Staff also suggested meeting at the Hanifl Shelter for a 10 a.m. departure and return to the shelter at approximately noon for a BBQ lunch. Weidt made motion, Klein seconded, to schedule the Citywide Bus Tour for Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 10 a.m. All Ayes. Motion carried. Discussion on Conditional Use Permit Amendment for Gusset Design At its June 18, 2012 meeting, Council discussed with Gusset Design owner Rick Burr his progress on compliance with the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) that was granted for the property at 15587 Forest Boulevard North in 2007 for the expansion of a legal non -conforming use. Council had directed staff to work with Rick on an amendment to the CUP to allow the construction of an exterior building. Staff had been receiving complaints regarding sandblasting outside the building, and an amendment to the CUP would allow construction of a portable blast booth with a dust collector that would abate the dust and noise. Instead of using sand, they would use steel shot in the blasting booth, which is reused and does not create the dust that sand does. The current CUP prohibits exterior storage on the property. Community Development Intern Liz Hanson explained that the application for a Conditional Use Permit Amendment was considered by the Planning Commission at its Thursday, August 9, 2012 meeting. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request with the conditions listed in the CUP and Resolution. Rick Burr was present, and he addressed the Council stating he did not want to add more conditions to the CUP; specifically, the condition stating there would be no other exterior storage on the property. Conditions were also added to require the installation of the landscaping as shown on the plan dated August 28, 2007, and the parking spaces to be assessable should parking become an issue at any time. It was noted that the location of the booth would use nine of the existing parking spaces. Rick also stated he would not be able to comply with the October 17, 2012 deadline for compliance since he had to go through the CUP amendment process. He requested a six-month extension. Council discussed with Rick the landscaping plan from 2007 and why it was never done. Rick stated the building fire had set him back, and he questioned the necessity of it since it bordered other industrial uses to the north and the creek to the east. Council was comfortable with Rick working with staff on revisions and substitutions as stated in one of the conditions of the amended CUP. Haas made motion, Petryk seconded, to approve RESOLUTION 2012-23 APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT FOR RICK BURR TO ALLOW AN EXPANSION OF A LEGAL NON -CONFORMING INDUSTRIAL USE ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 15587 FOREST BOULEVARD NORTH, with a change of the date from October 17, 2012 to December 17, 2012 to have all sandblasting conducted indoors or within the booth.
