daughter and convert the daughter's existing home into living quarters for seasonal employees of the kennel operation. When informed that City Code restricts the number of main buildings to one per lot of record, the Delaneys expressed a desire to not subdivide the property and apply for a conditional use permit to accommodate their unique uses. At the same time, it was brought to the attention of City Staff that the kennel operation, which is defined as a pre-existing non-conforming use, has been expanding over the years, even as recent as 1989. The expansion of a non- conforming use does require application for a conditional use permit, city Staff then determined that it would be in the best interest of Charles and Loral I. to sanction the commercial kennel operation on the site in conjunction with the conditional use permit to have more than one residential structure on a lot of record.

Case #4: Request for Site Plan Approval; Case of Jim Charest, Egan Oil Company Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik stated that Mr. Jim Charest, Egan Oil Company, is requesting site plan approval to construct a 4,000 square foot cold storage warehouse on Lot 3, Block 2, HY- 10 Ramsey. The subject property is zoned I-1 Industrial for which warehousing is a permitted use. The warehouse is proposed to be a concrete block structure used to store construction materials. The proposed site plan discusses the fact that there would continue to be some exterior storage use on the property that should be screened from Armstrong Boulevard N.W. and also that a corrected drainage plan should be submitted to reflect that drainage will flow to a drainage area to the rear of the property. City Engineer, Steve Jankowski, stated that in his letter to Mr. Egan he informed him of the screening requirements and the drainage plan. He suggested a 4' berm and then with trees planted on the berm, it will meet the screening requirements. He stated Mr. Charest is agreeable. Mr. Jankowski stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission is agreeable to Mr. Charest planting seedlings. Councilmember Pearson questioned why Mr. Charest's property is being singled out to be screened if others don't have to be. Mr. Jankowski answered that City Code requires that developments along streets should have some type of screening. Ms. Frolik stated the screening is required because of exterior storage. Councilmember Cich inquired how the berm would assist the drainage. Mr. Jankowski stated that the material for the berm would be taken from a low area which would assist the drainage.
