k-
the Commission stating the owner has been unable to obtain fi-
nancing for the project due to the lack of two bedrooms.

sanitary going right through that tree's root system. The Com-
mission expressed concern with vegetation within the stormwater
retention areas. City Council Liaison, Mayor Mike Martino,

temporary storage facility and justification for need.
Mr. Ellington stated Mr. David Getz, the City Engineer, submitted
a letter to the City stating the gravel parking area located to
2
the north of site, coupled with the situation of the temporary
trailers, can pose an unsitely site there and recommends the
gravel parking spaces be paved. However, Mr. Getz did not know
that the gravel parking spaces will be paved with the second
phase of the PUD which was just recently submitted to the Plan-
ning and Zoning Department. The Police Department recommends
that a fence be placed around the facility with razor wire to be
installed on top and signs that read "No Trespassing" and also
high pressure sodium lighting.

stating the hospital is in a bind because they have records and
equipment they need to store.
