To approve Resolution 1061-16, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Variance to reduce the front yard setback for a parking lot at 2466 Bronson Drive; Planning Case No. MU2016-003. Ayes – 7 Nays – 0 Motion carried. Resolution 1062-16, Consideration of a recommendation for approval of a Conditional Use Permit for Open and Outdoor Storage as an Accessory Use for property at 2466 Bronson Drive. Planner Sevald stated within the I-1 District, a Conditional Use Permit is required for “Open and outdoor storage as an accessory use”. It was noted outdoor storage will be located: (1) south of the Salt Storage Building (mulch and gravel bins); and (2) south of the Maintenance Building (plow attachments, trailers, park equipment, misc. items). Outside storage must be screened by a solid fence or wall. The concrete mulch/gravel bins will be fenced, and screened by an 8’ decretive wall along a portion of Bronson Drive. The outside storage area south of the Maintenance Building will be screened from Mounds View Boulevard by trees (Black Hill Spruce, Scots Pine, Hawthorn). These trees will be 6’ in height when planted, and grow to a height of 20’ (Hawthorn) and 50’ (pine trees). Staff reviewed the request in further detail and recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit for open and outdoor storage as an accessory use. Commissioner Klebsch requested Public Works staff not park vehicles and equipment in plain view of the baseball field spectators. Public Works Director Erickson stated an opaque fence could be considered for this diagonal length. Commissioner Schiltgen asked if there would be a great deal of equipment still being stored outdoors after the new facility was constructed. Public Works Director Erickson indicated several trailers and other miscellaneous playground/sports equipment would still be parked outdoors. Commissioner Klebsch questioned if the City would be held accountable if this outdoor storage area were to get out of hand. Public Works Director Erickson stated the City would be held accountable for this space. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Rundle/Commissioner Klebsch.
