Home Browse Search

4 row of evergreen trees as shown on adjacent proposed Outlot "A" located West of Petition site. The Petitioner would state that as shown, they will be providing a double row of evergreen trees on the proposed Outlot "A" of the Subdivision Industrial Park. As shown this would create a buffer area of approximately 64 feet between the few existing homes and the location of the proposed storage area. The properties to the west of the Petition site have a Zoning classification of General Industrial, but there are a few homes located in this area. This portion of the Petition property also contains the main storm sewer line for the Industrial Park, which transports surface runoff created on the Industrial Parks' lots to the retention basin shown to the northwest of the site. This limits the amount of area that can be used for landscaping containing evergreen or deciduous trees. The Petitioner would hope that the Board Members agree that providing the 20 ft. buffer strip along with evergreen trees on the proposed Outlot "A" of the Industrial Park, that would effectively screen the outside storage area from the closest home. With this proposed buffer, the Petitioners believe that approval of this variance would not be detrimental to the adjacent properties. The last Variance request is from the required minimum frontage of 150 ft. for a property Zoned "GI" General Industrial District to a minimum frontage of 94.50 ft. more or less along Oliver Plow Court. The Petitioner would state that the Industrial Park Subdivision was planned and approved several years ago, prior to the City's new frontage requirement being added to the Zoning Ordinance. The lots were shown on a Primary Subdivision Plat approved through the City's Subdivision process. The petitioner would request to be allowed to create a lot that has frontage of approximately 94.50 ft. on a cul -de -sac. The Petitoners do not believe a variance for the frontage of this proposed Industrial site would have a negative impact on any surrounding property. As shown, it allows for the logical development of the Industrial Park which was envisioned several years ago when the development of this area began. The Petitioner believes that approval of the above Special Exception and Variances for this proposed use will not be detrimental to adjacent properties, nor will it adversely affect the surrounding property values. The Petitioner 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
