reflected on the Site Plan for verification. Presently, the dumpster is positioned in clear view from Quicksilver Street and from the residential properties across the street. With the building expansion, this seems like an opportune time to provide screening for the dumpster so that it is not so evident from the public road or residential homes across the street. This could be in the form of a constructed enclosure or with some evergreen trees in the right-of-way. The Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing on the request at their June 1, 2017 meeting and there were no written or verbal comments received. Alternatives Alternative 1. Adopt Resolution # 17-06-126 granting approval of the Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of a lawful, nonconforming use on the Subject Property. The cabinet shop has been operating in this location for over forty (40) years. While it is tight in terms of expansion, it appears that all minimum setbacks are being met and it also appears that the additional two (2) parking stalls required can fit on site. As long as the Applicant provides a Certificate of Survey from a licensed surveyor that confirms this information and revises the plans as outlined in the Staff Review Letter, Staff supports this option. Alternative 2. Do not approve the request for a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan to expand a lawful, nonconforming use on the Subject Property. If the building expansion is not authorized, it may result in the business looking at alternative locations. It seems to have coexisted with the adjacent residential properties fairly well over the decades. The proposed expansion would provide additional office space, which is a permitted use in this zoning district, and thus, as long as the Applicant complies with the Staff Review Letter, Staff would not support this alternative. Funding Source: All costs associated with this request are the responsibility of the Applicant. Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommends approving Resolution #17-06-126 granting Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit approval for an expansion of a lawful nonconforming use at 16735 Quicksilver Street NW. Action: Motion to approve Resolution #17-06-126 granting Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit approval for an expansion of a lawful nonconforming use at 16735 Quicksilver Street NW subject to review and approval as to legal form by the City Attorney.
