The enclosure is crucial to Bjorklund's ability to operate <br />efficiently over' ~e winter months. Reviewing expansions of existing facilities allows the City an <br />opportunity to require that any deficiency in site improvements be brought into compliance with <br />current zoning cOdes. Ms. Frolik also explained there are extenuating circumstances wherein a <br />land exchange b~tween the City, the applicant, and his neighbor, Julian Johnson Construction, <br />have delayed devJclopment of the site plan.

There~re, City Staff recommends this particular site plan review case be processed in <br />two stages: the first stage, occurring this fall, will allow Mr. Bjorklund to construct the structure <br />that will enclose his operation, and the second stage will address the required site improvements <br />based on a currer/t site survey.
