MINUTES PLANNING COMl1!IISSION JUNE 14, 2001 The City Planner pointed out that agarage-style door would facilitate the storage of vehicles. The proposal is for an accessory building that would accommodate the storage of office equipment and property maintenance equipment. The Planner felt that it was more appropriate to have an accessory bui]ding that looked like a storage building than a garage. Philbroo(< suggested that if the building is placed so that garage door faced north or south, it would not be visible from Little Canada Road He noted that there had been a garage on the property atone time and the slab for this garage still exists. IY would be his plan to utilize the existing slab, modifying its size somewhat to accommodate the storage building. Roycraft noted that the existing slab is larger than the proposed storage building, and asked if a portion of the slab would be removed. Philbrook replied that the slab would be reconfigured to ft the accessory building- Philbrook reported that the decision to construct an accessory building is purely economic in nature. He noted that the annual rental fees they pay for off-site storage over the course of one year is the same as what they will pay to construct this accessory building. "There was no one present wishing to comment on this matter. The City Planner indicated that his preference would be to limit the doors on the accessory building to service-type doors so that the building looks like part of an office building. Mr. I{eis recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit Amendment expanding a commercial use by the construction of an accessory storage building as requested by G(oba] Volunteers at 375 East Little Canada Road subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner with the exception that the Commission recommends allowing agarage-style door on the accessory building provided that this door face north and that vehicular storage not be allowed in this building.
