Overview
The applicant is proposing to utilize the back northeast corner of his site for storing vehicles.
R & G Towing would like to lease this area to store vehicles that they have towed. The
outdoor storage area will be about 110' by 50' (5,500 sr.).
Most of the area is not surfaced with a suitable material. The entire area that will be used for
outdoor storage should be surfaced with Class V material. The edge of the area should be
defined by landscape timbers so that it does not incrementally expand. The site plan also
shows the storage area extending into the drainage and utility easement along the north
property line. The storage area can not extend into the easement.
Landscapin_q
There is an existing line of trees along the west property line that screens the storage area
from the west and a chain link fence with slate that screens the area from highway 10. The
fence should be extended along the north property line.

Planning Commission Meeting
At the Planning Commission meeting held on September 23rd, a representative from the
RDF plant explained that the chain link fence on the north property line was on RDF
property and they are planning on moving it closer to their facility. They did not have any
problems with the proposed outdoor storage. The Commission discussed alternative
locations for the storage area but Mr. Hetland explained that those alternatives would impact
the operation of the recycling business. The Commission voted 6:1 to recommend approval
of the conditional use permit.
Recommendation
The Planning Commission and staff recommend that the City Council approve this request
with the following conditions:
1. A chain link fence shal] be maintained on the north property line.
2. The storage area shall not extend into the drainage and utility easement.
3. The surface of the storage area shall be class v or some other suitable material
approved by the city.
4. The boundary of the storage area shall be delineated by landscape timbers or some
other material approved by the city.
