DATE: January 19, 1993
TO: Zoning and Planning Commission
FROM: Nancy Anderson
SUBJECT: Review of Cliff Lamberts Conditional Use Permit
On May 7, 1991 Cliff Lambert was granted a conditional use
permit to operate a contractors yard at 1402 5th Street
South. Mr. Lambert was given to November 1991 to complete
the landscaping and fencing improvements to the site. The
site improvements have been completed.
After Mr. Lambert's initial approval he returned a few
months later to get approval to construct a building. Mr.
Lambert was given approval for a building.
The reason the Planning Commission is reviewing the
conditional use permit is because one condition of the
conditional use permit was to have the permit reviewed by
the Commission.
Mr. Lambert has complied with all the conditions except #4
and #14. 14th Avenue will not be vacated until all the
other conditions have been met. The biggest problem on the
site is the illegal building Mr. Lambert is using for an
office. This building has been used by Mr. Lambert since he
moved to the site. The conditional use permit only allows
the illegal building to be used as a construction building
if a building permit is obtained for the permanent building.
As of this date no building permit has been obtained for a
permanent building.
Because the site is in the flood plain, it makes
constructing a building more difficult. Mr. Lambert has
taken steps for the construction of the building. He has
put soil on the site where the building will be located to
stabilize the existing soil. However, the Watershed
District has not given approval to this soil being placed on
the site.
Staff is recommending that Mr. Lambert discontinue the use
of the illegal office building and that he get approval from
the Watershed District for the soil he has placed on the
site.
