Regular City Council Meeting Monday, June 18, 2007 Page 39 Staff recommended DENIAL of the request of Mr. DeLeo to use his RV, or his garage, as temporary living quarters during the construc- tion of his new home, based on the comments and findings of Section 5 of the project report dated June 18, 2007; noting that the Planning Commission, at their June 6, 2007 meeting, voted unanimously (6/0) to recommend approval. Discussion included staff-defined difficulties with the previous ap- proval for Mr. Anderson; construction delays and burdens on the neighbors, additional staff time to monitor the temporary living situa- tion, and possible safety concerns if construction delays require living in the temporary facility into the fall and winter months. Staff noted that the temporary facility didn't meet safety and/or code standards, but admitted that enforcement was problematic. Applicant, Robert DeLeo, 280 Minnesota Avenue Mr. DeLeo responded affirmatively to Mayor Klausing's questions if the Fire Marshal's references were addressed and that fire safety equipment was immediately available in the recreational vehicle. Public Comment Darlene Quade, next door neighbor Ms. Quade spoke in support of the request; and offered her home to the DeLeo's in case of storm. Ms. Quade noted that this was only a temporary situation, and was prudent to avoid vandalism or theft is- sues on the construction site as well. Ihlan moved, Kough seconded, approval of Robert DeLeo's request for an INTERIM USE PERMIT (IUP) to use his recreational vehicle (RV) as temporary living quarters during the construction of his new home, based on the comments and findings of Section 6.0 of the staff report dated June 18, 2007; and amended to include the following conditions: ^ The permit will extend only to the end of October 2007, at which time the applicant will vacate the temporary living quar- ters in the RV; ^ The garage is excluded from use as temporary or permanent liv- ing quarters;
