permit for outs;de storage of boats and semi -trailers at 1491 C 28th Avenue North The
applicant had been cited for ,t violation of the Zoning Ordinarre regarding the storage of
pallets and boats in the truck court area and subsequently applied for a conditional use
permit for a portion of that storage, and storage of semi -trailers on a permanent basis. He

adequate screening cannot be prcvided as required by the Zoning Ordinance. He stated
the Planning Commission discussed the general topic of permanent outside storage of
serer -trailers at industrial locations. tie cautioned the Cou til that approval of this tttiluest
could be precedent -setting and would likely open the door t , many similar requests

parked against the building, and he questions whether he is now in violation of the ZoninS
Ordinance. He stated that 93 parking stalls are required for hip site, and he has 100,
therefore, approval of the request would not pose a parking problem on the site

in 1994 are primarily land acquisition and road reconstruction - not park construction. lie

ITM.M 7-G SEA ER RATE ADJUSTMENT ORDINANCE
Finance D•rector Hahn stated the 1993 Sewer Fund budget which the Council recently
adopted assumed a 5 percent increase in the volume rate. Th;s inc-ease is required
because the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission billir, has increased the 1093 sewer
treatment cost from $2,948,627 to $3,383,016 or 14 7 percent. The sales tax portion of
this increase is $44,723. lie stated that even with the proposed rate increase, the 1993
Sewer Fund budget included a contribution ti-om retained earnings of $429,900. He stat -d
that if the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission continues these annual incr:ases, the
City will need to increase the rates a inch larger percentage in the future. Director Hahn
stated the 5 percent increase is proposed only to tie volame charge The flat charges
would remain the same This will result in an average sewer rate increase to residents of
about percent

ITEM 7-H COMPOSTING ORDINANCE
Public Works Director Moore presented the proposed ordinance regulating back yard
composting activities. He stated that the ordinance would be used as a tool in those
instances where staff is contacted to deal with a nuisance complaint. It has b. -en drafted to
afford some degree of objectivity to the officer responding to a neighbor complaint, and
will provide a guideline in determining whether or not action can be taken. He stated that
education through brochures, the Plymouth News, newspapers, and cable television on the
proper techniques for composting, as well as the promotion of leaving grass clippings on
the lawns, are part of the City's plan for the 1993 Yard Wa.,te Program. He stated that
staff intends to respond to violations only on a complaint bas's.
Mayor Bergman stated he has received calls from residents about the odor of composting
pilcs on adjacent properties. He supports the proposed ordinance because the staff needs
an objective means of enforcing nuisance complaints relating to compost piles. He stated
that during the budget study sessions, the Council discussed whether to continue accepting
grass clippings at the yard waste site. He has not been informed that any Councitmember
wants to spend approximately $50.000 to continue accepting grass clippings at the yard
waste site in 1993 for the few property owners it serves.
MOTION was made by Mayor Bergman, seconded by Councilmember Tierney to adopt
ORDINANCE 92-33 RELATING TO YARD WASTE DISPOSAL AND
COMPOSTING.
Councilmember Vasiliou stated she supports the ordinance, but asked whether grass
clippings could be accepted at the yard waste site for spring and tall cleanup
Director Moore stated that grass would be accepted at the yard waste site in :993 for a
specified time for spring and fall cleanup. Bags of green gr: ss would not be accepted
Councilmember Vasiliou stated that she had received a phone call from a resident
complaining of a neighbor's compost pile She stated the odor is offensive to the adjacent
property owners and they support the ordinance.
