The applicant was not present. Staff presented the item. The Planning

whether any signage was planned. The Public Works comments regarding right-

also noted. Responses to comments and issues with revisions were required no
later than August 14, 2019.
ANALYSIS:
In response to comments, the applicant indicated the buildings are being planned
to be flexible in use without any confirmed tenants at this time and may also be
built in phases. It is likely the rear building and the surrounding yard would be
used by a service contractor and would involve some storage of equipment
outside. Any such use should be screened so any vehicles or equipment are not
visible from any adjoining lots or streets. All signage would comply the types and
standards for commercial districts.
All Public Works and landscaping comments will be addressed and satisfied.
Sufficient justification has not been provided for staff to recommend approval of
the variance to allow the rear building to be surrounded by gravel.
J. STAFF RECOMMENDATION.
Staff recommends approval of the site plan subject to compliance with the
comments and conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E, and F of the agenda
staff report.
Staff also recommends denial of the variance to allow gravel to surround the rear
building.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (AUGUST 29, 2019)
The applicant was present. There were no registered objectors present. Staff presented
the item and a recommendation of approval as outlined in the "staff recommendation"
above, with a denial of the variance to allow gravel to surround the rear building.
Phillip Lewis and Michael Love addressed the commission regarding the recommendation
for denial of the variance to allow gravel to surround the rear building. They indicated the
likely user of the property would have some equipment stored outside of the building.
After discussion with the commission and staff, the applicant agreed to pave all areas
intended for parking or vehicular use on the site.
There was no further discussion. A motion to approve an amended site plan with all
parking and vehicular areas paved was made and seconded. The vote was 8 ayes, 0

quasi -public facilities that provide a variety of services to the community such as
schools, libraries, fire stations, churches, utility substations, and hospitals. The
applicant has applied for a revision to their POD (Planned Office Development
District) to allow construction of a new office building with parking on the site. The
request is in the Highway 10 Design Overlay District.
Master Street Plan: To the north of the property is Cantrell Road and it is a Principal
Arterial on the Master Street Plan. A Principal Arterial is to serve through traffic and to
connect major traffic generators or activity centers within the urbanized area. Entrances
and exits should be limited to minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on
Cantrell Road since it is a Principal Arterial. This street may require dedication of right-
of-way and may require street improvements for entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: A Class I Bike Lane is shown along Cantrell Road. A Bike Path is to be a
paved path physically separate for the use of bicycles. Additional right-of-way or an
easement is recommended. Nine -foot paths are recommended to allow for pedestrian
use as well (replacing the sidewalk).
H. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
kAugust 7, 2019)
The applicant was present. Staff presented the item to the committee. Planning
staff requested more specific information on proposed use or uses of the building
and proposed hours of operation. As the intended user did not plan to use a
dumpster for solid waste services, the initial site plan did not have a location for a
dumpster. Staff requested a proposed location be incorporated into the site plan.
Also, staff asked for additional information about proposed signage. Publc Works
noted the possible requirement for dedication of additional Cantrell Road right-of-
way. A second item was to state that parking would be allowed on only one side
of the proposed 24-foot wide private drive. Third, the applicant was reminded of
storm water and erosion controls in general, with specific direction regarding the
private lake downstream from the site.
Responses to comments must be received by August 14, 2019.
The committee forwarded the item to the full commission for consideration.
ANALYSIS:
In response to Staff questions, the applicant indicates the proposed user of the
new building would be a travel agency focused on group travel. A location for a
dumpster pad has been added to the revised site plan; however, it will not be
required to be constructed unless a dumpster is to be utilized on the property. In

regard to signage, a freestanding monument sign is proposed. This sign and all
other future signage would comply with the Highway 10 Design Overlay District
standards,
All other comments and conditions were noted and compliance intended, subject
to ARDOT requirements and restrictions related to improvements in the Cantrell
Road right-of-way.
This proposed development is keeping with the office park setting already in place
on the property and in the area.
J. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the POD subject to compliance with the comments and
conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E, and F and the staff analysis in the agenda staff
report.
