PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration of Special Use Permit, SP #02-10, by Greg Kaasa, Kordiak Property Management, to allow outdoor storage, legally described as Lot 7, Block 2, Commerce Park Addition, generally located at 7500 University Avenue NE. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:37 P.M. Ms. Stromberg stated the petitioner, Greg Kaasa of Thorne Brothers Custom Rod & Tackle, is requesting a special use permit to allow outdoor storage of a storage container in the side yard of his building. He is requesting that a 9' x 29' storage container be allowed to be stored on the property on an annual basis from October 15 to January 15 to store fish houses. She presented a slide showing a picture of the existing building which is located on the West University Avenue service road. The property is zoned C-2, General Business. The petitioner is requesting to store the 9' x 29' storage container directly behind the building in the side yard of the property. He intends to screen the container with a 10-foot cedar fence. Ms. Stromberg stated the City Code requires the maximum height of a fence to be 8 feet in the C-2 zoning district. Therefore, a 10-foot fence would be in violation of the Code. A 9-foot storage container would be visible beyond the height of the Code-required 8-foot fence. Cedar fencing materials wouldn't be considered adequate screening in this zoning district, because, over time, cedar fences become a maintenance issue. A cedar fence also isn't architecturally compatible with the existing building. Allowing this type of screening would be inconsistent with what the City has done in the past for screening of outdoor storage. Ms. Stromberg stated that in 1994 Wal-Mart was granted a special use permit for outdoor storage. A condition of that special use permit was to screen the outdoor storage using materials that were architecturally compatible with the existing structure. Wal-Mart essentially constructed an extension of the building using rock-faced block with matching colored banding to enclose its outdoor storage. This addition took on the character of a structure, which had to meet all building code and setback requirements. Ms. Stromberg stated that storing the container as requested by the petitioner in the proposed location would be highly visible from University Avenue, which would potentially diminish the character of the University Avenue corridor. Allowing such outdoor storage to exist on this site could become infectious, causing neighboring properties along the corridor to request the same type of outdoor storage. Therefore, the granting of this special use permit could set a precedent. Ms. Stromberg stated the proposed location of the storage container could also potentially disrupt circulation patterns around the building. Circulation may be compromised when service vehicles are on site, because the service vehicles narrow the drive aisle behind the building, which could cause confusion for customers trying to get in and out of the site. Storage of this container would also eliminate additional parking flexibility in the future. Ms. Stromberg stated that in his letter, the petitioner stated there is inadequate space inside the building to store fish houses. Ms. Stromberg stated that alternatives to the outdoor storage do exist. The petitioner could consider ordering the amount of fish houses according to his inside storage space, or acquire off-site storage in an area approved for warehouse storage. This is � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 18, 2002 PAGE 3 the first year staff has noticed any type of outdoor storage on this site. Therefore, the petitioner has been able to accommodate his outdoor storage needs in the past. Ms. Stromberg stated staff received a letter from one neighboring property owner who is concerned about the image the outdoor storage may have along the University Avenue corridor. The Commission members have received a copy of this letter, tonight at the meeting. Ms. Stromberg stated City staff recommends denial of SP #02-10 due to the lack of architecturally compatibility of the screening materials with the existing structure, the diminishing image of a building along a major City corridor, the impact outdoor storage will have on neighboring properties, and the disruption of circulation patterns and parking possibilities. Ms. Savage read the letter received by George Halverson, 7520 University Avenue NE, stating his objection to the granting of the outdoor storage as requested in SP #02-10. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to receive the letter from George Halverson, 7520 University Avenue NE, into the record. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Oquist stated that he noticed on the agenda it refers to Kaasa Kordiak Properties, but yet it is Thorne Brothers Tackle. Why is this? Ms. Stromberg explained that Kordiak is the owner of the building and Greg Kaasa leases the building. Mr. Oquist also stated that staff referred to the storage in the side yard, but it is really the rear of the building. It was kind of confusing. Ms. Stromberg stated when they figure the front yard on the property, they take the shorter frontage, and the shorter frontage of that property is along the University Avenue service road. So, the container would be stored in what seems like the rear yard because iYs the rear of the building, but, technically, it is the side yard. Mr. Oquist stated that if screening is allowed, there should be a brick fence because that would be architecturally compatible with the building. Ms. Stromberg stated, yes, something that would be architecturally compatible. Mr. Kuechle asked if there is space on that property to expand the building, or are they locked out in the building square footage? Ms. Stromberg replied that if the petitioner considers an addition, it would need to meet lot coverage and parking requirements. She knows they are actually short on parking now so an addition probably wouldn't be possible. Mr. Kondrick stated that he has driven by this building many times, dropping mail in the mailboxes for the post office, and cars are parked where he would refer to as being the back of the building, so there really isn't much room back there. A couple of times there have been trucks the size of UPS trucks parked in those parking spots. It's really close to park up to the 3 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 18, 2002 PAGE 4 building, and these trucks are parked in those spaces behind the building. IYs pretty narrow back there. He didn't think even a fire truck could get back there, and that bothered him. Ms. Savage stated neither the petitioner nor a representative was at the meeting. Has staff heard anything from the petitioner? Ms. Stromberg replied, no. MOTION by Mr. Savage, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 7:48 P.M. Mr. Saba stated he is really concerned about a precedent being set for outdoor storage. They turned down the outdoor storage request for Van-O-Lite, and they should do the same for this request. They have to be really careful about setting any precedent for outdoor storage. Mr. Kuechle stated he agreed and didn't see any mitigating or special circumstances here that would warrant a deviation from their procedure to not allow outside storage. Mr. Kondrick agreed and stated he didn't think there was enough room for storage back there anyway. He would not be in favor of approving this request. Mr. Oquist stated he would agree also. They already denied the outdoor storage request for Van-O-Lite, and they don't want to set a precedent. Also, a 10-foot high fence is pretty tall. Ms. Savage stated she totally agreed with all of them. They denied the request by Van-O-Lite, and that storage was behind the building away from University Avenue; and, with this request, the storage would be quite visible from University Avenue and would be very crowded back there. MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to deny special use permit, SP #02-10 by Greg Kaasa, Kordiak Property Management. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Ms. Savage stated this request will go to City Council on January 6. 5. OTHER BUSINESS: Ms. Stromberg gave a year-end review presentation for 2002. They had one comprehensive plan amendment, two lot splits, three plats, one rezoning, ten special use permits, and only one zoning text amendment. Mr. Kuechle asked of the special use permits, how many of those were for oversized buildings on residential lots? Mr. Bolin replied 7 of the 10. Ms. Stromberg stated that in looking at it from a normal workload point of view, it looks like they are down quite a bit from 2001 and 2000. Last year they had seven zoning text amendments, � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 18, 2002 PAGE 5 and this year they only had one. So, they had 25 actions in 2000, 27 in 2001, and only 17 this year. Ms. Stromberg thanked the Planning Commission members for all their hard work in 2002 and wished them Happy Holidays. Ms. Stromberg stated the next Planning Commission meeting will be January 15, 2003. ADJOURNMENT: MOTION by Mr. Savage, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to adjourn the meeting. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE DECEMBER 18, 2002, PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING WAS ADJOURNED AT 7:52 P.M.

We are incurring little cost for the service we are provided by Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota N.A. At this time, it does not seem to be beneficial to solicit for banking services since our options are limited within the City. The service we receive is very good; Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota N.A. has been responsive to our requests for information. In using Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota N.A. we are able to invest idle cash on a daily basis with minimum cost to the City. We are able to deternune daily needs and invest the balance in a money market account with Wells Fargo and First Trust. If we were to change the provider for the banking services we would need to change the method in which we invest idle funds and the ease in which we make deposits.

INTRODUCTION M-03-01 Fridley's current Code requirements for outdoor storage in industrial zoning districts has, at best, been described as confusing, open to interpretation, and unfair to industry. Staff has investigated different ways to clarify Fridley's requirements, allowing limited outdoor storage while still protecting the City's interests. Staff has worked to develop an Ordinance revision that repeals and replaces the current requirements with more clearly written language that balances industry needs with broader community needs. Over the past 6 months the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed ordinance revision, the City Council held five public hearings, and Staff held two special meetings with the Onaway District property owners to better address business needs and concerns with the proposed ordinance. The resulting code language does balance industry needs with sound planning principles and broader community needs. On December 16, 2002, the Council held the first reading of the proposed amendment. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Council hold the second reading for the proposed zoning text amendment and approve the amendment as presented. 29 Ordinance No. Ai�i ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 205, SECTIONS 205.17, 205.18, 205.19, 205.20 A�1D 245.2� RELATED TO OUTDOOR STORAGE IN THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS The Fridley City Council hereby finds after review, examination and recommendation of staff that Chapter 20� related to outdoor storage in Industrial Districts be amended as follows: SECTION 1.

Lund, Mayor : AGENDA ITEM CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 2003 CffY OF FRIDLEY Date: December 19, 2002 To: William Burns, City Manager �� From: Scott Hickok, Community Development Director Paul Bolin, Planning Coordinator Stacy Stromberg, Planner Subject: Special Use Permit Request, SP #02-10, Greg Kaasa, Thorne Bros. Custom Rod and Tackle M-02-149 INTRODUCTION Greg Kaasa, of Thorne Bros. Custom Rod and Tackle, located at 7500 University Avenue, is seeking a special use permit to allow outdoor storage of a storage container in the side yard of his building. He is requesting that a 9 ft. by 29 ft. storage container be allowed to be stored on the property on an annual basis, from October 15 through January 15, to store fish houses. The petitioner intended to screen the structure with a 10-foot high cedar fence. City Code requires that the maximum height of a fence in the C-2, General Business zoning district not exceed 8 feet, therefore, a ten-foot fence would be a violation of the zoning code. Also, a 9-foot storage container would then be visible beyond the h�ight of the code required 8- foot fence. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At the December 18, 2002, Planning Commission meeting, a public hearing was held for SP #02-10. After a brief discussion, the Planning Commission recommended denial of the special use permit, SP #02-10, due to the screening materials lack of architecturally compatibility with the existing structure, the diminishing image of a building along a major City corridor, the impact outdoor storage will have on neighboring properties, the disruption of circulation patterns and the elimination of parking possibilities. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. The petitioner was not present at the Planning Commission meeting. PLANNING STAFF RECOMMNEDATION City Staff recommends concurrence with the Planning Commission. .� City of Fridley Land Use Application SP #02-10 December 18, 2002 GENERAL INFORVIATION SPECIAL li�1FORivLATION Applicant: Greg Kaasa Thome Bros.

CITY COU�ICIL ACTION/ 60 DAY DATE City Council — January 6, 2003 60 Day — January 13, 2003 Existing Building Staff Report Prepared by: Stacy Stromberg SP #02-10 REQUEST The petitioner, Greg Kaasa, of Thorne Bros. Custom Rod and Tackle, located at 7500. University Avenue, is seeking a special use permit to allow the outdoor storage of a storage container in the side yard of his building. He is requesting that a 9 ft. by 29 ft. storage container be ailowed to be stored on the property on an annual basis, from October 15 through January 15, to store fish houses. ANALYSIS The property is zoned C-2, General Business and is located on the West University Avenue Service Road. The existing building was constructed in 1968. Existing Building The petitioner is requesting to store a 9 ft. by 29 ft. storage container directly behind the building in the side yard of the property. He intends to screen the structure with a 10-foot high cedar fence. City Code requires that the maximum height of a fence in the C-2, General Business zoning district is 8 feet, therefore, a ten-foot fence would be a violation of the zoning code. Also, a 9-foot storage container would than be visible beyond the height of the code required 8-foot fence. Cedar fencing materials wouldn't be considered adequate screening in this zoning district. Over time cedar fencing becomes a maintenance issue and it also isn't architecturally compatible with the existing building. Allowing this type of screening on this property would be inconsistent with what the City has done in the past for screening of outdoor storage. Wal-Mart was granted a special use permit in 1994. A condition of that special use permit 42 was to screen their outdoor storage, using materials that are architecturally compatible with the existing structure. Wal-Mart essentially constructed an extension of their building using rock faced block with matching colored banding, to enclose their outdoor storage. This addition took on the character of a structure, which had to meet all building code and setback requirements. Storing the container in question in the proposed location would be highly visible from University Avenue, which will potentially diminish the character of the University Avenue corridor. Allowing such outdoor storage to exist on this site could become infectious, causing neighboring properties along the corridor to request the same type of outdoor storage. Therefore, granting this special use permit could be precedent setting. Storage Container in Rear Yard of Property The proposed location of the storage container could also potentially disrupt circulation patterns around the building. Circulation may be compromised when service vehicles are on site, because the service vehicles narrow the drive aisle behind the building, which may cause confusion for customers trying to get in and out of the site. Storage of this container would also eliminate additional parking flexibility in the future. The petitioner stated in his letter to the Commission, that there isn't adequate space inside the building to store the fish houses. If the petitioner doesn't have adequate storage space inside the building to store the fish houses, alternatives to outdoor storage do exist. He could consider ordering the amount of fish houses according to his inside storage space or acquire off site storage in an area approved for warehouse storage. This is the first year staff has noticed any type of outdoor storage on this site. Therefore, the petitioner has been able to accommodate his storage needs in the past. � City staff has heard from one neighboring property who was concerned about the image outdoor storage may have along the University Avenue corridor. RECOMMENDATIONS City Staff recommends denial of the outdoor storage container with specia/ use permit #02-90. Staff recommends denial of SP#02-10, due to the screening materials lack of architecturally compatibility with the existing structure, the diminishing image of a building along a major City corridor, the impact outdoor storage will have on neighboring properties, and the disruption of circulation patterns and parking possibilities. .. � � AGENDA ITEM cmroF CiTY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 6, 2003 FRIDLEY INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS 45
