6.02: Public Hearing: Consider Request for an Interim Use Permit to Allow Open and <br />Outside Storage on a Portion of the Property Located at 9525 156th Avenue NW <br />(Project No. 22-138); Case of Name Brand Self Storage Ramsey, LLC <br />Public Hearing <br />Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 7:41 p.m. <br />Presentation <br />City Planner McCann presented the staff report stating that staff recommends approval of the <br />Interim Use Permit (IUP) for open and outside storage on the subject property for five years. <br />Chairperson Bauer stated that he did reach out to staff about the four-year request as typically five <br />years is allowed. He noted that part of the proposal for outdoor storage is because of decreased <br />demand for indoor storage and therefore the five-year period would seem appropriate. <br />Citizen Input <br />Josh Peterson, applicant, thanked the Commission for the consideration. He stated that he was not <br />aware the typical term for an IUP was five years and therefore would like that length of time. He <br />noted that he has not been able to complete the full build out because of increase costs and interest <br />rates and therefore he believes that this proposal will allow the business to continue to grow and <br />scale up. <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked the demand for outdoor storage. <br />Mr. Peterson replied that they do receive calls but because they did not have the appropriate <br />approvals, he did not want to go too far down that path. <br />Commissioner Anderson asked if the site is paved. <br />Mr. Peterson replied that the site is setup with curb. and gutter around the perimeter with <br />landscaping as a buffer and class five in any area where a building has not yet been constructed. <br />He stated that they paved around the existing buildings and 12.5 feet around the north side. He <br />stated that they would complete the paving as demand grows and buildings are constructed. He <br />stated that there is class five material on the entire site. <br />Commissioner Gengler referenced the north end and asked if there is a fence. <br />Mr. Peterson replied that there is a fence around the entire facility. <br />Chairperson Bauer commented that he visited this property, and it looks like there are some outside <br />storage items, campers. <br />Planning Commission/ October 27, 2022 <br />Page 6 of 10 <br />
