Odor: The odor issue is being addressed by relocating the location where compost, <br />organic mulch and landscape waste are stored. Those are all now located on the far <br />south end of the site to avoid conflicts with the residences to the north of G.E. <br />Enterprises <br /> <br />Staff attended the neighborhood meeting and felt that these solutions addressed the <br />neighborhood concerns. No members of the public came to the May 25 Commission <br />hearing to speak either for or against the application. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission held a second hearing on May 25 and unanimously approved <br />the application with the three conditions, which the applicant has since addressed. <br /> <br />Johnstone explained that this application has not been processed as a Final PUD <br />Development Plan. Staff determined that no PUD was required because no permanent <br />development of the property was proposed, and request that the plan sheets be revised to <br />eliminate reference to Final PUD. <br /> <br />Davidson called for the applicant presentation. <br /> <br />David Gray, President of G.E. Enterprises, 1315 Cannon Street, explained that they have <br />been at their current location for fourteen years. He stated that he agrees with <br />recommendations from staff and the Planning Commission. He was then available to <br />answer any questions. <br /> <br />Davidson called for Council comments and questions. <br /> <br />Mayer asked Johnstone to define what constitutes permanent development. <br /> <br />Johnstone replied that this is basically stockpiling of merchandise, which does not require <br />any physical improvements to the property such as curb and gutter or asphalt. He <br />explained that the trailer is a mobile trailer; however, it will need to meet building code <br />requirements. He admitted that the trailer is permanent in one sense in that it will be fixed <br />to the ground but it is designed to be mobile. <br /> <br />Mayer expressed concern that this could potentially be a 'loop hole' whereby a business <br />could place wheels under something and would not be subject to PUD development <br />plans. <br /> <br />Sisk asked Tom Phare, Public Works Director, how to minimize the dust in this area. <br /> <br />Phare replied that the City could increase the frequency of applying magnesium chloride <br />or, as opportunity provides, use some of the ground asphalt produced by the street <br />replacement program to cover the road. <br /> <br />Sisk stated that it is important that the truck traffic is directed to use Hwy 42 to reach the <br />business and not Main Street. <br /> <br />23 <br /> <br /> <br />
