7 the south. City ordinance does not prohibit the use of a chain link fence with slats for perimeter and security control. It should be noted that outdoor storage is only allowed on the “Proposed Bituminous Surface” as shown on Sheet C2, Civil Site Plan. Outdoor storage is not allowed anywhere else on site, including the grass and existing gravel surface areas within the proposed chain link fence. The applicant could consider reducing the area of the chain linked fence in area to only include the “Proposed Bituminous Surface” as a potential cost savings. 4. The storage area is blacktopped or concrete surfaced, unless an alternative wear- resistant material is determined by the City Engineer to be suitable to control dust and drainage and is specifically approved by the City Council. The 74.3’ x 93.7’ (6,948 sf) outdoor storage area will be a bituminous (i.e. blacktopped) surface. In regards to curb and gutter, per Section 1007.044(3)(h)12: Curbing and Landscaping. Except for single, two family, townhouse and quadraminiums, all open off-street parking shall have a continuous concrete perimeter curb barrier around the entire parking lot. Said curb barrier shall not be closer than the required parking setback of the respective zoning district. An open and outdoor storage area could be considered differently from a parking lot. By definition, exterior storage (i.e. open and outdoor storage) is an outside area where equipment, vehicles, trailers or materials are stored. A parking lot is an off-street, ground level area for the temporary storage of motor vehicles. Curb and gutter could be required for just parking lots and not exterior storage areas if supported by the Planning & Zoning Board and approved by the City Council. 5. The storage area does not take up parking space or loading space as required for conformity to this Ordinance and is not located in the front yard. The storage area does not take up any required parking space or loading space. The storage area is not located in the front yard. 6. The property shall not abut I-35W or I-35E. The property does not abut I-35W or I-35E. 7. The ratio of storage area to building footprint shall not exceed 2.5:1. For this purpose, the accessory structure building footprint of 2,900 sf will be used. This would allow a storage area of 7,250 sf (2,900 sf x 2.5 = 7,250 sf). The proposed bituminous pad is 6,948 sf. The storage area ratio is compliant. 8. All parking, loading and truck staging activities shall occur on site. On-street parking and loading associated with the use is prohibited.
