City Council Approves Controversial Self Storage Facility Plan
During a recent government meeting, the council discussed the appointment of Ted Kwasawski to the Combined Health District Board, marking the end of his term due to newly implemented term limits. The council expressed appreciation for community involvement, particularly highlighting Lisa's contributions to the planning master plan committee and her work with the Office on Aging.

The meeting also addressed a resolution to approve the site plan for a self-storage facility on Freight Boulevard, which had previously received conditional use approval in November 2022. The proposed development includes seven buildings with a total of 538 units. The planning commission recommended approval, contingent upon several conditions, including the installation of a solid vinyl fence to screen the facility from nearby residential areas and compliance with a detailed lighting plan to minimize light pollution.

Concerns were raised regarding fire suppression measures, as the facility is not required to have them under current regulations. However, the council noted that the facility would still meet necessary safety standards. Discussions also touched on landscaping plans and parking arrangements, with some council members questioning the adequacy of parking spaces and lighting for the facility, especially during winter months when daylight is limited.

The council ultimately moved to approve the resolution, allowing the project to proceed pending final adjustments and compliance with all stipulated conditions.
