REVIEW APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO ALLOW OUTDOOR STORAGE IN THE B-3 DISTRICT Mr. Harry Griswald, Jr., was present to discuss the request for special exception to allow outdoor storage in the B-3 district. Mr. Griswald explained to the Board that basically he would rent storage space to owners of cars, R.V.'s and boats. Mr. Mackie asked if the fenced area would be locked up and Chairman Wheeler asked if there would also be sales. Mr. Griswald informed the Board it would be locked up and it was only for storage, there would be no sales. Mrs. Plaskett informed the Board that he will be required to have a six (6) foot high fence. Mr. Mackie asked if the storage would be at the owner's risk or if Mr. Griswald would have insurance. Mr. Griswald stated he would have somekind of insurance to cover it. Mr. Griswald stated there would be no office on the site and Mrs. Griswald will be in charge of the lot. The owner of a vechile/boat will have to call in advance to pull something out of storage. Mr. Mackie asked the shortest term of storage that Mr. Griswald would permit. Mr. Griswald stated it would probably be from a month to an indefinite period of time. Mr. Klein asked what the new fence ordinance consisted of. Mrs. Plaskett informed the Board it will just say a six (6) foot high fence, and the ordinance has only gone through it's first reading at this point. There was some more discussion as to the type of fence that should be put up. Mr. Mackie made a motion to recommend approval for storage only to the Board of Adjustments pending adoption by the City Council of the ordinance for outdoor display and storage. Mr. Loeffler seconded the motion. Motion Carried 5-0. Planning and Zoning Board Regular Meeting Minutes October 16, 1986 -1- o o r REVIEW APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR OUTDOOR DISPLAY IN THE B-3 DISTRICT Ms. Kathleen Poulin was present to discuss the request for special exception for outdoor display in the B-3 district, Little Red Furniture Store. Mrs. Poulin wants to be allowed to display used furniture during the day, which would be brought in for the night. Mrs. Poulin added it would be away from the street and in good taste. The Board agreed they had recommended denial to the Board of Adjustments before with the idea that the Planning and Zoning Board would not recommend approval until they came up with criteria regarding outdoor display. Mr. Mackie felt the Board really could not do anything with this request until they could sit down with the Board of Adjustments and come to some kind of agreement as to what the criteria should be for outdoor display and storage. Mrs. Plaskett informed the Board that the Board of Adjustments is granting special exceptions for outdoor display for a period of six (6) months, or until the Planning and Zoning Board criteria is developed further. Mr. Mackie made a motion to send this special exception to the Board of Adjustments with no recommendation. Mrs. Poulin felt her outdoor display was neat, clean and nice to look at, and didn't think she should be punished for the bad outdoor displays of other business people. The Board explained to Mrs. Poulin that they aren't after her, but until some criteria are established they have to either recommend denial or no recommendation, and it doesn't matter if the display is well done or not. Mr. Finn seconded Mr. Mackie's motion. Motion Carried 5-0. REVIEW APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION TO ALLOW A DUPLEX AT BOSTON ROAD AND RIVERSIDE DRIVE IN THE B-4 DISTRICT Mr. Earl Wallace was present to discuss the request for a special exception to allow a duplex in the B-4 district. Mr. Wallace passed around a plan of what the duplex would look like for the Board members to get an idea of what he wanted to do. Mr. Wallace informed the Board the duplex will face west. There was discussion of the parking requirements. Mr. Wallace stated that one unit would have a garage and they were providing two parking spaces for the other unit. Mr. Mackie asked if they were going to use the rest of the lot for anything. Mr. Wallace said no. Chairman Wheeler said duplexes were not allowed in the B-4 district. Mrs. Plaskett informed the Board it was allowed as a special exception, and that's why Mr. Wallace had come before the Board today. There was some discussion on the ownership and who would be living there. Mr. Loeffler made a motion to recommend approval of this special exception to the Board of Adjustments. Mr. Mackie seconded. Motion Carried 5-0. MISCELLANEOUS: REVISIONS TO NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM, FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT CRITERIA Mrs. Plaskett read a memo to the Board which stated that a National Flood Insurance Program package had been received and that the law was changed October 1, 1986, for the criteria for flood insurance. She stated that there was included in the pack- age instructions to change the wording in the codes. The Board discussed the changing of mobile homes to manufactured homes and the definitions. The law states that no grandfathering of mobile home parks would be allowed. Mr. Loeffler stated this would place an undo hardship on people and wondered if they start to raise these units that they will have to bring them up to code like electric, etc. Mrs. Plaskett said she would check on this and also noted that some of the items would have to be addressed by other departments. Mr. Klein made a motion to have Mrs. Plaskett make a draft of the information that is pertinent to the Planning and Zoning Board regarding the Flood Program. Mr. Mackie seconded the motion. Motion Carried 5-0.
