SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT
(May 22, 2003)
Mr. Pat McGetrick was present representing the application. Staff introduced the
proposal stating the case was a rezoning request and the applicant had violated
the Land Alteration Ordinance. Staff stated the applicant had submitted a plan to
Public Works and staff was agreeable to the restoration plan.
Staff indicated to Mr. McGetrick there were additional items needed to complete
the review of the rezoning request. Staff requested the days and hours of
operation and the number of employees reporting to the site. Staff also
questioned if there would be any outdoor storage areas. Mr. McGetrick stated he
would verify with his clients but to his knowledge there was to be no outdoor
storage.
Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the road was a private
street and if there was to be any future construction the road would have to be
widened to two travel lanes. Staff also stated compliance with the approved
restoration site plan would be required.
There being no further items for discussion. The Committee then forwarded the
item to the full Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised plan to staff addressing most of the issues
raised at the May 22, 2003 Subdivision Committee Meeting. The applicant has
indicated there are 15 employees of the company reporting to the site
periodically. The applicant has also indicated there are approximately 3
customers daily. The applicant proposes the days and hours of operation to be
from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday.
There are five parking spaces proposed as a part of the development. The site
contains an existing 2550 square foot building and the applicant has indicated a
2000 square foot future addition. The site is a large area and although the
parking proposed is not sufficient to meet the typical minimum parking demand
for 2550 square foot office (6 spaces typical minimum) staff feels parking should
not be an issue.
El
FILE NO.: Z -6806-A
The applicant has indicated there will be three to four pickups stored on the site.
These trucks will be parked near the office building, which is located to the rear
of the site and should have limited effect on the area residents. There is to be no
other outdoor storage of materials or vehicles. There will not be a dumpster
located on the site.
The existing fencing will remain on the site. The non-residential portion of the
site is enclosed with a six foot chain link fence. The residential portion is not
fenced and will remain open.
The applicant has indicated the single-family portion will become a corporate
residence. There is an area in the rear, which is currently covered in gravel. The
gravel will be removed and the applicant proposes to place topsoil in this area
and reseed the site. This will give a more residential appearance to the site.
The applicant has indicated the garage will be used for automobile parking only.
The applicant has proposed the placement of a single ground mounted sign near
the entrance of the site. The sign is proposed to conform to signage allowed in
office zones or no more than six feet in height and sixty-four square feet in area.
Staff recommends approval of the requested signage.
The site has been used for non-residential uses for a number of years and will
more than likely not redevelop as a residential use. Staff feels the proposed use
is less intense than the previous use and should have minimal to no adverse
impact on the surrounding neighborhoods.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the request as filed subject to compliance with the
conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of this report.
PLANNING -COMM ISSION ACTION: (JUNE 12, 2003)
Mr. Pat McGetrick of McGetrick and McGetrick Engineers was present representing the
application. There was one objector present. Staff presented the item stating the
request was for a rezoning from PD -I to POD a less intensive use. Staff stated they had
received one letter in opposition of the proposed request. Staff stated the Public Works
conditions should be revised to include, the dedication of right-of-way 30—feet from the
center line of Pleasant Hill Road would be required and with any future construction the
roadway would need to be constructed to Master Street Plan standard.
Mr. Gary Briggs addressed the Commission in opposition of the proposed request. He
stated his desire was to return the site to R-2, Single-family zoning.

Mr. McGetrick stated the desire of the applicant was to return the existing single-family
structure to a residential structure to be used as a corporate residence. He stated the
applicant would also clean the site of the remaining industrial equipment stored on the
site. Mr. McGetrick stated the use was a low intensity use with approximately five (5) of
the fifteen (15) employees accessing the site daily and there would be limited customer
traffic.
There was a limited discussion concerning the feasibility of the site returning to a
residential use. Staff stated this was not likely.
A motion was made to approve the application as filed. The motion carried by a vote of
10 ayes, 0 no and 1 absent.
