The proposed storage building will be 20 feet by 40 feet in area. It will be located within
the west half of the property. The storage building will be located over 90 feet back
from the front (east) property line, 25 feet from the rear (west) property line and five (5)
feet from the north side property line. It will be separated from the nearest duplex
structure by 22 feet. The lot will be fenced (six foot chain -link), with a new sidewalk
from the duplexes to the proposed storage building.
The proposed storage building will be divided into four (4) 10 foot by 20 foot sections,
one (1) for each duplex unit. Each section will have a roll -up door. The building will be
metal construction on a concrete slab, with a roof pitch of 5:12. The structure will have
metal siding and metal Galvalume of roof panels.
There were no outstanding issues raised by the Subdivision Committee which the
applicant needed to respond to. To staff's knowledge, there are no outstanding issues
associated with this application.
Staff believes the proposed storage building which will serve two (2) existing duplex
structures is an appropriate use for this property. The proposed storage building will be
only for the use of tenants within the two (2) existing duplex structures. It will back up to
existing commercial uses along John Barrow Road. The proposed storage building will
not be out of character with the general area. Staff believes the proposed storage
building serving the existing duplex structures will have no advance impact on the
surrounding uses.

the following conditions:
1. Compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in Sections 5 and 6 of the
agenda staff report.
