4 Chair Biedenfeld asked if on street parking would be allowed in this area. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola explained this would be a concern for the City and noted staff has been working with the applicant to find a parking solution. He explained the applicant had achieved the City’s parking requirements. Commissioner Frischman questioned how big the retail area would be. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola stated the retail area would be 2,800 square feet in size. Pete Mock, Paddle North, explained he was interested in Building 1. He discussed how he would be renovating the building to make an entrance on the north side. Commissioner Frischman inquired if the nine parking spaces would be adequate. Katie Johnson, Donatelle representative, discussed the nine parking spaces and easement, noting the parties have agreed to the concept and Paddle North would be responsible for installing signage. She indicated Paddle North would not have a constant flow of traffic, but rather would have people coming in to pick up merchandise sporadically. Josh Peterson, Vandalay Industries, stated his business would not be utilized after normal business hours (7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday), which meant Paddle North could use his parking spaces in the evening hours and on weekends. Commissioner Enanaa requested further information regarding the site signage. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola discussed the signage proposed for the site noting the final details would be worked out with staff. The Public Hearing was opened at 7:10 p.m. Commissioner McQuillan asked what type of recycling activities would be conducted by Vandalay Industries. Mr. Peterson explained he works mostly with papers and plastics. He stated he aggregates materials and ships them out for reuse. Commissioner McQuillan indicated he was concerned about the lack of information available regarding what would be done on the Vandalay property and what types of recycling material would be stored on this property. Mr. Peterson reported the conditions of staff would ensure the property remained in compliance with City Code. Ms. Johnson described how the proposed use was aligned with the warehousing use. She appreciated the concerns that were raised by Commissioner McQuillan but explained that the recycling industry was ever changing. Commissioner Frischman questioned if the City has ever done a fire marshal review of other properties. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development Gozola noted this was not always a requirement, but staff recommended the Vandalay property have monthly inspections from the fire marshal because the material being stored onsite would be ever changing.
