Orange St. & Lake Dr. Commercial Area Planning Study Mr. Grochala discussed some properties near the norther city border along Lake Drive between Orange Street and Maple Street, with non - conforming land uses. Staff noted that there are commercial uses surrounded by residential uses that need to be addressed. Staff has received complaints regarding outdoor storage and fumes from these locations. Staff discussed the history of uses for these sites. Staff requested direction from the board regarding the long term vision for this area Staff has considered having a consultant conduct a planning study for the area and draft some ordinance language that could allow for a transition of uses. Board comments included: Does the body shop run the auto sales lot adjacent to Tavern on Main? That body shop is out of line with the number of cars stored. • What is the benefit to doing a planning study if there are no uses that meet the desire of the owners and requirements for the area? • Interim uses should be considered that can accommodate similar uses to the adjacent uses that are legal non - conforming. • Support of a planning study to evaluate permissible uses if the cost is limited and the study is focused on this area alone. • The city needs to determine a way to improve the area for the neighbors' concern.
