ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
B-1. Site Plan Review for a proposed expansion/Outdoor display of
merchandise/68224 Main Street
City Planner Jeschke informed the Board that the applicant would like to expand their
shed demonstration area behind the silos toward the rear (north end) of the property
located at 68224 Main Street. The business has been going very well for Backyard
Living, and the applicants would like to have additional space for more demos on their
property. The applicant is proposing to demolish a few small building on the site and
provide an internal drive past the existing silos to a proposed expanded product display
area. The applicant is not proposing any additional access to Beech Street. The
applicant is proposing to have approximately 30 additional sheds/play structure, etc.
within the display area.
The additional display is appropriate given the type of business. The recommendation
is for a conditional approval of the requested site plan review.
Motion by Zink, seconded by Frank, to approve the requested Site Plan Review for the
proposed expansion of the outdoor display of merchandise in conjunction with Backyard
Living on 9.593 acres located at 68224 Main Street (APN: 50-07-06-01-157-008),
subject to the following conditions(s):
1. A greenbelt buffer consisting of one tree spaced every 20 feet and five shrubs
between each tree shall be provided along the Beech Street property line from
the silos extending northward approximately 200 feet.
All yeas Motion passes
