General Business <br /> There was no general business to report. <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> The Planning Commission recessed into work session and reconvened at 7:40 p.m. <br /> 9.1 Smith Storage — 10688 171St Ave NE <br /> ■ Concept Review for mini-storage units, Case No. CR 21-02 <br /> Mr. Carlton presented the staff report. <br /> Commissioner Rydberg asked if boats and trailers will be allowed outdoors to <br /> outdoor portion. <br /> Tim Smith, 13327 Island View Drive,was the applicant and indicated outdoor <br /> storage was just an idea right now, as there is not much currently offered in mini- <br /> storage sites. He was considering outdoor storage on either the southern or eastern <br /> side using a higher fence to buffer but was looking for their feedback before making <br /> any final requests. He stated there would be specific parking spots and stripes to <br /> allow for orderly parking. <br /> Acting Chair Thiel requested if outdoor storage was proposed it needed to be orderly <br /> and tidy. <br /> Commissioner Johnson stated he was opposed to outdoor storage due to the site <br /> being in a high traffic area and near the railway. <br /> Commissioner Jordan asked if there would be orange doors on the units. He stated <br /> he was opposed to orange doors and requested the color scheme be attractive to fit <br /> into the neighborhood. He explained since this wasn't proposed initially that <br /> residents in the area weren't expecting to live next to mini-storage. <br /> Commissioner Johnson asked what the Comprehensive Plan calls for on this <br /> property. <br /> Mr. Carlton indicated the updated plan is still under review but slated for <br /> commercial. <br /> Commissioner Jordan suggested trees and berming to block the view of the residents <br /> of the townhouses along 171"Avenue and Lane. <br /> �PUNEREUREO R1 <br /> �JART' <br />
