CU 04-29 Elite Sanitation October 26,2004 Page 2 Overview The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for outdoor storage of portable sanitation units. The applicant would like to utilize the existing building for warehouse and office space for their business, Elite Sanitation. Elite Sanitation provides portable sanitation facilities. From time to time some of the units may have to be stored outside. The units are pumped/emptied off site and the waste disposed of at a licensed facility. The units are then brought back to the 4th street site,where they are inspected, cleaned and stored for future use. No vehicles will be stored outside The property is zoned I2 Medium Industrial and outdoor storage is allowed as a conditional use. If no outdoor storage were involved, there would be no conditional use permit required for the proposed business to locate at this site. The surrounding property to the west and north is Elk River Machine and is used for outdoor storage, to the west is Adams paints and across the street is the old lumber yard. Site Plan The property is located on the north side of 4th Street,between Elk River Machine and Adams Paints. There is a 28'X 80' (2,240 sf.) building on site. The building will be used for parking trucks, cleaning and inspecting the units and office space. None of the area outside of the building is improved. The west property line and 1/2 of the rear property line is fenced with a chain link fence. The site plan indicates that the outdoor storage area will be located to the rear and along the east side of the building. Site Improvements Since no part of the site is surfaced with an approved material, the area outside of the storage area should be paved. The area to be utilized for outdoor storage should be surfaced with Class V material. The fence should be extended so that it encloses the entire area that will be used for outdoor storage. Because the adjacent land uses are outdoor storage, the size of the lot and the constraints associated with working with a fully developed site, additional screening is not necessary. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of this request for a conditional use permit for outdoor storage with the following conditions: 1. The area outside of the outdoor storage area shall be paved. 2. The outdoor storage area shall be surfaced with Class V or similar material. 3. The outdoor storage area shall be enclosed with a fence. 4. No pumping, storage or disposal of waste material associated with the cleaning of the units shall be conducted at this site.
