MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 12, 2011 7:00 o'clock p.m. (6. #11 -3530 MIKE SEELAND OFPROPERTYRESOURCES MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLC, 2725 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST, Continued) In addition, they do not employ movers and merely staff the office to sell moving supplies and to handle the rental of the units. It is possible from time to time where there might be a meeting with five employees and it would be nice to have the number of employees be a little less restrictive. Seeland stated people will drop off trucks on the weekends and after office hours. The office hours are 9:00 a.m.to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. The office is closed on Sundays. The employee will move the trucks behind the gate the next business day. Access to the site will consist of two 20 -foot gates. There are no other access points to the site on the property. In terms of accessing the internal units, the intent is to use the large doors and access points that already exist since they appear to provide adequate access. Seeland indicated they perhaps might have access through the office to the units closest to that area. In terms of the internal units, the overhead depicts the current plan. This business is quite flexible and the size of the units might change depending on demand. Seeland stated he does not want to represent that the overhead will represent exactly how it will be on the inside. The number of units will depend on the size configuration, but the rentable square footage will be the same. They are proposing to have 109 outdoor units, with 38 being located in the back. Pat McCann stated as it relates to fire access, the fire and police departments will be provided with pass codes to access the front gates. People with outdoor storage will have a pass code to allow them only access to their outdoor units and the interior tenants will have a specific pass code that will restrict them only to that internal area. There will be a Knox box that will allow the police and fire departments access to the front door. McCann indicated there would be a key pad on both sides of the entrance gate. Rahn asked if they are 20 -foot drive aisles. McCann stated they will be 20 feet wide to accommodate the larger RVs and boats. Rahn noted the fire department will also require a minimum of a 20 -foot wide driveway. Franchot asked what number of employees they would be comfortable with allowing on the site at one time. McCann stated he has three full -time managers and three part-time staff for the three facilities, and that the maximum would be nine. They typically have one full -time manager there during the week and one part-time person on the weekend. Once in a while they will rotate their staff meetings to the various sites. Seeland stated their corporate office is located in Eden Prairie, but that there could be a rare occasion where eight employees would be on site. Franchot noted the language in the resolution states that no more than three employees shall work in the retail office space and that what the applicant is saying is that they will simply meet there on a rare occasion. Franchot indicated he is fine with that situation. Franchot asked whether the applicant is comfortable with the 23 conditions. Page 8 of 18
