August 14 , 1987 To: Members of the City Planning Commission From: David M. Childs, City Manager Re: Request for Minnesota Scientific_ for a temporary office facility. This is a request for a special permit to allow Minnesota Scientific, 3839 Chandler Drive N.E. to locate a 12 ' x 56 ' temporary mobile office on the east side of their business at that location. They request permission to allow its use through December of 1988. The applicants lease the space from Donatelle Properties -and have their permission for this temporary use but need City approval. Their need is based on a very rapid growth of their business and a desire to stay in the City. The Zoning Ordinance does not address such a temporary use but the City Attorney states that it could be handled using the same iprocedures as a Conditional Use Permit if the City wishes to grant the temporary permit. The difference in this case is that in a Conditional Use Permit it ,is already assumed that the use is. allowed and that it is up . to ' the City to impose reasonable conditions . In this case, however, the conditions can be imposed but also the more basic decision about whether the use is allowed at all must also be made. If the Commission decides to allow a temporary use permit, several conditions imposed should include: • A specific timetable for removal of the structure. • Requirement that its placement comply with applicable building codes. * That it be properly skirted or otherwise installed to be aesthetically pleasing to the neighborhood. * That the permit only apply to the operations of Minnesota Scientific and that immediate removal be required should they cease operations prior to the expiration of the permit. Notice has been mailed to .property owners within 350. feet of this location and no calls have been received either for or against . this request.
