Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 10,2011 Page 14 Department Vendor Item/Description Amount Streets Crafco Inc.. Crack sealing material $11,301.50 Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; Pust; McGehee; and Roe. Nays: None. c. Adopt a Resolution Approving the Request by Meritex to Allow Outdoor Storage as an INTEIM USE at 2295 Walnut Street (former Consent Item d) At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Bill Malinen briefly reviewed this item, noting that the rubble was part of a demolished building, and that staff con- tinued to work with the property owner; and that this request was moving forward by unanimous recommendation of the Planning Commission, thus staff's inclu- sion of it on the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Willmus noted that the unanimous recommendation of the Plan- ning Commission was that the INTERIM USE run no longer than July of 2010; and questioned why that condition had now been changed to October of 2010. Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon advised that staff's original recommendation was for the INTERIM USE to expire October 31, 2011; howev- er, some members of the Planning Commission expressed their desire to hear di- rectly from the applicant the timeframe being required to remove the remaining rubble; and since the applicant was not present at the meeting, they chose to send a direct message to the applicant by shortening the time period. Mr. Trudgeon advised that the City Council had the discretion to reduce the permit period as well. Mr. Trudgeon advised that, from staff's perspective, their recommendation for approval to expire at the end of October 31, 2011 was simply to allow the ap- plicant the full construction season, rather than choosing July or August for expi- ration, and requiring the applicant to return for additional extensions, similar to what had occurred with Reservoir Woods' INTERIM USE application. Councilmember Willmus noted that the applicant's original request was for the end of August of 2011; and opined that he concurred with the July expiration as recommended by the Planning Commission, rather than the October date; as well as supporting an increased fine structure of$500 per day rather than that of$100 per day. Willmus moved, Pust seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 10871 (Attachment G) entitled, "A Resolution Approving Outdoor Storage of Demolition Rubble, at 2295 Walnut Street as an INTERIM USE in Accordance with Roseville City Code, Chapter 1013.09 (PR10-029);" amended to increase the fine from $100 to $500 per day, and that the approval shall expire at the end of July of 2011, ra- ther than October 31, 2011 (both under Condition C).
