Attachment B Mr. Paschke advised that this was the owner of the current trailers located on the site. At the request of Member Stellmach, Mr. Paschke confirmed that the IU and conditions for approval could be terminated if not complied with at any time during the three year term. At the request of Chair Boguszewski, Mr. Paschke reviewed the process for such a termination, including an initial written notice to the applicant of the violation of noncompliance with one or more conditions seeking their immediate remedy; and if not done, seeking formal termination of the IU itself in accordance with the legal due process followed by the City Attorney's office, and similar to other applications requiring approval of the Commission through a public hearing process and subsequent City Council action, followed by legal recourse. Mr. Paschke advised that during his tenure, he had never had such a situation occur due to noncompliance. Applicant Representatives Chad Commers, Vice President, Roseville Properties Management Co. (RPMC) For those unfamiliar with Roseville Properties, Mr. Commers provided a brief history of their firm, with their acquisition portfolio including properties in Roseville since 1978. Over that time, Mr. Commers noted the decades-long process of improving and reinvesting in the community through upgrades of those properties, advising that their company was here for the long-term. Mr. Commers advised that this particular property was acquired over a decade ago and had been used as a motor freight terminal until that tenant left to acquire a larger facility, at which time Roseville Properties continued to lease the property for a variety of uses. Mr. Commers admitted it had been his oversight that caused the current situation in losing the grandfathered or legal nonconforming use, thus the request currently before the Commission. Mr. Commers advised that this site was not achieving its maximum potential for their firm or for the City for the IongOterm, and therefore the IU request was simply to bring in some cash flow while their firm finished improvements and renovations to two of their other properties (Play It Again Sports and Petco), at which time they intended to begin marketing this parcel and the property immediately adjacent for potential renovation in the spring and summer of 2016. Depending on market conditions, Mr. Commers advised that the company's intent was to get something going within the next 2-3 years. Mr. Commers verified that his firm's intent was to raze the building if the IU is granted; and continue to use the property for trailer storage, and simply backfill that former building footprint once raised for additional trailer storage during the term of the IU. According to the attachments to the staff report, Member Cunningham noted that it appeared approximately 100 trailers were currently being stored on the property, and questiond how many were anticipated if and when the building was razed. Mr. Commers responded that, once the building was razed, it would depend on the amount of the site required for setbacks and drive lanes as conditioned by staff, and currently being revised and drawn up by the architect for Roseville Properties. With Member Cunningham noted that the lot appeared to be packed in tight on the site now, Mr. Commers admitted the lot was fairly full, but if the IU is approved, there will probably be room for fewer trailers, depending on the results once the actual schematics are finalized. Chair Boguszewski noted that razing the building should accommodate some of the room lost through setback and drive lane requirements.
