PLANNING FILE 09-015 Request by Twin City Truck Sales for approval of a proposed conditional use of a portion of the property at 2205 County C-2 Road to allow sales of light duty utility trailers at the property Vice Chair Boerigter opened the Public Hearing for Planning File 09-015. Associate Planner Bryan Lloyd reviewed staff’s analysis of the request by Twin City Truck Sales, in conjunction with property owner Cleanco Truck Wash, for CONDITIONAL USE approval to allow the sale of new, light-duty cargo trailers at 20205 County Road C-2. Staff recommended approval of the request for the request by Twin City Truck Sales, in conjunction with property owner Cleanco Truck Wash, for CONDITIONAL USE approval to allow the sale of new, light-duty cargo trailers at 20205 County Road C-2; based on the comments and findings outlined in Sections 5 and 6 of the project report dated June 3, 2009; and pursuant to Roseville City Code, Sections 1005.015 and 1014.01. Discussion included definition of light trailers, per Minnesota Statute 169.011, subd. 86; staffs’ use of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) manual to determine vehicle trip generation from the site and trailer display/sales limited to 3,000 square feet of the total lot area, with any additional footage requiring a more formal traffic analysis by the applicant or property owner allowing for more detailed study by staff; whether “light trailer” would be defined in approving the request; and how to create such a definition. Further discussion included setback area proposed; pervious/impervious materials in the setback area with existing non-conforming use; unmaintained grassy areas adjacent to or within the setback; auto sales as a Conditional Use (Section 7.2 of the staff report); paving of the display area while the non-paved area outside the display area remains noncompliant with City Code, but as a legal, non-conforming use; and determining where the lot ends and areas of encroachment.
