COUNCIL BUSINESS Case #1: Request for an Interim Use Permit to Allow for Outdoor Storage in the E-2 Employment District; Case of Bruce Yolk Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon explained that Bruce V olk of B & A Cylinder has submitted an application for an Interim Use Permit to allow for outdoor storage of Recreational Vehicles (R V) as a secondary principal use on the property located at 14165 Ramsey Boulevard. Mr. V olk' s property is approximately 4.5 acres in size and is zoned E-2 Employment. Mr. V olk is operating a manufacturing facility as the principal use on the subject property. The applicant is also storing R V's on the property, which lS considered a secondary principal use operating on the property. City Code states that there shall be one principal use operating on a property. On March 24, 2003, the City sent Mr. V olk a letter notifying him that storing R V's on his property was in violation of City Code and he needed to remove the items from his property or discuss other options with the City. !'vIr. V olk would like to continue to store R V's for R V Wodd and, therefore, submitted an arplication requesting an interim use permit to store recreational vehicles as a principal secondary use on his property from December 1 to August I of every year. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the request at their November 6, 2003 meeting. During the public hearing, the applicants stated their objection to installing a Class 5 surface where the R V's will be stored. They are concerned with making the investment of installing a Class 5 surface if the permit is to expire in two years. The applicants stated they would be willing to provide lawn maintenance on a weekly basis in lieu of installing a Class 5 surface. The Plmming Commission recommended that the City Council approve the Interim Use Permit to allow B&A Cylinder to store RV's and travel trailers as a secondary principal use on the subject property until August 1,2005. The Plam1ing Commission also recommended that the IUP include language requiring the applicant to provide lawn maintenance on a weekly basis within the area where the R V's will be parked, Councilmember Elvig inquired if Mr. V olk' s propeny was in the moratorium. 30 City CouncillNovember 25,2003 Page 6 of 30
