Exit 2 Storage - Dale Schmidt; 31399 Industrial Parkwav: (WRD #3) Proposal consists of the addition of an outside storage area. Ms. Wenger reported that the proposal was to provide an outdoor storage area at an existing self- storage facility. In 2004 the applicant received approval for a two-phase storage facility from the boards & commissions and City Council. Phase 1 of the project was completed and now the applicant would like to add 28 outdoor parking spaces to accommodate recreational vehicles.

Mr. O'Ma11ey advised that although outdoor recreational vehicles are allowed for the proposed use outdoor wazehousing of bulk materials is not a permitted use. Mr. Schmidt the owner indicated that his intent is to complete both phases which were previously approved. However, he would like to use one of the pads from the previously approved plans as an outdoor storage area. All setback requirements will meet City Code requirements. The spaces will be 60-feet from the rear fence in line with the existing building. The storage pad will be paved with asphalt and stripped so that each storage space will be a single space 10' x 40' which would accommodate a standard motor home. There will be cement curbs 4-feet in from the fence in each storage space to make sure the fence is not
