Scott stated the applicant is willing to provide an architecturally treated exterior siding for the building but has not provided any information or samples to staff.

Don Savinski, owner of OJ's, indicated they will use the building to store furnaces and air conditions. He stated that he does not yet own the property adjacent to the site so therefore, he is not able to combine the lots at this time. Mr. Savinski described the condition of the existing site. Chair Thompson questioned Mr. Savinski's intentions for the exterior of the building. Mr. Savinski indicated that the building will be metal with painted sides and a painted roof. He stated he was willing to provide samples for staff. Commissioner Minton questioned if it would be possible to work out an agreement with the property owner to the west to use his driveway to access the proposed storage building. Mr. Savinski stated the driveway is a dirt driveway. Commissioner Anderson questioned what type of trucks would be using the driveway. The applicant indicated that it will be mostly pickups and some 1 ton trucks, similar to the size of a bread truck. Chair Thompson opened the public hearing. There being no comments from the public, Chair Thompson closed the public hearing. Commissioner Anderson suggested that this request be postponed until more information is available. Steve Ach suggested the Planning Commission provide staff with some direction for dealing with the variance issues. Commissioner Sullivan questioned how the city can ensure that allowing temporary conditions such as asphalt curbing, do not become permanent. Steve Ach noted that it can be difficult to enforce "temporary". Steve indicated this area is being considered for rezoning, and if the rezoning did occur, curbing would only be required for the front of the building. The metal building would have to comply with industrial standards and not commercial standards. Discussion followed regarding access issues and whether or not to allow temporary improvements. Commissioner Kuester felt that more information is needed to address this request including information on the building exterior and a grading plan.
