Ron Ruthven presented the case and briefed the Commissioners.
Commissioner Byerly questioned staff regarding the number of parking
spaces. Are there 93 parking spaces with eight of them being truck
storage? Ron Ruthven replied correct.
Mr. Santos Martinez, the applicant, came forward to present the case
and brief the Commissioners.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned Mr. Martinez if they would be willing
to plant more trees to enhance the buffering along the southern
boundary? Mr. Martinez replied yes, along the southern boundary, next
to the current residential. He stated for the buffering along SH26, they
meet the Land Development Code requirements.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned Mr. Martinez regarding what type of
language would he like to see for this request regarding landscaping?
Mr. Martinez stated simple language could be a minimum of large
canopy trees, planted on 20 foot centers be installed on the southern
property line. He stated if the Commission wanted to enhance the
existing buffer with the existing self storage, similar language could be
used to be more favorable and easy to implement on this portion of the
property.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned Mr. Martinez if (5) five to (6) six
caliper inch trees would be an issue? Mr. Martinez replied that would not
be an issue for the southern property line.
Commissioner Redfearn questioned Mr. Martinez if he is familiar with the
requirements in the ordinance regarding the mutual access easement on
the southern side of this property? Mr. Martinez replied yes and he
stated they will have to plat the property.

Commissioner Byerly questioned Mr. Martinez regarding what type of
screening opportunities would be available for the Phase II building? Mr.
Martinez replied because of the fire lane there is only (5) five feet of
green buffer, therefore it is tight. He stated an (8) eight foot solid
screening fence is an option. He stated to plant large canopy trees
would be tough. He stated there is just not as many opportunities here
as there are on the southern portion of the property.
Commissioner Clardy questioned Mr. Martinez what is the plan for the
rental trucks. Are they going to be small or standard size? Mr. Martinez
replied they are standard lengths; the spaces would not be longer than
20 feet. Commissioner Clardy stated having concerns for the trucks
being parked near the propane tanks. He stated it seems that one could
back into those tanks. Mr. Martinez replied they will have safety
measures in place so that no one could back into them. He stated there
will be ballards in front of those tanks which is a requirement by State
regulations.
Discussion occurred between Commissioner Phelps and Mr. Martinez
regarding mutual access and parking. Commissioner Phelps stated
what is the plan with regards to both? Mr. Martinez replied they will
comply with the ordinance. He stated the property owner wishes to
satisfy this ordinance so that they may move forward with their request
so that they may develop this property.
Commissioner Phelps questioned Mr. Martinez regarding if he
understands that the ordinance trumps the diagrams? Mr. Martinez
replied yes.
Commissioner Knox moved to remove this item from the table.
Commissioner Clardy seconded.
The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 7 -Knox, Dudziak, Redfearn, Clardy, Rotthaus, Phelps, Byerly
Commissioner Dudziak questioned Fire Marshal Rob McKeown if he was
comfortable with the placement of the propane tanks? Rob McKeown
replied yes and stated the developers will comply with state regulations
regarding the placement of the ballards. He stated they are allowed to
have a 2,000 gallon tank within 10 feet of the property line or another
building.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned Mr. Martinez regarding what is the
size of the propane tank planned? Mr. Martinez stated they will have to
have a smaller tank to comply with the 10 foot setback regulation. He

stated they would comply with the fire code regarding the size of the
tank.
Commissioner Phelps questioned staff regarding if there have been any
correspondence received since the notification of this case? Ron
Ruthven replied staff has received no correspondence.
Commissioner Dudziak moved to approve case ZC09-010 with the
following amendments: 1. Along the southern boundary, to 20 foot, on
center, large canopy trees with a minimum of (5) five to (6) six inch
caliper; 2. Add enough parking spaces to meet 101 in number.
Commissioner Knox seconded with a friendly amendment for the height
of the propane tank to not exceed 10 feet.
Mr. Martinez replied not agreeing with the 10 foot height requirement.
He stated they would rather have a minimum of 15 feet in height for the
propane tank.
Commissioner Dudziak did not accept the amendment but did agree with
Mr. Martinez that a minimum of 15 feet would be sufficient.
Commissioner Byerly stated he would like an amendment to delete the
section of the ordinance stating the trucks have to be parked behind the
building. He stated the trucks will be screened with the landscaping.
Commissioner Clardy questioned Mr. Martinez if those front (4) four
spaces could slide back along the northern boundary to give even more
screening. He stated this would give an 80 foot setback. Commissioner
Dudziak accepted the amendment.
Commissioner Byerly restated the motion: 1. To plant along the
southern boundary, 20 foot on center, (5) five to (6) six inches in caliper,
large canopy trees; 2. Add enough parking spaces to meet the 101 in
number; 3. The propane tank not to exceed 15 feet in height; 4. To
have an 80 foot setback from SH26 for the parking of the display of
trucks. Commissioner Clardy seconded.

Aye: 7 -Knox, Dudziak, Redfearn, Clardy, Rotthaus, Phelps, Byerly
