report that the city has been working with DJs to bring the site into compliance with the 2005
Albertville Municipal City Code Zoning Section. Applying for the conditional use permit for
outdoor storage is one of the requirements to bring the site into compliance.
Brixius noted that the property is zoned B-3, Highway Business District, which allows for
Outdoor Storage under a conditional use permit, Outdoor Sale as an accessory use, and
Temporary Outdoor Seasonal Sales as a permitted use per further regulations.
Don Savitski, owner ofDJs has proposed to create an 18,597 square-foot outdoor storage area to
the eastside of the heating and air conditioning building and to the north of the A. Savitski
building. The outdoor storage area will be enclosed by an eight foot high fence. Mr. Savitski
anticipates the storage of store dumpsters, storage trailers, pallets, used household appliances,
pipes, hot tubs, equipment, and trailers.
The outdoor storage of heating and air conditioning equipment and used household appliances
requires DJs to either certify a condition of no exposure of contaminants or develop a
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA). City staff directed Mr. Savitski to work with the MPCA to develop a plan to deal with
the safe outdoor storage of the business equipment to keep contaminants out of the site's
stormwater system.
Chair Leintz asked the Commission members if they had any concerns or questions pertaining to
the DJs Heating and Air Conditioning Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Outdoor Storage.
Vice-chair Kocon asked about the area that would be fenced and who would be responsible for
what portion of the fence.
It was noted that it would be DJ s responsibility to maintain the fence.
Chair Leintz asked if there was anyone in the audience that expressed concerns or questions
regarding the DJs Heating and Air Conditioning Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Outdoor
Storage application that is before the Commission for review.
Don Savitski, owner ofDJs Heating and Air Conditioning was present to answer additional
questions or concerns of the commission.
There was discussion on the style of fence that would be installed. The style proposed appeared
to be a chain link fence with vinyl or plastic slats. Commission members made the comment that
a wood fence may be better than a chain link. Following the discussion, it was the consensus of
the commission to allow the chain link fence with the vinyl or plastic slats.
Mr. Savitski informed the Commission and staff that the vinyl or plastic slats would be grey to
match the exterior color of the building.
