Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 16, 2010 Page 4 As previously noted, this item was removed as it was in the process of resolution. b. Consider Resolution Receiving Assessment Roll and Setting Assessment Hearing Date for the Roselawn Avenue Reconstruction Project to be As- sessed in 2010 As previously noted, this item was removed for rescheduling at a later date. c. Consider Resolution Approving Request of Minnesota Irrigation Distribu- tion Center for Outdoor Storage of Irrigation Equipment and Supplies at 1450 County Road C as an INTERIM USE (PF10-014) Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon reviewed the request of Minnesota Irrigation Distribution Center (MIDC) seeking approval of outdoor storage of irrigation system supplies at 1450 County Road C, as an INTERIM USE, pursuant to City Code, Section 1013.09, in order to account for the existing nonconforming use, as detailed in the Request for Council Action (RCA) dated August 16, 2010, as well as the conditions for approval. Mr. Trudgeon provided, as a bench handout, attached hereto and made a part thereof, a revised draft resolution incorporating minor revisions as follows: reduc- tion in the number of trees at 1447 Rose Place (from 5 to 2) based on the home- owner's request, thereby changing the screening plan and graphic to accommo- date this change; the screening plan now prohibits the use of herbicides by Mr. Albrecht to maintain his twenty-foot buffer zone; and the screening plan now re- quiring Mr. Albrecht to contact Gopher State One prior to installation for utility locations. Mr. Trudgeon reviewed past code violations and impacts on the site itself, proper- ty use, and proposed INTERIM USE. Staff recommended approval of the re- quest, as conditioned, following numerous meetings with the neighbors and appli- cant to create amutually-agreeable screening plan. Public Comment Molly Redman/Steve Ring, 1450 Rose Place (whose total residential property boundaries against the industrial property) Ms. Redman opined that there were several corrections needed on the proposed revised resolution: Item F: Correcting that a fifteen foot (15') rather than a twenty foot (20') buffer zone, which corresponded with the City's originally-mandated Evergreen screen- ing of that width. Ms. Redman further opined that the revised screening plan, as presented tonight by Mr. Trudgeon, did not have a timeline or mention when the trees would be planted or when the fence extension would be installed, and sug- gested that there should be specific legal language rather than intent assumed. Item G: Ms. Redman questioned when approval of outdoor storage would expire, and that while it may be implied in other places, there was not mention that any violation(s) would rescind the Interim Use permit.
