. t::hat .wewould support and endorse, to lower the parking from 5 spaces.,
per 1,000 to 4.5 spaces per 1,000. I

FINAL SITE PLAN
/.
Nick Lewis: If there is a fire hydrant at the corner of Myrtle Avenue
and Ca~lton Street, the Fire Department will require' one additional
hydrant at the southerly most entrance.
.t. ';.:'
j.:.
Roy Ayres: Questioned if the plan was for dead storage units. The owner
replied that it was for mini-storage units and all units are facing away
from the streets. Owner will need to provide for at least one handicapped
parking space.

. John Rooks: Presented written comments prepared by the Engineering Department
(Attachment #2). Additional comments to the owner were as follows:
1. sanitary sewer would not be s.ubject to moratorium because it
goes to Marshall Street plant and also there are not enough
units to be involved in the moratorium.
2. storm water detention looks adequate.

There was considerable discussion at this point on that portion of the

Paula Harvey:
2. Planning agrees with Traffic Engineering that it would
be a benefit to the owner to reduce the number of parking
spaces. We encourage you to seek a variance on the parking,
nnd will support that requQst.

3. Buffering will be required along the East and South property
line. It was the developer's understanding that it was
the North and South property lines. Mrs. Harvey suggested
that the developer contact City Clerk's office for what
the Board's conditions of approval were.

Ream Wilson: Presented written comments from the City Forester. Further
noted. that since the project comes under the new Parkland Dedication
Ordinance, and is a non-residential project, open space is the only
requirement that must be met. Also stated that the city will want money
in lieu of open space since this would be a difficult area to maintain.
