City Council Minutes August 15,1994 Page 8 e COUNCILMEMBER HOLMGREN SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. 7.3. Consider a conditional use oermit reauest by L & W Limited Liability, Public Hearinq, Case #CU 94-27 Planning Assistant Gary Schmitz explained that the City has received a request from L & W Limited Liability Company to operate an auto body repair and auto- truck frame repair from the existing Cody Square Building located at 11061 1 73rd Avenue NW. Gary Schmitz discussed the areas that have been reviewed by staff consisting of landscaping, drainage, parking, building code, and outdoor storage. e The issue of landscaping and the need for opaque fencing was discussed in detail by the Council. Gary Schmitz indicated that when the building was constructed the landscape standard was less restrictive than today. He stated that because of this staff is recommending sodding, the installation of an irrigation system, and opaque fencing for outdoor storage to bring the area up to the standards required today. The Council discussed the fact that the building is located in an obscure area and that it may not be necessary to irrigate, sod or fence. Gary Schmitz indicated that the East Highway 10 area will continue to progress and stated that staff felt it was necessary to keep current with the City's landscaping requirements. He further indicated that outdoor storage is not allowed in the C3 zoning district and, staff was suggesting fencing as a compromise. Following further discussion regarding landscaping, it was the consensus of the Council to allow the owners up to two years to landscape, seed instead of sod, and to install a sprinkler system. Gary Schmitz indicated that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the conditional use permit. Mayor Duitsman opened the public hearing.
