approximately 100,000 square foot manufacturing facility under construction at
the time of survey.

3. A shopping center of similar size would be permitted to have one detached sign
of up to 200 square feet.
3. Recommend approval of the request for a second sign based on double
frontage as well as the size of the building in relationship to proposed detached
signage which would total less than 100 square feet.
ALDEN EQUIPMENT - Request a conditional use permit to establish an above - ground
fuel storage tank in an RI -1, Restricted Industrial Zone located at 500 Aero Lane.
1. Site is Zoned RI -1, Restricted Industrial and includes a recently completed

land Zoned RI -1.
3. Recommend that request to establish above - ground fuel storage tanks be

HODGKINSON - SHELL OIL - Request dimensional variances for property Zoned GC-

1. Site is Zoned GC -2, General Commercial and includes an existing gasoline
service station. Site fronts State Road 46 East/25th Street and Park Drive.

a. Landscape strip, 10 feet wide required, 5.25 feet proposed.
b. Canopy, 35 feet from property line required, 25.85 feet proposed.
c. Sign, 50 square feet allowed, 75.62 square feet proposed.
3a. Regarding landscape, the applicant essentially requests to leave a portion of
existing landscape strip adjacent to 25th Street "as is." The Planning and Zoning
Commission has permitted five foot landscape strips instead of the required 10
foot strip in places where the site is essentially developed and is part of a
renovation. Recommend approval of the requested variance for landscape
based on existing development and improvements already in place.
Planning Recommendations - Page 2
3b. Regarding the setback for the canopy, the site is essentially developed at the
present time and compliance would appear to create a hardship to the applicant.
Recommend approval of the requested variance of the setback from
property line for the canopy based on existing improvement.
3c. Regarding signage, the site included four detached signs as well as one snipe
sign at the time of inspection. The Planning and Zoning Commission granted a
sign dimensional variance for the nearby credit union that permitted an existing
sign face that was slightly larger than the 50 foot maximum permitted by the
LDR to be reoriented. Recommend that the request for a variance to permit
a larger sign be denied because there does not appear to be any special
condition or circumstance related to the parcel nor would such
conformance create a hardship upon the applicant. In fact, the proposed
location of the sign at the signalized intersection of SR 46 and Park Drive
provides excellent visibility and identification of the business.

setbacks from Towne Center Boulevard and parking space size.

unique nature of PD Zoning and similarity with variances already granted for the
project.
