in February 1988 a conditional use permit was granted for

Street South. Attached is the Resolution that was granted

existing mini- storage facility at 1144 7th Street South.

site. As part of the site plan the applicant is also
proposing to have outside storage for boats and RVs to be

Primary Issues to consider.
o What are the specifics of the proposed addition?
The applicant is proposing to add another row of storage
buildings to the southerly row of buildings. The doors will
face to the south. RV and boat storage are proposed on the
south side of the site. The addition will have the same
elevation and exterior as the existing buildings.
Landscaping
The applicant will be required to plant 6 trees. The
applicant has been notified of the additional plantings
required.
Drainage
The City Engineer has reviewed the drainage plan and found
it acceptable.
Exterior
The addition will have the same block exterior as the
buildings on the site. Staff is recommending that the fence
on the east one -half of the site is a fence that is used for
screening the mini storage site. The east side of the
abutting site is where the Westbrooke maintenance building
will be constructed, but until it is constructed, the
residents will have a direct view into the mini storage.
The west side of the site will have a berm for screening.
The applicant was notified of the staffs recommendation
regarding the screening of the east side of the site.
Access
Access to the site will remain the same. The additional
traffic generated from the addition should be minimal and
not create a problem. The existing mini storage site is a
low traffic generator.
Watershed District
The applicant will have to contact the Watershed District to
determine if they have any requirements for the construction
of the addition to the mini storage.
Surrounding zoning and uses
The following is the surrounding zoning and uses:
West City landfill, zoned I -1
East small shopping area, zoned B -3
North Industrial uses, zoned I -1
1110 South Westbrooke Patio Homes, zoned R -2

o What is the staff recommendation?
The staff is recommending approval of the amendment to the
conditional use permit. It appears that both the Westbrooke
residents and the mini storage owners both will benefit from
this development. The mini storage facility has been a
quiet neighbor to Westbrooke and will continue in the same
manner. Westbrooke will purchase a portion of the property
in which to construct a much needed maintenance building.
The west side of the 70 foot strip will continue to be a
buffer area.
o Does the applicants proposal affect the landfill?
There are several monitoring wells on the outlot. Both the
applicant and Westbrooke will be required to provide the
city a license agreement for these monitoring wells.
Alternatives.
1. Recommend approval of the amendment to the conditional
use permit. By recommending approval of the
conditional use permit, the City Council will consider
a recommendation of approval to an amendment to
conditional use permit 87 -28.
2. Recommend denial of the amendment to the conditional
use permit. By recommending denial of the conditional
use permit, the City Council will consider a
recommendation of denial for an amendment to
conditional use permit 87 -28.
3. Continue for further information. If the Commission
indicates that further information is needed, the item
should be continued.
