Update on Pete's Mini-Storace e Zoning Assistant Kendra Lindahl informed the Council that in 1989 and 1990, Larry Rohlf received two conditional use permits for mini-storage located on Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, Ridgewood East Second Addition. She informed the Council that staff has been notified that some of the conditions of the conditional use permit have not been met. The conditions that have not been met include the following: · 5 mph speed limit signs have not been posted on either lot · The exit only and enter only signs were not installed on either lot · The planting of nine trees on Lot 2 and ten trees on Lot 3 according to the drainage plans have not yet been completed. Larry Rohlf addressed the Council and stated that he believes the conditions that were attached to his conditional use permit were too restrictive. He requested that the Council eliminate the conditions regarding the 5 mph speed limit signs and the exit only and enter only signs as he indicated these issues are not required for other mini-storages. Mr. Rohlf further indicated that he had planted the required trees, however some of them have died. He further indicated that other trees have been started from seed on the property. Following Council discussion it was the consensus of the Council that the 5 mph speed limit signs and the exit and enter only signs were not necessary and that these conditions could be eliminated from the conditional use permit. The Council also concurred that no decision would be made regarding the trees until staff provided the Council with a video of the area. e Peter Beck suggested that the con~itional use permit be amended by applying for an amendment. No action was taken at this time regarding this issue.
