current zoning of the property is RI -1 and the Future Land Use Plan is Industrial. His client does
not want to develop the property to have delivery trucks; the only thing they wart to do on the
property is to store the blocks as they are now. He feels that they meet the buffer requirements
because of the distance with open space, vegetation, and trees.

Mr. Killgore stated that his client is being fined for allowing the blots to remain and the fine
continues to run until approval is met and if approval is net, the fine can be rescinded.

screened fencing, or by a block wall.

with a minimum -t. setback. This is an industrial area, but anything outdoors is the restricted
use. The comp plan and zoning as presented by Mr. Killgore is true, however the neighborhood

important consideration to be taken.

manner than just storage of these block. Mr. Gibson stated that when the applicant approached
the city, they were requested to provide a site plan to verify if the block were located on their
property or on the fight-of-wa

by Commission and consistent with the section regarding buffers and setting a maximum height
or the board can table the hearing and direct the applicant to come back with a site plan and
then the Commission can approve the conditional use if site plan meets requirements.

appropriate buffer. Mr. C rraway seconded. Mr. 1 lard r stated that there needs to be a time
frame and stipulation.
