City Planner Licht summarized the City Council discussion and recommended changing the
screening to a minimum height to include berm, fence and plantings. City Planner Licht said
trees will become more effective over time as a screen, noting there are limitations with the
topography due to the wetlands.
Mr. Mattson said this is a proposed distribution site and the outside storage is due to the sizing
of products, not for product manufacturing. Mr. Mattson noted the majority of deliveries will
be during office hours. City Planner Licht said other businesses with the same zoning typically
do not have limitations, due to concerns regarding potential noise and lighting, now is the time
to set a limitation on hours of operation within the IUP. The City Council agreed to review the
hours of operation once the business has been established. City Planner Licht said if needed,
staff would address violations, stating there is leverage with an IUP.

height would be 12’.
