In the interim, while <br /> Palm collects bids, Oman suggested they leave the trucks, with acetylene tanks, outside to avoid <br /> risk of fire. Mr. Palm indicated that, while he would try to collect the bids and move the process <br /> along as soon as possible, he would need at least a 60-day window to park the trucks outside. He <br /> indicated that he had the underground proposal on his desk and was awaiting the sprinkler <br /> proposal. <br /> Mayor Peterson asked staff how Mr.Palm could be allowed to park the vehicles outside. <br /> Barrett indicated that the City could grant Western Steel the opportunity to park their trucks outside <br /> based on Oman's recommendation. <br /> Gaffron suggested that the City speak to the Fire Marshal about where to temporarily park the <br /> trucks outside and amend the CUP to allow the outside storage of vehicles for a specific amount of <br /> time. <br /> Murphy stated that it seemed like a pretty clear-cut case,the trucks need to be removed. _ <br /> White encouraged Mr. Palm to relay to Western Steel the City's concern that the fenced yard be <br /> locked in order to avoid vandalism problems to the vehicles. <br /> PAGE 2 <br />
