began to store trailers that contained other types of cargo, there could be additional environmental rislcs. b. The proposed INTERIivt us� for temporary outdoor storage of semi-truck trailers does not constitute an excessive burden on streets, parks, or other facilities because the proposed use is very similar to the former and historic use of the premises as a motor freight terminal. Although in its former life the site was occupied with fewer trailers and included daily movements to and from the cross-dock facility, the proposed use will be predominately trailer storage where trailers are anticipated to sit unmoved for long periods of time; and c. The proposed �N`rExiM usE for temporary outdoor storage of semi-truck trailers, in the short term, would not be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood, especially since the proposed use would generate limited noise, does not deal with chemicals, and would have limited vehicle movements on Fairview Avenue. Short-term storage of trailers (3 years or less) would not harm the public health, safety, or general welfare of the area, but the proposal does have two issues that could potentially harm public health: 1) if the trailers were to contain items that had the potential to leak hazardous materials that could become an environmental concern; 2) the Fire Marshal has indicated that the current trailer storage configuration is a fire hazard and that it would be very difficult for the fire department to extinguish a fire if one occurred in the interior. The Fire Marshal has indicated that in order to reduce the fire danger, the IU should include the requirement of a trailer parking plan that provides for the stacicing of no more than 2 trailers bacic-to-bacic, requires a minimum separation between trailers of 5 feet, and has fire access lanes. It is also important that the trailers remain locked and secured so that they do not become a inagnet for crime. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Roseville City Council, to APPROVE the proposed �N`rExiivt usE for temporary outdoor storage of semi-truck trailers in accordance with Section § 1009.03 of the Roseville City Code, subject to the following conditions: 1. A trailer storage and staging plan shall be submitted to the City that addresses the following conditions: a. No parlcing of trailers in the first 70 feet of the lot, b. No parking of trailers behind the building. a The south and middle access from/to Fairview Avenue and the interior lot drive lanes shall be free of obstructions and be a minimum of 30 feet wide. d. Trailers parlced/stored in the south lot area shall be parked either next to the building or south of the building or must be set back a minimum of 10 feet from the property line with a minimum of 30 feet between trailer and building for a clear drive lane to the rear and around the building. e. Trailers parked in the north parlcing lot can be parlced bacic-to-back. £ All trailers must have a minimum 5-foot separation between each trailer. g. All trailers shall be on an approved all-weather surface and set back a minimum of 10 feet from the north, east, and south property line. Page 2 of 4
