ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – February 4, 2015 19 <br /> <br />Chair Thompson invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make <br />comment. <br /> <br />There being no comment Chair Thompson closed the public hearing at 9:09 p.m. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holewa asked if Wellington Management had any prospects for Lot 2. <br /> <br />Mr. Bergstrom stated he was in negotiations with a business at this time. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jones understood that the building was well screened and for this reason, he <br />supported the outdoor storage. <br /> <br />City Planner Streff reported that within the City Code, outdoor storage was only allowed as a <br />conditional use in the I-2 district. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher stated if the Commission was in favor of <br />allowing outdoor storage, staff could draft appropriate language. <br /> <br />Chair Thompson was in favor of allowing outdoor storage on the south side of the building, so <br />long as it did not extend into the parking lot. <br /> <br />Commissioner Bartel believed that Frattallone’s was not interested in having outdoor storage <br />along the front of their building, but rather the south side of the building. He discussed how the <br />applicant was expanding their outdoor sales area on the site. <br /> <br />Mr. Frattallone explained that he was not requesting any additional storage space than what has <br />been used by his business for the past 17 years. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zimmerman asked if bulk product would still be stored on the south side of the <br />building. <br /> <br />Mr. Frattallone stated bulk items would still be stored in this location. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holewa was in favor of striking Condition #22. <br /> <br />Chair Thompson agreed, but suggested that the Council make the final determination on this <br />matter. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holewa moved and Commissioner Jones seconded a motion to recommend <br />approval of Planning Case 15-002 for a Preliminary and Final Plat, Planned Unit <br />Development Amendment, and Conditional Use Permit Amendment at 3527-3557 <br />Lexington Avenue North based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended <br />by the twenty-one (21) conditions (striking condition #22) in the February 4, 2015, report to <br />the Planning Commission, <br /> <br />Commissioner Bartel asked how the property was altered by the Walgreens development. <br />
