6 <br /> <br />1. The designated storage area shall comply with all building setback requirements <br />for the district. Outside storage is prohibited between the principal structure and <br />any public right-of-way. <br /> <br />The required building setback along CSAH 12 (Apollo Drive) is 50 feet. The proposed setback <br />for open and outdoor storage area is 160 feet and is compliant. No outdoor storage is <br />proposed or allowed between the single family house or construction-related business and <br />public right-of-way. <br /> <br />2. The storage area is landscaped and screened from view of adjacent uses and <br />public rights-of-way via a fence and greenbelt planting strip, in accordance with <br />§1007.043 (17)(f) of this Ordinance. <br /> <br />The table under Section 1007.043(17)(f)1. states that outdoor storage yards require a screen <br />height of 8 foot and the required screen materials consists of a wall or fence of permanent <br />materials and planting shall provide shrub cover for 50% of the wall or fence on the exterior <br />side. At its discretion, the City Council may approve a modification or waiver from these <br />standards where the affected property line adjoins another industrial property. <br /> <br />Per Sheet C2, Civil Site Plan, the applicant is proposing an 8 ft tall chain link fence with slats <br />around the perimeter of the bituminous outdoor storage pad and the existing gravel surface to <br />the south. <br /> <br />The City Council may waive the landscape and screening requirements along the west and <br />south property lines because they adjoin industrial properties. The west lot line abuts industrial <br />property currently owned by Chad Boe, presumably of Boe Ornamental (484 Lilac Street). A <br />chain link fence with slats exists along the west lot line. The south lot line abuts industrial <br />property currently owned by Patrick Bland, future site of Distinctive Elements Tile and Design. <br />Mature coniferous trees exist along the south lot line. <br /> <br />The east property line abuts the public right-of-way of CSAH 12 (Apollo Drive) and contains a <br />row of mature coniferous trees. If supported by Planning & Zoning Board and approved by <br />City Council, additional fencing may not be required. <br /> <br />Staff and the Planning & Zoning Board recommend a solid 8ft tall privacy wood, vinyl, <br />composite or similar product fence be installed along the north side of the outdoor storage <br />area to screen between the industrial use and residential home. Per Section 1007.043(17)(f), <br />chain link fences with slats are prohibited for screening walls. <br /> <br />If supported by the City Council, the slats in the chain link fence proposed along the south and <br />east perimeter could remain since the fence is being used more for perimeter control and the <br />mature coniferous trees are providing screening. <br /> <br />3. The entire storage area is fenced and secured in an appropriate manner. <br /> <br />Per Sheet C2, Civil Site Plan, the applicant is proposing an 8 ft tall chain link fence with slats <br />around the perimeter of the bituminous outdoor storage pad and the existing gravel surface to
