BZDV-22-15 10770 E CR 300 N – SHELBY GRAVEL NON-RESIDENTIAL ACCESS STANDARDS A request for a Development Standards Variance from Article 7, § 7.38(B)(1)(c) “Non-Residential Access Standards,” to decrease ingress/egress point separation required. Parcel No(s): 32-08-20-476-001.000-016 1 of 3  Represented By: Russell Brown, Clark Quinn Law ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARING Adeleke Taiwo-Mustapha presented the slides and project. He reviewed the criteria for approving a variance. He noted that the applicant was looking to create a second access drive and that it would not meet the required spacing distance. He reviewed the applicant’s provided materials and staff synopsis. Mr. Scowden clarified that the ordinance was related to the 150’ feet between drives. Adeleke noted that it was. Russell Brown came forward to represent the project. He reviewed the special exception that was previously granted and how this project related to that. He explained that utilities prevented moving the drive further west and that an eastward shift would eliminate the traffic corrections that the applicant was trying to make. He reviewed the types of traffic coming in and out of the site and how the proposed drive should help reduce or eliminate stacking on the road. Mr. Humphreys clarified that it would be the same amount of traffic and that the major changes were stacking improvement. Mr. Brown confirmed. Mr. Scowden asked why the drive was not aligned with the one to the south. Mr. Brown reviewed how it would reduce internal site separation and detailed the utility restrictions to the east. He noted that it would also reduce the stacking potential. ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARING OPENED 6:17 Carol Ochs came forward to speak on the project. She noted concerns of the applicant already dumping concrete on the site to the north. She explained that there was a lot of dust coming from the site. Stacey Risk asked staff if there was a separate board that the concern of the use on the site to the north would need to go to. Jodi Dickey noted that staff had been in contact with the applicant to stop material storage as the Development Plan was pending and reviewed the zoning actions taken to this point. Mr. Brown returned to the podium to clarify that the applicant had been storing materials and was not crushing them at this time and that all of that was stopped by the applicant to finalize the Development Plan and landscaping installation. No additional questions were asked.
