5. Continued Public Hearing -Amendment of Ordinance for Open and Outdoor Stora~
Applicant: City of Monticello
Koropchak noted this item was continued from the May Planning Commission as it was
recommended to meet with the committee again. Tapper sees the proposed amendment as a
comprehensive review but does not address the fundamental issue. The real issue is screening
and is it necessary. Example: Refuse containers need concrete as trucks take-out. Does
screening make it better? Does it add community pride? Good citizenship is encouraged
