It does <br />not appear that these trees have been planted, or are no longer living. These trees will need <br />to be planted. I am attaching the approved landscape plan from 2007. Regardless of the <br />action of the Council regarding your amendment, these trees will need to be installed. <br />Fire Chief <br />4) Please note that at least a 20-foot wide clear aisle must be preserved around the outdoor <br />storage. <br />Miscellaneous <br />5) Sign. The ordinance allows one free standing sign, currentl7 installed along Janis Street. <br />To install a second sign, a variance will be necessary. As an alternative, you may consider <br />placing a sign on the building. You are permitted one 120 sq. ft. sign. <br />61 The Cite Council will ]ikely impose some time limit associated with the outdoor storage. <br />The sense staff got from the Council during the review of a similar use ~~as that they felt it <br />was more of a temporary feature, rather than a long term feature. ~,'~hat is your expected <br />time line <br />Phone: 763.635.1000 <br />Fax: 763.635.1090 <br />wwKr ci.elk-river.mn.us <br />
