Hu¢o Good Nei¢hbor Food Shelf — Site Plan — 15106 Francesca Avenue North
Planner, Rachel Juba, presented on the site plan for Hugo Good Neighbor Food Shelf
The applicant is requesting approval of a 1,500 square foot building for its new location on a
0.58 acre property. The food shelf recently acquired a property with money it received from a
Community Development Block Grant administered by Washington County. The property is
located in the General Industrial (1-3) zoning district.
Juba presented on the Hugo Good Neighbor Food Shelf site plan based on the following
subjects: building setbacks, lot coverage, building height, parking, lighting, landscaping, building
materials, signage, screening, stormwater management, utilities, and street access. It is in staff's
opinion that the application meets the requirements. Staff recommended approval for the Hugo
Good Neighbor Food Shelf site plan.
Cindy Petty, a volunteer with the Hugo Good Neighbor Food Shelf, addressed the Commission.
She asked if signs were allowed to be put up around the site during construction. Juba answered
saying the ordinance allows for this. Petty then asked if the building could be used prior to the
landscaping being completed. Juba answered saying the City has accommodated past
developments and recommends a meeting with the Building Department before issuing a
building permit and issuing a certificate of occupancy.
Chairman Gwynn opened the public hearing. No one from the public commented. Chairman
Gwynn closed the public hearing.
McRoberts made a motion, Arcand seconded, to recommend approval for the Hugo Good
Neighbor Food Shelf site plan, located at 15106 Francesca Avenue North.
