City of Orono 2750 Kelley Parkway P.O. Box 66 Oronoy MN 55323 Phone: (952) 294-4600 Fax: (952) 249-4616 MEMORANDUM DATE:September 14,2001 TO:Chair Hawn and Member of the Planning Commission FROM:Paul Weinberger, Zoning Administrator SUBJECT: Revisions to application #01-2711 - Western Steel Erection. Inc. Conditional Use Permit - Outside Storage ___________ Based on staff comments as well as the need to store equipment indoors, Western Steel has begun revising their site plan and reviewing future “outside storage" use on the property. They have indicated they would like to park and store as many of the vehicles inside the e.xisting building as possible. Stephanie Jochims, President of Western Steel, has indicated the revised site plan will be available prior to Monday night's meeting. Western Steel would like to discuss the plan with the Planning Commission. Ms. Jochims is concerned that parking of vehicles outdoors may cause damage to some of the equipment. Parking the vehicles indoors is the preferred alternative. I have attached a Staff Report, dated September 5, 2001 that was written assuming the outside storage and parking would be for all the equipment used by Western Steel. Equipment includes 30 one-ton company pick-up trucks, 6 cranes, welding equipment and a private fueling point for company vehicles. Please review, however their will be a plan revision for Planning Commission review. fhe cranes are stored off-site at construction sites for most of the year. Ms. Jochims has stated the cranes may be on the property for a time period of up to 6 weeks per year. Ms. Jochims will not be present at the meeting Monday night, however a representative of the company will be present with the proposed plan revisions. L u
