4 difference of approximately 12 feet from Cleveland Road to the area of the storage tank. Vehicles traveling west on Cleveland Road would have a difficult time viewing the storage tank and vehicles traveling east on Cleveland Road would have a very limited view of the storage area. The placement of the 10-foot high vinyl-screening fence should also mitigate any direct view into the storage tank area. As shown, the storage tank is on the existing pavement. The pavement is at the property line, which leaves no area for placement of landscaping. The owner and NuC02 would prefer not to remove the existing pavement. They would hope the Board would agree that with the location of the storage tank behind the existing buildings, the placement of the 10-foot high vinyl fencing around the storage tank and the distance the storage tank sets back from Cleveland Road would meet the intent of the zoning ordinance to screen the use. They believe that approval of the request for no additional landscaping would not be detrimental to surrounding properties. The last Variance request is from the requirement that the proposed 14-foot high Bottled Gas Storage Tank be allowed to exceed the height of the proposed 10-foot high vinyl-screening fence by a maximum of 4 feet (i.e. height of Bottled Gas Storage Tank being a maximum of 14 feet). The proposed storage tank with its required piping located at the top of tank will exceed the fence height by a maximum of 4 feet. The owners and contingent leaser do not believe this small amount of exposure by a portion of the tank and piping will create an adverse impact on adjacent properties. They would note that the fencing will screen a majority of the structure and combined with the location of the structure on the site; there should be little negative impact on surrounding industrial sites or along the Cleveland Road frontage. The Petitioners would ask the Board Members to agree that approval of the above described Special Exception and Variances will not have a detrimental affect for this area, nor would the property values, public's health, safety, morals, or general welfare be adversely affected. The Petitioners contend that the strict application of the terms of the Zoning ordinance will constitute an unusual and unnecessary hardship as applied to the property for which the Variances and Special Exception are sought: that the need for the Variances and Special Exception arises from such condition peculiar to the property in the same Zone: and that the use or value of the area adjacent to the property described in the Petition for the Variances and Special Exception will not be injurious to the public health, Safety, morals, or general welfare of the community.
