Commissioner McPherson stated that based on the documents presented, he believed it may be difficult for the City to enforce the storage or rail cars. He recommended that the language within the development agreement be revised to ensure that the applicant does not allow his rail area to become a for profit rental space. Commissioner McPherson recommended that the pile storage language within Condition 2 remain as is, however, he was in favor with amending Condition 1. Commissioner Deick was not comfortable with Condition 1. He wanted to see a fully contained building for the salt. Commissioner Danger recommended a berm on the east side of the property be considered to assist with screening the view from Old Highway 8. Chairperson Howard discussed Condition 4 and asked if the Commission supported the proposed increase as proposed by the applicant. The Commission was not interested in amending this condition. Commissioner McPherson was in favor of allowing up to 10,000 square feet of road salt storage on the Belair site. Chairperson Howard believed that the proposed amendments would allow for road salt storage as proposed by the applicant. Planning Director Gundlach recommended that the Commission provide further clarity as to how the salt storage sales should occur. City Attorney LeFevere advised that the Commission provide direction on the parameters with which the salt sales can occur. Commissioner Deick still wanted to see rolling doors on the fourth side of the salt storage shed. Commissioner McPherson suggested that Item A require the shed to be covered on four sides, including a roof and Item C should have a maximum of 13,500 tons annually. Motion Amendment: Motion by Commissioner Nichols - Matkaiti, seconded by Commissioner McPherson, to amend Item A requiring the shed to be covered on four sides, including a roof and Item C which would require the applicant to have no more than 13,500 tons of road salt annually, noting the salt storage shed shall be no more than 10,000 square feet, and to not allow the applicant to store rail cars on the siding for profit. Amendment Approved 4 -2 (Danger and Chairperson Howard opposed). Amended Motion Approved 6 -0.

Planning Director Gundlach explained the deck would be 956 sq. ft. and accommodate seating for 50 occupants. The deck would be constructed of treated lumber framing and the decking would be a composite material. It would be surrounded by a 42" railing, the underside would have lattice screening and a gas fire pit is proposed in the middle of the dining area.
