'T!’:a"'-':Zoning File #1638 <br />April 11, 1991 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />•eview of Application > <br />The existing storage facility on the subject property is in <br />^ serious deteriorated and hazardous state. The City proposes <br />the iii^tallation of a "temporary* storage facility, 50*x96*. The <br />accessory structure is a pole barn (review Exhibits G and H). <br />The structure is classified as temporary because of the plans to <br />relocate the Public Works facility to another more suitable site. <br />The structure will be used for the storage of sand and salt and <br />ether equipment at a new site at same unknown date. The City is <br />t to determine how temporary the use of this structure willlUMhle >iww —-- --- - - <br />US it depends upon acquisition of a more suitable site tor a <br />Public works facility and funding that has not been determined as <br />of this date. The structure will have a permanent foundation <br />(oontinuous footings) the storage structure will not require the <br />Installation of an approved fire suppression system because <br />structure is less than 5,000 s.f. in fact# the Public Works <br />Director felt that he had no option as far as selecting a larger <br />Facility because of the increase cost of sprinkling on this site <br />($150,000 or more). <br />Review Exhibit E, the structure is shown meeting all <br />required street setbacks. The employee parking lot would be <br />reduced by two thirds. The current open yard storage area is <br />reduced and the much needed mixing area for salt and sand would <br />be lost. The City must ask for approval of the variances noted <br />in order to maximise limited use of space, minimize inpact <br />on site created with relocating uses on site and minimize costs <br />to taxpayers as use is temporary. <br />The City has explored the rental of storage areas in <br />adjacent cities, but the cost of rental for one year well exceeds <br />the cost of purchase of a temporary storage facility (especially <br />a facili" • that will be used for storage of other materials and <br />equipsMn t a future date). Council did not accept the rental of <br />storage a.. . as a viable option. <br />Opti< <br />Approval as proposed requiring approval of the variances <br />■ on the following hardship:noted above, based <br />1. The property is surrounded by roads on three sides and <br />mall resxdential lot at the west side - Inability to <br />increase area of site. <br />2. Shape of property <br />3. Temporary aspect of use as structure will be moved to a <br />more appropriate site at a later date. <br />01 <br />.... <br />4. <br />M- <br />1 <br />i <br />1
