Page 5 Kober/ 3-way excavating Planninz Commission discussion Staff had worked closely with the property owner to resolve many of the issues identified through the review prior to the Planning Commission meeting. The Planning commission did discuss the following issues: The Planning Commission discussed the approval language for the Conditional Use Permit. There was some concern that any future business would be permitted outdoor storage, including some items that would be inappropriate. The way the CUP is drafted, the property receives the CUP, and any other businesses meeting those conditions are permitted outside storage in perpetuity. Driveway approaches (#4). One of staff's recommendations was to have the approaches paved into the site. At the meeting, the applicant stated he felt that this should be accomplished by the street improvement contract. Staff has since learned that the street project will pave approaches that are currently paved. This will require Kober to pave their approaches, as staff believes those approaches are not paved. Letter of Credit (#8). The applicant asked for clarification of the letter of Credit amount. The letter of credit is used to guarantee the completion of improvements, and is capped at $50,000. The recommendation forwarded to the Council inserts the word "up to" 50,000, which is consistent with City policy. Recommendation Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Conditional Use permit and improvements for 3 Way properties (16112 Jarvis Street) to allow outside storage for an excavating company as outlined in plans dated September 7, 2006 with the following conditions: 1. All comments of the City Engineer dated September 5, 2006, shall be addressed. 2. The fence and outdoor storage area preserve the required 30 front yard setback from 161st Avenue ROW. 3. The fence and outdoor storage are to preserve the required 25-foot buffer (no touch, no mow) area adjacent to the wetland. 4. At minimum, the front approaches within the right-of-way shall be paved with either concrete or asphalt. 5. A landscaping plan be developed that includes 5 over-story trees in the front yard, 15 evergreen trees, and ivy added along side the fenced area. Landscaping plan shall be approved by staff. 6. The property shall include a well for on site water usage. 7. Only equipment and material necessary for the operation of the business may be permitted to be stored in the outdoor storage yard. No boats, food trailers, modular homes, or inoperable vehicles. 8. A letter of credit in an amount up to $50,000 shall be provided as a guarantee for the completion of the site improvements. Estimates of improvements to include landscaping, ivy, wetland protection and shall be approved by the City Engineer.
