HomeMy WebLinkAboutgr00090_000033_pg013Discussion centered on the site plan which did not conform to the zoning
ordinance relative to green area in the front yard, and the prohibition that
there be no front yard parking.
Mro Monroe stated that the only way the terminal could be built economically
and to provide security to the dock area was to provide parking in the front
of the office. He felt that it was unreasonable to require that the area be
landscaped since by so doing would increase the cost to Smith and cause them
to have to maintain the area. The Council individually approved the concept
of the terminal, but refused any final approval pending receipt of some other
acceptable site plan and receipt of a signed special use permit which is to be
prepared by Attorney Meyers at some later date.
Attorney Meyers felt that the agreement should include:
1) legal description;
2) a statement of or drawing as to how much property is to be
paved and what is to happen to the remaining portion;
3) landscape plan;
4) an agreement on buffer zone between Towns Edge Terrace Mobile
Home Park and Smith's Transfer;
5) a statement of or drawing on fencing;
6) traffic pattern;
7) speed restrictions;
8) building size and description;
9) access;
10) solution to storm water problem;
11) restrictions on outside storage;
12) PCA or other government agency approval if needed;
13) above ground storage conditions;
14) easement for access to water tower;
14) lighting;
15) regulation of upstairs dormitories for truckers.
