Staff presented an overview of the proposed development stating the request was to allow the applicant the ability to construct a shop building to be used as a cabinet shop. Staff questioned if the business would have any employees. Staff also questioned the number of jobs and of deliveries per year. Public Works comments were addressed. Staff stated the use of the property would require dedication of right of way 30-feet from centerline along Winsome Drive. Landscaping comments were addressed. Staff stated screening and buffering would be required along the southern perimeter of the site. Staff stated the rear of the building could act as the required screening. Staff stated no equipment or materials could not be stored in the buffer area. Staff noted comments from the various other reporting departments and agencies suggesting the applicant contact them directly for additional information and clarification. There was no further discussion of the item. The Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. H. ANALYSIS: The applicant submitted a revised site plan to staff addressing most of the issues raised at the July 26, 2007, Subdivision Committee meeting. The applicant has provided staff with a revised cover letter indicating there are no additional employees proposed of the business. The applicant has requested the ability to employ a family member should his son decide to pursue the craft. The request also limits the use to the current applicant and his ownership of the home and his residence on the property. The revised cover letter indicates a maximum of twelve deliveries from the lumber company will be made to the site per year. The applicant has indicated a dedication of right of way per the Master Street Plan will be provided if the rezoning is approved. Staff is supportive of the request. The request is to allow the construction of a 32-foot by 48-foot wooden shop with a maximum height of 28-feet on the site to serve as a commercial cabinet shop. The owner has indicated the business generates eight to twelve cabinet jobs per year and there is little to no customer traffic to the site. Deliveries are made by a lumber company with a maximum of E August 16, 2007 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 13 (Cont. FILE NO.: Z-8241 one delivery per cabinet job. The days and hours of operation are from 7:00 am to 7:30 pm, Monday through Friday and from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm on Saturday. On occasion the hours may be extended to meet a deadline to allow a job to be completed. Staff is viewing the proposed use of the property as a home occupation for the present ownership of the property. Although a cabinet shop is not allowed as a listed home occupation staff is viewing the use as a home occupation thus not requiring a change to the City's Future Land Use Plan. Based on the fact the applicant has no employees outside a family member and there is little to no customer traffic to the site staff feels the proposed use should have minimal impact on the area. Staff also feels the approval should be limited to the current ownership and the current owner residing in the home. To staffs knowledge there are no outstanding technical issues associated with the request. According to the Pulaski County Circuit Clerk's Office there is not a bill of assurance for the site. Staff does not feel a commercial cabinet shop as proposed by the applicant and limited to the applicant's ownership will significantly impact the area. I.

Staff recommends the approval be limited to the present ownership and the present owner residing in the home, PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (AUGUST 16, 2007) The applicant was present.
