The persons in attendance at the meeting were: Reference Attached Sign-in List
The following issues were discussed at the meeting:
** A project introduction was given with an overview of the existing Conditional Zoning District
and of the proposed modification of the site layout. It was explained that this would be
climate-control storage, only 1-story, and with only an exit access to Sikes Dr.
** Several neighbors discussed their discontent over the potential views from the new single-
family lots that have recently been developed to the northeast of Sikes Drive. They were
generally not aware of the existing conditional zoning district site plan for much more
intensive commercial uses.
** The primary discussion revolved around eliminating the access to Sikes Drive, providing a
more extensive buffer width beyond the Sikes Dr. drainage easement, and installing a solid
privacy fence, along with the required street yard & buffer plantings.
As a result of the meeting, the following changes were made to the rezoning petition: Site
plan was revised to increase the width of the buffer yard and to show the solid fencing.
A preliminary landscape plan exhibit will be prepared to show the proposed numbers of
trees and shrubs that will be agreed upon as a condition of approval.
The “Exit Only” access gate to Sikes Drive was left because of safety & vehicular
Circulation concerns.
