PLANNING REPORT <br />DATE: <br />CASE NUMBER: <br />APPLICANT: <br />LOCATION: <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />1 October 1986 <br />1697 <br />Carmen T. Dorso <br />South of County Road C2, <br />Easterly of Cleveland (see <br />sketch) <br />Approval of Special Use <br />Permit for Exterior Storage <br />of Car and Truck Bumpers <br />PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: <br />1. Attached is a letter from Carmen T. Dorso, outlining his proposal to <br />continue the use of a portion of his property for the exterior storage <br />of automobile and truck bumpers. We are not certain when the bumper <br />storage operation began, though it has been going on for a good number <br />of years. The storage of bumpers in this manner is not allowed in the <br />industrial zoning district. <br />2. Several months ago, we met with a representative of the Keystone <br />Automotive Co. (who owns the bumpers) suggesting that the bumpers be <br />removed and that they be stored in a warehouse where such storage is <br />allowable. <br />3. The City is now at the development stage where we have prospects <br />lookin for the redevelopment of the parcels east of Cleveland Avenue <br />and W%st of Langton Lake. Interest in this area has been accelerated <br />because of the planning for and the approval of the redevelopment of <br />the properties west of Cleveland Avenue, including the property directly <br />across the street occupied by the Garrett Truc'< Line, Inc. <br />4. As you know, the City is in the process of acquiring additional park <br />land on the west side of Langton Lake and plans are being prepared for <br />further development of this park system. The existance of the bumper <br />storage in the past has been a deterrent to the aesthetic quality of the <br />area. The continuation of such a low intensity, relatively unsightly use <br />could be considered a negative impact on the development potential in <br />this vital area of the City. <br />S. The use proposed is similar to other used car parts that are legally <br />stored outside. Whether such "junk yard" -type storage is appropriate in <br />Roseville today is a matter of serious concern. It would be helpful if <br />members of the Planning Commission and Council would view the area <br />to ascertain the appropriateness (or lack thereof) for the proposed <br />continuance of this use. <br />
