<br />Page 8 <br /> <br />2. A cold storage area would be added along the south side of the <br />building to accommodate equipment-such as lawn mowers which <br />are in need of repair. This addition would replace the <br />fenced-in exterior storage area approved as part of the April <br />28, 1987 site plan. <br /> <br />3. An exterior storage area of 6,600 square feet would be <br />provided along the west side or rear of the building. The <br />applicant proposes to screen this area with an opaque fence <br />and install crushed rock as a dustless surface. The applicant <br />has indicated this exterior storage area would be eliminated <br />when Phase II of the building is constructed. Phase II would <br />have a basement large enough to accommodate the materials <br />requiring storage. <br /> <br />The I-3 district limits exterior storage areas to 20% of the <br />total floor area of the building. The first Phase of the <br />building at 21,000 square feet would allow for 4,200 square <br />feet of exterior storage. Phase I and II together would allow <br />for 6,600 square feet of exterior storage. The applicant is <br />requesting both Phases be considered when determining the <br />amount of exterior storage. <br /> <br />The proposed exterior storage area would comply with the I-3 <br />district standards regarding screening, size and location, <br />however, such storage areas are required to be paved. <br />Considering the temporary nature of the proposed exterior <br />storage area, the applicant is requesting the Council to allow <br />a crushed rock surface. Once the second Phase is constructed, <br />the exterior storage area would be removed, the surface paved, <br />and additional parking stalls provided. <br /> <br />4. The proposed front parking area has been altered to allow for <br />the realignment of the proposed Phase I. The number of stalls <br />would be reduced from 69 to 64. The 40 foot front and street <br />sideyard setback requirement would be met. <br /> <br />The April 28, 1987 site plan (LP-210) conditioned the <br />construction of the second Phase of the structure on a <br />positive performance report regarding parking conditions for <br />the first Phase. This should also be a condition of approval <br />for LP-216. <br /> <br />5. To accommodate the proposed Hardware building the applicant is <br />requesting approval of a minor subdivision which would <br />essentially trade-off a portion of Mr. Dick Bury's property <br />for a portion of the applicant's existing parcel. The result <br />would be a 2.9 acre parcel identical in size and location as <br />.Lot 1 of the previously proposed Walburn Industrial Park plat. <br />The applicant has expressed an interest to move ahead quickly <br />with the proposed Hardware building, however, no interest has <br />been expressed by Mr. Bury to proceed with the Walburn <br />Industrial Park plat at this time. The minor subdivision <br />would allow the applicant to proceed with the proposed <br />
