Minutes Planning Commission 4/9/86 Commissioner Lindsey has concern with 1.47 acres of unpaved storage and what would go into the area. He didn't want to see junk, damaged vehicles, old trucks, etc. He didn't feel this was the applicant's intent but expressed concern in the event the property was sold. Commissioner Innes suggested that perhaps "No salvage operations" put in Condition No. 3 might cover the concerns. Chairman Wilson and Commissioner Innes then discussed impounded vehicles. The public hearing was opened. Kevin Best, stated they wish to store recreational vehicles and feel there is a need for this use in the community. The project does not justify a full or half time watchman at this time. He said the Police want the entire area fenced with an alarm. In discussing this further with the Police, an interior fencing was not the required after they saw what the applicant planned to do. They have discussed with the Police Department different types of alarm systems. At their last meeting they were pretty much in agreement to have Dick Jane as watchman with an alarm in their car. Further down the line they would apply for a use permit for such a person. They request at this time, to relinquish Condition 1(a) which has already been done by the letter of the Police Department and also 1(b). The Police would like to meet with the applicant and Dick Jane to see what they require. They are asking that the Police Department be allowed to approve the alarm and security system. Chairman Wilson didn't understand Police Department's Condition No. 2 and the requirement for guard service. Guard service will help but it won't keep recreational vehicles from being burglarized. Currently there is no place in town to put RVs. The City needs this use. He felt a barbed wire security fence would make sense but it is not cost effective to require all of the alarms and security requested by the Police Department. People who store RVs should take their things of value out of the RVs when they are stored. If the City wants these vehicles off of the City streets, then the applicant should be encouraged to provide the use. Commissioner Innes addressed interior alarms and the fact that they would have to be deactivated continuously. The Chairman and Commissioners discussed alarm systems and their sensitivity. Commissioner Michelotti discussed hiring off-site security which would give the appearance of a highly guarded area. Commissioner Wellman could support an off site alarm and guard system. Commissioner Lindsey was still concerned with long time storage and what types of things would be stored. Mr. Best reviewed the types of items he would like to see stored such as forms and Jersey barriers required for use by contractors. Commissioner - 4 - _ - _ _ r _- _ __.... _ . _ . _. .,
