Ms. Brady arrived at 6:36 p.m. Staff recommended approval of the application based on the conditions of approval as listed in the staff report. Applicant, Nick Arnt, 2190 Phelps Road, answered qu estions of the board members. Council Members expressed concerns regarding the am ount of storage on the site, possible erosion, and potential for debris to blow off the site onto other properties. Staff responded that the materials stored will incl ude bituminous concrete and rubble, of which erosion and debris should not be a factor. T he city has not received any complaints to date for this site. The properties s urrounding the site are also owned by Arnt and there are no residential areas nearby. Mr. Arnt explained that normally the amount of stor age would not be so great, but due to the economy the crushing of materials has been less frequent causing larger stockpiles than usual. Mr. Arnt explained the history of the business and future plans. Recyclable materials are accepted and crushed on site. Staff pointed out where future commercial developme nt might be located. A large area of low wetland exists just north of the site, which will serve as a buffer to any future development to the north. Staff does not anticipate any problems with the pro posed interim use.
