MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANIVING COMIVIISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,November 21,2011 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Thiesse noted the Budget trucks would be 12 feet tall and it would be difficult to screen them. <br /> Levang asked as it relates to the outdoor storage on the western property line whether there would just be <br /> fencing in that area or slats. <br /> Gozola stated to his understanding that is just fencing and that slats could be required along that side as _ <br /> well. <br /> Levang noted the occupants of the other building would be able to see through the fencing if slats were <br /> not added. <br /> Curtis noted that building is currently empty. <br /> Mike Seeland,Property Resources,thanked the Planning Commission for considering their application. <br /> Seeland stated as it relates to the number of employees of the existing business,they currently have <br /> between four and five employees and they will be accessing the building from inside the security fence. <br /> The hours of operation of the office for the outdoor storage will be Monday through Friday from 9:00 to <br /> 5:00 and on Saturday from 8:00 to 3:00. Seeland noted 24/7 access for all people will not be granted. <br /> There will be no maintenance performed on the rental trucks apart from a 10-point check of the vehicle <br /> prior to it leaving the lot. There will be no maintenance people located on site. In terms of parlcing,the <br /> rental trucks will be parked inside the fence. <br /> Seeland pointed out there is a section of the building that extends upward on the north line that will be <br /> removed. <br /> The fence with the barbed wire is meant as an obstacle but it would be preferable if the barbed wire could <br /> be moved facing outwards. The majority of the entrance space to the facility will consist of two gates, <br /> with a separate gate for people exiting the site. The exact length of those gates at this point has not been <br /> determined. The gates will pivot and not slide due to snow. Seeland indicated they would prefer that the <br /> fence be decorative on the side of the entrance rather than chain link fencing. <br /> , Seeland displayed some photographs of the facility in Eden Prairie depicting the type of gate that they <br /> would like to use. <br /> Landgraver asked who their typical clients are. <br /> Seeland stated approximately 75 percent of their customers are residential homeowners,with a large <br /> amount of them being women. Due to their customer base,Ryan Companies needs the facility to appear <br /> and feel safe. Twenty-five percent of the customer base is commercial users. Activity would be <br /> restricted in the storage units as well as the use of electricity. The placement of the lights provides light <br /> into each of the units. <br /> Seeland displayed a picture of the inside of one of the storage units at another facility. There will be <br /> approximately 48,000 square feet of storage available. The units are not heated and the temperature <br /> inside the units would be consistent with the outside temperature. Seeland displayed a picture of the <br /> facility located in Mound and a picture of the items that would be displayed and offered for sale in the <br /> office. � <br /> � Page 6 <br />
