There will be no phasing. All units will be constructed in Phase 1.
2. Provide hours / days of operation.
Office hours will be 9 AM to 6 PM Monday to Friday and 9 AM to 2 PM on Saturday. Gate hours

3. Label climate -controlled areas.
Buildings 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 will have heated and cooled self -storage units in the center of
each building accessible by a hallway that will run the length of the building. The self -storage
units that will be visible around the perimeter of the building will be standard self -storage units.
4. Label where RV storage areas will be.
Building #1 will contain large units suitable for enclosed RV storage since each unit will be either
15 x 50 or 12 x 40. There is no expectation of open air outside storage for boats and RV. On
occasion, trailers may be temporally parked in the southernmost portion of the property near the
floodplain area.

There will NOT be a dumpster on the property. Trash collection will be accomplished with a
residential style container for the office/apartment.

All site lighting will be low-level and directed away from the adjacent properties.

Signage will include a monument sign on West Kanis Road near the office and on the outside
wall of the office/apartment. All signage will conform with the ordinance requirements.
