Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon replied notice has been received from the adjacent property owner Dennis Sharp that they would be willing to work with the City and the adjacent property owner. If the Council is inclined he would suggest a motion to approve contingent on the City Staff Review Letter dated September 10, 2004, revised October 8, 2004, revising the grading and drainage plan to be in compliance with City standards, and contingent on the drainage and utility easement being worked out by the property owners concerning the pond on the adjacent property prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.

Case #5: Request for Site Plan Review for CNP Storage; Case of TSM Development, INC Associate Planner Geisler indicated this case is related to Case No. 6 and she will be discussing the cases together. She explained TSM Development, Inc. has submitted a site plan to develop a mini-storage facility on 4.8 acres on Outlet A of Regency Pond. A major subdivision is being processed along with the site plan to replat Outlet A. The Planning Commission reviewed the site plan at their July 1st and July 12th 2004 meetings, along with a subdivision request to replat Outlet A of Regency Pond. She explained TSM Development, Inc. is proposing to construct a 19,440-, 15,200-, 10,200-, and a 15,600-square foot storage building on Outlet A of Regency Pond. The proposed development is located in the E-1 Employment District; mini-storage facilities are a permitted use in this district. Associate Planner Geisler advised the lot coverage has been calculated at nine percent, which is under thc 45 percent maximum lot coverage restriction established in City Code. Under City Code the proposed development must establish a 60-foot buffer yard, with increased plantings, along all residentially zoned properties; the site plan is showing an adequate buffer yard on the eastern border but not on its northern border. She indicated the most current landscaping plan is still significantly deficient in terms of shrubs, most notably in both the buffer yards to the north and cast. At the July 1st meeting the Planning Commission recommended a privacy fence between the proposed development and the residential properties to the south, east, and north. The site plan currently shows an 8-foot chain link fence. The proposed site plan received its WMO permit approval on September 16, 2004. WMO approval contained several conditions, including thc addition of additional 'dead storage' on the Subject Property, and verification that thc lowest floor elevations of adjacent homes in Regency Pond are two feet above the 100-year City Council/October 12, 2004 Page 16 of 30
