22 1 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 2 3 PUBLIC COMMENTS: 4 Chad Abbott asked if a condition could be applied to the application, such that the owner 5 could have a separate maintenance building on the property at a location that still complies with 6 setbacks and impervious surface requirements. He said it does not change the use or the 7 conditional zoning use of the property. He said the owner has requested a 20 by 30 shed, for 8 lawn care and maintenance equipment, outside of the fenced area of the property. He asked if 9 staff could review this to make sure it meets the requirements of the zoning district. 10 John Roberts said the Board would need to determine if staff could review this condition, 11 and, if so, staff would need time to review this condition, and it would require the item be 12 continued to a future meeting. 13 Michael Harvey clarified the request by Chad Abbott, and said the building would not be 14 for a business purpose, but rather just for storage. He said he did not see this condition as a 15 problem, as there would not be any land disturbance, and it would not result in an increase in 16 impervious surface. 17 Chad Abbott said the shed would be outside of the storage facility, and outside of the 18 fenced area. He said it would not be on impervious, but the impervious calculations for the 19 watershed for the property would still be maintained. He said the stormwater group would 20 review the construction drawings to make sure they meet the maximum impervious amounts. 21 He said the condition of the storage facility would be in keeping with the zoning requirements of 22 the property. 23 Commissioner Greene asked if the condition is consistent with the zoning, why should it 24 be continued to a future meeting. 25 John Roberts said staff might need time to review it, but it seems that staff does not 26 need that additional time. 27 Craig Benedict said if the shed does not exceed the limits of 12%, then it can be 28 approved. 29 Commissioner Hamilton said she would like to have the item come back before the 30 Commissioners at a future meeting, giving staff time to review and confirm that the condition is 31 consistent with zoning. 32 Commissioner McKee said the requested condition is not inappropriate to consider at 33 the meeting, because of the nature of the facility. He said the process is set up to allow these 34 types of negotiations. 35 Michael Harvey said he does not have any concerns about adding the storage facility. 36 Commissioner Dorosin said he understands Commissioner Hamilton's point. He said if 37 the Applicant is changing the application, then it should be reviewed by staff and voted on a 38 future date. He said if the Applicant is not making a change to the application, then it does not 39 seem to be something the Board needs to consider. He said if it is not part of the project area, 40 then the Board does not even need to talk about it, nor have justification for the item to return to 41 the Board. 42 Michael Harvey said the application does not include the extra storage building, and, 43 ideally, it needs to be shown on the site plan. He said it is an accessory unit, so he would be 44 willing to support the Applicant's request that a condition be imposed. He said it is not going to 45 increase the additional storage space on the site, nor will it increase the impervious surface. 46 Commissioner Dorosin asked if the extra storage facility was added to the application 47 earlier in the process, would Michael Harvey have asked the Applicant to add it to the site plan. 48 Michael Harvey said yes. 49 Chad Abbott apologized for the late notice of this request. He shared his screen to show 50 the property. 51 Chair Price asked if this shed will be in the area that needs to be rezoned.
