Memo to Planning Commission/CU 01-31 <br /> August 28,2001 <br /> Page 2 <br /> the building will be removed.This location was picked because it is in a low area,out of the <br /> • wind and generally screened from adjacent properties by existing vegetation. <br /> Addition to Existing Storage Building <br /> The applicant is proposing to construct a 100'X 60' (6,000 sf.) addition to the existing <br /> storage building. The existing building is used to process and package peat and for the <br /> storage of vehicles.The applicant has found that they need additional area for storage and <br /> loading the packaged material on to trucks.The proposed addition is planned to meet those <br /> needs.The addition is designed as a lean-to that will be enclosed completely on three sides <br /> and partially enclosed on the fourth.The Building Official does not have any outstanding <br /> issues regarding the peat processing nor has he received any complaints about the operation. <br /> Some minor grading will be needed to prepare the building site. <br /> New Building <br /> The proposed new building will be 120'X 60'(7,200 sf.). It will be located about 200 feet <br /> north of the existing building.The building will also be considered"temporary"because of <br /> the long range plans to mine the area. The 7,200 square foot building will be a metal pole <br /> building similar to the existing building.The new building will include restrooms and an on- <br /> site septic system.This building will be used by the applicant to manufacture concrete septic <br /> tanks. A portable concrete mixer will be brought to the site,concrete will be poured into <br /> molds and the molds will be left to cure.The tanks will then be shipped off site.Some minor <br /> grading will be necessary to prepare the site.Two current employees will be working at this <br /> III <br /> site. Parking will be provided in the current employee parking lot. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request for an <br /> amendment to a conditional use permit to allow construction of an addition to an existing <br /> storage building and the construction of a second storage building to be used to manufacture <br /> septic tanks. <br /> II <br /> S:\ LANNING\SCOTT\CU01-31.DOC <br />
