Public Hearing <br /> Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 7:28 p.m. <br /> Presentation <br /> Senior Planner McGuire Brigl presented the staff report stating that staff recommends approving <br /> Resolution #20-282 for an Interim Use Permit for parking on gravel surfacing and the use of <br /> storage containers currently on the subject property. <br /> Commissioner Anderson asked for details on the containers. <br /> Richard Lee, applicant,replied that they are shipping containers similar to the last case. He stated <br /> that these containers would be front loaded. He stated that the current tenant uses three containers <br /> for salt storage and the other containers are used for storage of seasonal equipment. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy stated that there are six containers on the site and asked if the intent would <br /> be to keep the container between the building and Ferret Street. <br /> Mr. Lee believed that the tenant would keep the container in that location. He stated that the <br /> property is fenced with gates and that container is easily accessible as it sits across from the gate. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy asked for details on the site setbacks. <br /> Senior Planner McGuire Brigl replied that these are unique uses and because the entrance of the <br /> building is to the south, it is not that much of a concern with the container on the front of the <br /> building. She stated that the containers are easily moved, and that container could be moved to <br /> another location. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy stated that he would anticipate that the City would continue to receive <br /> these types of requests and therefore he would be concerned with continuing to approve interim <br /> use permits, rather than modifying the ordinance. He stated in this case the container is not <br /> screened from the road. <br /> Commissioner Woestehoff asked when the container usage began. <br /> Mr. Lee replied that the previous owner constructed the building and used the property from 1986 <br /> to 2018. He stated that when he purchased the property in 2018, some of the containers were <br /> already onsite. <br /> Commissioner Woestehoff commented that these containers do not seem to be temporary and seem <br /> to be long-term storage in a temporary container and based off the lifespan of these types of <br /> containers, he would hesitant. He also recognized that the property is listed for redevelopment and <br /> it would be easier to remove these containers than to remove a building. <br /> Planning Commission/December 3, 2020 <br /> Page 6 of 15 <br />
