Since the Planning Commission review of Planning Case 15-002 on February 4, 2015, staff has worked with the City Attorney on three (3) additional recommended conditions of approval pertaining to the CUP Amendment request: 14. The site shall be maintained and the business operated per the requirements depicted in the Garden Center Exhibit included in Attachment D. 15. Applicant/Owner shall install, at the City’s discretion, up to $20,000 of additional landscaping or other type of screening to screen storage along the south and west side of the property following an operational review by the City after the second full year of operations. City staff will base their recommendation on the need for additional screening after an evaluation of complaint and code violation history, if any.

Landscaping or screening may be installed on the property or on adjacent properties. Prior to the issuance of any development permits, the Applicant/Owner shall provide the City with a Letter of Credit in the amount of $20,000 issued by a FDIC-insured Minnesota bank. If the Applicant/Owner refuses to comply with the direction provided by the City, the City may without further notice enter the property and place the additional landscaping or screening and draw upon the Letter of Credit. 16.
