City Council Regular Meeting - 08/22/05 Minutes - Page 5 responded to Councilmember Schroeder's concerns by noting that both the Fire and Police Departments had reviewed the request and had discussions with operators; and that the materials would primarily consist of office supplies, and both departments were satisfied that the proposed storage materials were not a hazard. Mr. Welsch also noted that staff was of the opinion that the site would be safer without installation of a fence, thus the exclusion of that condition. Councilmember Schroeder questioned proposed refueling and other operations on the site. Mr. Welsch advised that there would be no fueling on-site, and only storage of materials in the trailers. Councilmember Kough opined that storage of more trailers would see an increase in wooden pallets and other debris on the site; and questioned the intent of the owners for cleaning around and under the trailers to provide sufficient maintenance. Mr. Welsch noted that this was a responsibility of the tenant and owner, and that the owner had specified that they would use best management practices to keep the lot clean; and such practices would be monitored by the City's Code Enforcement staff; and was a standard condition applied to an interim use permit. Schroeder moved, Maschka seconded, adopted Resolution No. 10326 entitled, "A Resolution Approving an Interim Use Permit for Meritex Enterprises at 2258 to 2280 Walnut Street (PF 3659);" to allow storage of a maximum of 300 motor freight trailers on a parcel located east of Walnut Street at the approximate address referenced above; for a two-year period; based on the comments and conditions of the staff report dated August 22,2005. Roll Call Ayes: Ihlan; Schroeder; Kough; Maschka and Klausing. Nays: None.
