Observations: Mr. Loabnch's property is approximately 2 acres in size and is zoned E-1 Employment. The applicant owns Metro Environmental Site Services Inc., which requires storage of three construction boxes and three trailers. City Code states outside storage of equipment is permitted with the issuance of a conditional use permit. The applicant decided to apply for an interim use permit due to the fact that he does not.plan on milzing the subject property for outside storage as a principal use for the life of the property. The subject property is surrounded by properties that are zoned E-l, B-2, and Planned Unit Development (Northfork golf course and rural residential development): The proposed use will have minimal impact to the property since the applicant does not need to utilize the equipment on a daily basis. The construction boxes and trailers are brought to a project site and left at the site until the project is complete, which ranges l'rom three weeks to several months. The equipment would then be transported back to the Ramsey parcel until the start of another project. The applicant installed a recycled concrete surface on the property in order to provide access to the equipment. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the request at their June 3, 2004 meeting. Kevin and Jennifer Lynnes' stated concern and opposition to the interim use permit during the public hearing. Mr. and Mrs. Lynnes' stated that they believe the applicant to be storing hazardous materials in the construction boxes and are parking business vehicles on the public street in close proximity to their business.
