City Council Minutes May 21, 1990 Page 9 e Councilmember Schuldt stated that he had discussions with the Swanson's and with Mr. Coyne of 19208 Lowell Street NW who were in opposition to this request. He stated that he has seen a number of homes and duplexes for sale or rent in this area, and that .t~ey seem to be moving quite slowly. Councilmember Schuldt stated that he was strongly opposed to this request, as he felt that it would have an adverse effect on the neighborhood. Mayor Tralle reemphasized that the market for twin homes was low all over and that the City cannot protect homes from what is happening in the market. Councilmember Dobel stated that he thought the exterior of the existing mini storage is very nice and that the appearance alone would not affect neighboring property in a negative way. Mr. Rossman stated that a privacy fence in the rear of the property would help aesthetically. Councilmember Holmgren stated that he misunderstood the previous request for a mini storage on Lot 3, as he felt that there would be 32 t,lni ts in the mini storage and that one additional building, not three, would be requested at a later time.
