It is paved on the northwest half of the site and has Class 5 on the southeast side of the site. <br />Metro Gravel is adding4,528sq. ft. on to theexistingwarehouse buildinglocated on the northwest side of <br />the site“the northwest building”anda300-square foot addition on to the existing warehouseon the <br />southeast side of the site “the southeast building”. They will be paving the areas that are currently in <br />gravel. <br />Metro Gravel is proposing these improvements in order to lease the southeast building to their long-time <br />partner—andsecond largest supplier of parts for their equipment, and to meet the increased demand for <br />business to business sale of truck parts and truck storage and maintenance. Theleasedbuilding will be <br />used as a wholesale truck parts and accessories warehouse and distribution facility dealingin business to <br />business sales, which isa permitted use in the I-3 District. <br />This will strategically position the businessin a new market with potential to grow their business and <br />provide more consistent service to the area.

Improvements will include another <br />bay on the northeast side of thatbuildingfor washing and repairing trucks, and an expansion ofparts <br />room on the southwest side of the building.Theseimprovements will require additional septic to be added <br />to the site. <br />Theexisting paved lot areawill be striped forsemi-trail storage and the existing class 5 gravel in the rear <br />of the lot will be replaced with asphalt. The improvements to the site comply with the required setbacks, <br />parking, landscaping, andoutdoor storage requirements as shown on the site plan. <br />Employees and Hours of Operation <br />The facility operates 24 hours a day 365 days a year. The current number of people employed on site is <br />six and it is anticipated that the new distribution company will initially require three new employees with <br />the potential to grow to five employees. <br />HOU17001April 24, 2017 <br />Project Narrative2 <br />
