PUBLIC HEARING to consider Bald Eagle Erectors, Conditional Use Permit <br />for Open and Outdoor Storage <br /> <br />Ms. Larsen presented the staff report. The applicant, Bald Eagle Erectors owns the 5.45 <br />acre parcel located at 7309 Lake Drive. The request is for a conditional use permit to <br />bring the property into conformance with the open and outside storage requirements of <br />the, LI, Light Industrial zoning district. The applicant primarily leases the site to Mobile <br />Mini, a company that leases construction trailers and outside storage bins which are <br />stored on site. The applicant is proposing to pave a portion of their property <br /> <br />Staff addressed questions of the board. <br /> <br />Mr. Stoesz asked about turn lanes, and if they are needed. Ms. Larsen stated there <br />currently is not, and staff is not requiring any roadway improvements. Mr. Stoesz also <br />commented about future building improvements and expansion, regarding maximum size <br />allowed on site. Ms. Larsen stated the site is allowed a maximum of 75% impervious <br />surface cover. <br /> <br />Mr. Laden asked about height restrictions. Mr. Stimpson also expressed similar concerns. <br />Ms. Larsen stated the existing Land Use Agreement allows for the storage containers to <br />be stacked 2 high. To be consistent, the Board recommended a maximum height for all <br />exterior storage and equipment of 17 feet. <br /> <br />Mr. Stimpson asked staff if there was any concern about the bituminous pavement and <br />long term viability. Staff explained the pavement is thicker than standard driveway and <br />parking lot and will be able to handle the capacity of the storage containers. <br /> <br />Mr. Root asked about the privacy fence and the matching the existing wood fence. Ms. <br />Larsen explained the current fence is chain link, and is not allowed in open and outdoor <br />storage areas, it must provide screening and be 8 feet high like the fence in the front of <br />the property. The applicant will be required to submit a separate fence permit. <br /> <br />Mr. Stoesz asked if the surrounding property owners were informed of the improvements <br />being made to the site. Ms. Larsen explained that public hearing notices were mailed to <br />surrounding property owners and published in the Quad Newspaper. <br />
