ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—FEBRUARY 23, 2015 20 Mayor Pro-Tem McClung questioned if the item would need a 60-day extension if tabled this evening by the City Council. City Planner Streff reported the Council would need to take action on this item by March 6`'' or an extension would be required. Councilmember Woodburn requested Condition #22 be amended removing the words "exterior storage and". AMENDMENT: Councilmember Woodburn moved a motion amending Condition #22 removing the words "exterior storage and". The amendment failed for lack of a second. Councilmember Woodburn questioned why the City would allow outdoor storage in this area of the City. Councilmember Holden suggested that Condition#22 read: No storage, displays or sales shall be permitted outside of the seasonal sales area. AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved and Mayor Pro-Tem McClung seconded a motion amending Condition #22 to read as follows: No storage, displays or sales shall be permitted outside of the seasonal sales area. Mr. Frattallone indicated that he was not asking to change the way he was doing business and requested that Condition#22 remain as is. He did not see why the Council would change the way he has been operating this site for the past 40 years. He explained that if the Council altered this condition he may be forced to look for office/retail space outside the City of Arden Hills. Councilmember Holden supported Condition #22 as amended as she did not want to see the garden center area become used for outdoor storage. The amendment carried (3-0). Councilmember Holden stated that there have been multiple issues with the fire code and building inspector regarding the placement of outdoor storage on the south and west side of the building. She requested comment from the applicant regarding this matter. She was in favor of adding Condition #23 which would prohibit outdoor storage on the South and West side of the building. City Planner Streff explained that Frattallone's had no violations at this time, and that the Fire Marshal requested that no hazardous materials be stored outside of the garden center area. Councilmember Holden asked if a covered storage area could be located along the west side of the building.
