Phone: 455-2962
REQUEST:
Revision of an approved "PCD" project for a landscaping
business.
STAFF REPORT:
This is a request to revise an approved PUD project. The
changes consist of:
(1) Moving the tool/storage/workshop from the west to the
east side of the property, and expanding it from a
24' x 48' accessory building to one of 80' x 201. This
building will be built up off the ground 6' with
9" x 7" piers.
(2) Expanding the "greenhouse/lathe house" from 20' x 60'
to 100' x 1401. This would be expanded over a period
of time. The structure is a shade cloth (nylon mesh)
stretched over a frame of 2" x 6" lumber supported by
5" x 5" posts. It is to be used for protection of
shade and semi -shade loving landscape plants. The
floor will be of gravel with no solid walls.
ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
(A) Those facilities proposed in the floodplain must be
constructed with their minimum floor elevation 1' above
the 100 -year flood elevation.
File No. 555-A - Continued
(B) Only plant materials will be allowed in the floodway
area; no fences, construction materials, pallets, etc.,
will be permitted.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Staff does not feel that the revision sought by the
applicant will be detrimental to the project itself or the
surrounding areas. There is a requirement, however, that
all structures must set back 25' from the floodway. Staff
supports the intrusion into the required setback area only
if it was approved on the previous plans; otherwise, the
applicant is asked to comply with the requirement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approval, subject to comments made.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
It was decided that the proximity of the buildings to the
floodway should not be an issue since it involved a
greenhouse and a building raised 6' from the ground,
provided there would be no enclosure of the raised building
in the future.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant reported that he had failed to get his notices
out on time. He then requested a 30 -day deferral. A motion
to this effect was made and passed by a vote of: 9 ayes,
0 noes and 2 absent.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
(4-25-85)
There was no further review of the item.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (5-14-85)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors. Staff
reported that the notice receipts were submitted. A motion
for approval was made and passed by a vote of 10. ayes,
0 noes and 1 absent.
