Y � <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill stated that fencing could help but a variance would <br /> also be needed for transitioning and it would still be clear that outdoor storage is occurring. He <br /> stated that notification was provided to the neighboring property owners and no comments were <br /> received so perhaps the neighbors do not mind, but again noted that variances would be required <br /> to allow that activity. <br /> Greg Dahlheimer, Rocky Mountain Investment Group, stated that he was not trying to be <br /> unlawful as the tax statement identifies the property as commercial/industrial. He stated that he <br /> believes that the property is already fenced. <br /> Jeremy Anderson, Countryside Services, stated that this property is fenced with a gravel entrance <br /> that he has maintained for a number of years. He stated that his intention would simply be to <br /> continue to store trailers on the property as he has done. He stated that he has pictures of <br /> neighboring commercial properties that have fences and outdoor storage. He stated that he could <br /> not see a resident wanting to build a home on this property. He noted that when the neighboring <br /> blacksmith holds a class, both sides of the road are packed full of vehicles and he has even <br /> allowed shared parking on his lot for the classes. He stated that some of the neighboring <br /> property owners have even stored trailers on this property. He stated that the neighbors all get <br /> along and he plows out the other businesses for no charge. He acknowledged that there are <br /> eyesores in the area but did not believe that his property was one of them. He stated that he is <br /> growing his property and is looking for a small lot to store trailers. He stated that he would <br /> comply with any necessary conditions. He stated that the blacksmith building next door would <br /> not be ideal to be located next to a residential property. He stated that he desires to continue the <br /> activity that he has done on the property. He stated that his business has grown from four <br /> employees to ten employees and is simply looking for a little additional space for the trailers. He <br /> stated that his business sells and services snowplows and even services the City snowplows. <br /> Councilmember Johns asked if this parcel is part of 6315 and would be subdivided or whether it <br /> is a separate piece. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill confirmed that this is a separate parcel. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated that he would support rezoning. <br /> Councilmember Riley agreed that this would seem to be a difficult position for a residential <br /> home to be constructed. He asked if there are any additional factors that could be added to help <br /> provide transitioning. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill noted that variances would be required and therefore <br /> if the direction would be to support rezoning, staff would bring additional details back for further <br /> discussion. He noted the overall goal to improve the image of Highway 10 as well. <br /> Acting Mayor LeTourneau stated that one of his thoughts was the desires of the Highway 10 <br /> image. He stated that there is a desire and discussion around how Highway 10 is viewed as <br /> people drive through the community and what the community wants that corridor to look like as <br /> a representation of the City. <br /> City Council/November 13,2018 <br /> Page 12 of 14 <br />
