Attachment F e. The outdoor storage area of active fleet vehicles could add vehicle trips to the 34 local road network each day, but not so many trips as to be out of line with other 35 permitted uses, and not so many as to impose an excessive burden on the public 36 street infrastructure. Aside from the potential for some additional traffic, visual 37 clutter seems to be the only other source of potential harm to public health, safety, 38 and general welfare, and the zoning code’s specific requirements for outdoor 39 storage areas should address this concern; 40 f. The proposed outdoor storage area is at the rear of the building; this location 41 should not be visible from the public street except through the entrance gate; 42 g. Installing slats in the existing 6-foot-tall fence as proposed would fall short of the 43 letter of the screening requirement, but the existing trailer leasing facility predates 44 the zoning requirements for screening and adding slats to the existing fence to 45 improve the screening is reasonable because it will bring the site into greater 46 conformity even though it would not completely meet the code requirements. 47 Likewise, the proposal to screen the rear of the property, which faces the Gross 48 Golf Course in Minneapolis, with arborvitae or other opaque evergreen plantings 49 is unconventional in an industrial area, but such screening would be an effective 50 alternative and appreciated by users of the golf course; 51 h. Aggregates or granular materials are not proposed to be stored outdoors, nor 52 would this be allowed without appropriate review and approval; and 53 i. Fleet vehicles would have a much smaller range of visibility than large piles of 54 materials or tall pieces of machinery. 55 NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Roseville City Council, to APPROVE 56 the proposed outdoor storage of fleet vehicles at 2507 Walnut Street as a in CONDITIONAL USE 57 accordance with Section §1009.02 of the Roseville City Code, subject to the following 58 conditions: 59 a. Inoperable vehicles shall not remain outdoors; 60 b. Any screen plantings along the western property boundary shall remain outside of 61 any easements; and 62 c. The applicant shall continue to work with Planning Division staff to select slats 63 and plant materials that will be reasonably attractive and effective at screening the 64 outdoor storage and shall maintain and replace the screening materials as 65 necessary to ensure effective screening. 66 The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Council 67 Member ______ and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor: _________; 68 and ______ voted against. 69 WHEREUPON said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. 70 Page 2 of 3
