Councilnqember Pearson asked if the zoning has changed on this land. He explained one <br />gentleman was concerned that he was required to have brick fronting, curb and gutter, and nice <br />sod. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik replied the .zoning is basically the same. The <br />architectural standards over th~ years have increased. If this applicant were to develop this <br />property they would have to put up a brick building. There is a provision that the property owner <br />has the right to apply for outdoor storage as a principal use for a certain amount of time. <br /> <br />Councihnember Pearson questioned if landscaping is required. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik replied a surface to control dust would be required, and <br />there is currently crushed concrete. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook noted this allows a use for the property until it is ready to be developed, <br />and it is better than having something put in that would have to be redeveloped in the future. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen commented it is her understanding that the applicant is planning to <br />build the facility on another site in the City of Ramsey, and this is a temporary solution. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec suggested this be reviewed in a one year period. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak asked if there would be a charge to apply for the permit againin one year.' <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik replied the current rate is $600 to apply. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig inquired about the City's ability to know if there is anything hazardous <br />being stored on the site. ' <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik replied the City works with the Anoka County <br />Environmental Department. If the City requests, the Envirom~nental Department will research the <br />business and what is kept in their trailers. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec asked if Je~ry Streich has the authority to check the storage for flmm'nable <br />concerns. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Kapler responded in the affirmative. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak asked what the applicant does and what can be expected in the boxes. <br /> <br />Commun. ity Development Director Frolik replied as She understands, it is equipment that is used <br />on site, and when a project is finished it would come back to this site. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Kurak, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to adoPt Resolution #04- <br />06-162 adopting Findings of Fact #0679 relating to an interim use permit request for outdoor <br />storage as a principal use on the subject property zoned E-1 Ernplo3(ment. <br /> <br />City Council/June 22, 2004 <br />Page 19 of 31 <br /> <br />P87 <br /> <br /> <br />
