with the community development director in White Bear Lake about the tennis dome there. Some people didn't like to see the glowing dome at night. However, it did not cast light on other properties and there were no noise or traffic issues. The issue of whether or not it needed a sprinkler system was difficult. This is a building code issue to be determined by the building officials and fire chief. 2. Gymnasiums, Dance Schools: We have been asked where these fit in. They would be considered recreational businesses, which are allowed in the GB and LI zones. 3. Pole Buildings: The confusing passage regarding the expansion of pole buildings has been completely deleted (p 3-15). Commercial/industrial buildings must now meet the requirements on page 3-14. 4. Exterior Storage on Residential Lot: The exterior storage of personal property is adequately addressed in the ordinance, on page 3-36. Little has changed from the existing ordinance. This item has been discussed with the City Attorney, and it is staff's opinion that this passage covers the issue. Community Development Director Grochala stated the issue of Motor Vehicle Parking in Residential and Rural Zoning Districts also has to be discussed. Councilmember Carlson stated she is concerned about there not being a limit on the number of vehicles in rural districts great than 2 1/2 acres. She stated there does need to be a limit Community Development Director Grochala advised in the old ordinance there were no restrictions whatsoever in rural district. The 21/2 acres was an addition. Planning Associate Brixius suggested language that could be added to the ordinance to eliminate the concern regarding motor vehicle parking. The Council directed staff to change the language from the 21/2 acres to 10 acres with a limit of two vehicles to rural districts and one vehicle to residential districts. Councilmember Carlson reviewed the draft ordinance and asked for clarification in regard to her questions about several issues. • Staff made the appropriate changes and indicated more information will be included in the Friday update.
