Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 24, 2010 Page 7 By consensus, Councilmembers sought further information on the pending court enforcement action; follow-up on City Code for open storage in Industrial 1 Dis- tricts; and rationale for not enforcing existing code and impacts to this business. Public Comment Steven Ring & Molly Redmond, 1455 Rose Place (property owners directly south, their property entirely bordered by property in question) Mr. Ring reviewed and provided photos of the topography and elevation of their home; the previous vegetative border and its current condition. Mr. Ring opined that more plantings were needed to shield the commercial property from residen- tial properties on the south. Ms. Redmond advised that the old trees, originally planted by Mr. Albrecht, had formed a nice shield for many years, but now needed replacement to maintain that Evergreen buffer zone of 15'. Ms. Redmond noted the historical and anecdotal in- formation available from residential property owners regarding the history of the screening before and after purchase of the property by Mr. Albrecht. Ms. Red- mond further opined that Mr. Scott Wickland was a good neighbor, and it was not the intent of the neighbors to no longer have him operate his business; however, as residential stakeholders in the community, they needed to be given ample con- sideration as well. Ms. Redmond repeated her invitation for Councilmembers and/or staff to view the property from inside their home for a more clear perspec- tive on the topography issues. 1`/lr. Ring, speaking on behalf of the property owner at 1447 Rose Place, who was unable to attend tonight, provided additional photos from that specific property. Mr. Ring advised that this property was currently for sale, and comments from potential buyers and realtors were their concern with the view from the backyard. Mr. Ring concluded by saying that the neighbors have continued to support Mr. Wickland and his business ventures; however, part of the previous agreement was to provide sufficient screening and buffers between the properties. Mr. Ring re- quested that any mitigation plans be reviewed from the residential perspective, as well as the commercial perspective; and that residents be included in those discus- sions to ensure a good solution was found for all parties. Klausing moved, Johnson seconded, TABLING this matter until staff returns with additional information on litigation; and requesting staff to administratively ex- tend the 60-day review period to consider outdoor storage of irrigation equipment and materials at 1450 County Road C as an INTERIM USE in Accordance with Roseville City Code, Section1013.09 (PF10-014). Roll Call Ayes: Past; Roe; Ihlan; Johnson; and Klausing. Nays: None.
