D 113 l'n\ 239 Transition. The current zoning of the 13 overlay district of Protected Watershed oIIIrtinis the slSeven aiMile itCreek Watershed. Adjacent land uses include the railroad, utilities and industry. The request has been made for rezoning to Community Commercial- III . The Planning Staff recommends against rezoning of the property from Residential-1 to Community Commercial-3. The property is located in a Protected Watershed it overlay district and is proposed for non-residential use. A planned development approach, including site plan approval and the issuance of a Special Use Permit, provides better control over such development in a watershed. Planning Board Chair Jacobs asked for an explanation of the changed conditions in the findings of fact. Szymik responded that the allegation is that the land uses in the general area are compatible with those in CC-3 zoning. There is EC-5 zoning on property to the west and E- I on property to the east. Since there are existing commercial and industrial activitls in the area, this property is no longer suitable for residential purposes. ME,_Itomas_ahaadLec president Chandler Concrete Company, stated his desire to have the property zoned CC-3 primarily for the storage of excess plant equipment such as bins and hoppers. None of the equipment stored would be mobile and could only by moved with the aid of a crane.

He addressed documentation rinceludedfinwathe agenda which indicated a CC-3 rezoning would be appropriate. Planning Board Member Best asked why Mr. Chandler did no know about Planning Staff recommendation for Planned Development before this date. Planning Director, Marvin Collins responded that the recommendation was changed by him prior to agenda prepartlon and delivery.

Planning Board Chair Jacobs asked what Mr. ' ati= would have been to a previous recommendation of plannedChdeveelopment. Mr. Chandler noted that he did not care for a planned development noting that such a recommendation would require screening and buffers which he did not need simply for the storing of stationery equipment. Planning Board Member Yuhasz asked if this were to be long-term storage. Mr. Chandler responded that he did not know slnce several factors would be involved in the possible use of the equipment at another
