He noted Councilmember Christianson <br />requested a discussion about the Central Mississippi River Partnership. <br />9. Council Liaison Updates <br />Council provided updates of various advisory board activities as noted in the <br />respective boards' minutes. <br />Council recessed at 7:01 pm and reconvened in worksession at 7:04 pm. <br />10.1 Land Use Interpretation: Industrial Development <br />Mr. Carlton presented the staff report and questioned Council's interpretation of <br />ordinance for the applicant's request. <br />Organic Material Grinding <br />Councilmember Ovall stated this use has no building, no tax base or job creation and <br />wouldn't be the highest and best use of the site. <br />Councilmember Westgaaxd concurred but questioned where the use could be <br />located. <br />Councilmember Wagner didn't feel leaves and branches fit the definition of a recycling <br />processing center. <br />Councilmember Ovall concurred noting it would be different if they had a bulk <br />processing center with building and equipment and people working at the site. He <br />felt this was more a dump site for processing and removal. <br />Council consensus was this use wouldn't fit into current definitions of the city <br />ordinance. <br />Trailer Parking <br />Councilmember Ovall stated because a business and a building are not located on <br />site this is a different use and not like Copart. He struggles with solely allowing <br />outdoor storage on the site. <br />Mr. Carlton explained, per city code, outdoor storage is allowed as a conditional use <br />when it is accessory to a principle use. He stated for this project the dedicated <br />( principle use would be for parking trailers. <br />POItENE1 8 <br />NA TUR d <br />
