ARC2026-00012 1850 N ELDON AVE Applicant: CHRISTOPHER WYNN Work Type: 01.Land Development Code Unclear ATTENDANCE: Martin Gugel Justin Crighton, Chad Zickefoose. Staff: Bob Hosmer, Grady Porter and Samantha Payne(zoom) REPRESENTATIVE: Rick Wilson PUBLIC: Staff/Rep: Discussion around the approval of "chip and seal" as an acceptable all-weather hard surface material for the parking area associated with a storage expansion project, specifically addressing cost savings and regulatory compliance. Rep: The project is a storage expansion at 1850 N. Eldon Avenue and it involves expanding existing facilities by adding three more buildings and the primary concern is the surfacing of drive lanes and parking areas around these new buildings. Staff/Rep: Applicant proposed using "chip and seal" for the parking surfaces, which would result in significant savings (approximately $50,000) compared to traditional asphalt or concrete. Discussed if chip seal qualifies as an "acceptable all-weather hard surface material" under existing codes which list asphalt, concrete, and pervious pavers. Staff/Rep: Discussed whether "chip and seal" is technically a form of asphalt, given that asphalt is defined as a petroleum-based oil and noted that following Low Traffic Volume and Limited Use: The project location is away from the main street, and the anticipated traffic volume and use for the parking area are very low (e.g., no heavy delivery or moving trucks constantly, primarily owner/employee parking). Private Property: The area in question is private property, not a public works project. Dust-Free Condition: Chip and seal is considered to provide a stable and dust-free condition, meeting a key requirement of code. Cost Savings: The significant cost savings for the developer were noted as a factor. ARC ACTION: Chad motioned to approved to allow the use of chip and seal for the specific parking area associated with the site improvements. Martin seconded. 3/0 Approved Crucially, this approval is not a blanket authorization for chip and seal everywhere and is based on the particular conditions of this location, primarily the low traffic volumes and limited use, ensuring the surface is properly graded, constructed, and maintained to be all-weather stable and dust-free. Martin motioned to approve the March 26, 2026 minutes. Justin seconded. 3/0 Approved Result: Approved Page 3 of 3
