Planning Commission Minutes September 14, 2006 Page 10 Commissioner Westgaard questioned how the outdoor storage of the portable toilets was tied to the property in a previous request. Commissioner Offerman noted that the business owner was also the property owner. Commissioner Offerman stated that if Kober and 3 Way Properties were on in the same, they should both be tied to the permit. Mr. Haugen stated that Kober is only renting part of the site, and the part he is not using could be rented to others. Commissioner Stevens stated that there are few communities that allow outdoor storage. He felt that it should be made clear that the outdoor storage area is for the excavating business, and other rental storage should not be allowed. Commissioner Offerman stated he did not have a problem with the owners storing personal property on the site, but that renting out space to store others people's boats would not be allowed. Commissioner Stevens suggested that the conditions be amended to remove Conditions #4 and #10, and that #9 be amended to read "up to $50,000". Commissioner Anderson stated that it should be clear the application is for the excavating equipment company, and it is not an application for the rental of outdoor storage space for other types of property. He asked if the use changes, would the applicant need to reapply? Mr. Barnhart stated that 3 Way Properties is requesting outdoor storage for their tenant, Kober. If Kober moves out, and another type of business moves in, outdoor storage would not be allowed without a new application. Commissioner Stevens noted that if Kober moves out, the conditional use permit would expire in six months. Mr. Barnhart referenced Condition #8 which states, "Only equipment and material necessary for the operation of the business may be permitted to be stored in the outdoor storage area. No boats, food trailers, modular homes, or inoperable vehicles."
