Storage Trailers - Public Hearing Williams stated that application is for approval of a Special Review Use to allow outside storage on Lot 24, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek. Approval was given by the Commission in August, 1984 for this lot to be used as temporary storage for materials taken from the Chambertin project. The lot has been cleaned and regraded, including a berm along the drainage easement on the west. The owner now intends to use the lot, with Special Review Use approval, as storage of construction trailers on a temporary basis. Outside storage areas of this kind are permitted in the IC zone when approved as a Special Review Use. Gerry Gelsinger, representative of applicant Hess Electric, was present for discussion. Blair then opened the public hearing. Tom Backhus, representative of Philip Barshop, owner of Lot 33, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek, stated that Barshop had concerns of this approval. The letter submitted to the Commission on April 10, 1986 from Barshop states, in part, 'Temporary storage would create visual pollution unless there was appropriate screening.' Terry Harris, owner of Lot 24, Block 1, stated that they are requesting temporary use of the lot to store construction trailers. He explained that these trailers are on Lot 24 because construction is slow and the trailers are not on a job site. He stated the trailers would be moved on and off the lot periodically. Harris stated he was requesting the use for 1 year, and the suture intention is to build on this lot. He explained that the lot has been graded and would be seeded and made to look presentable. He stated he would prefer not to build a screening fence since the trailers are 13 1/2 feet high and a 6 foot fence would not hide the trailers or do anything for the property. Blair then closed the public hearing. Harris stated that there are only 4 trailers on Lot 24. He would agree to fence the lot if required, but did not feel that it would make the lot visually presentable because of the height of the trailers. Blair then reviewed Staff Comments with Commission. Dingwell pointed out that the normal flow of traffic does not drive past this lot. The screening is more to protect the vision of the lot from the highway, which is higher than the lot. Cuny did not feel that Barshop's lot would be affected by the trailer storage on Lot 24. Blair then reviewed Special Review Use guidelines with Commission and discussion followed. Harris presented photos of the site for Commission review. Dingwell recommended approval of the Special Review Use as requested with condition that lot be revegetated and that temporary use is for 1 year. Donaldson seconded.

Dingwell amended motion to include that trailers be parked beyond the 25 foot setback of Nottingham Road, and that a maximum of 4 trailers, owned by Hess Electric, are allowed on the lot. Donaldson amended second. Passed unanimously. Informal Discussion (Proposed Development Plan) Selby Portion of Selby/White Annexation Wood stated that this is an informal discussion, with no formal application, regarding propL.aed development of the Selby portion of the Selby/White annexation. Buff Arnold, representative of Jeff Selby of Selby and Associates stated that this presentation was to get a reaction from the Commission on the proposed development. Arnold presented rough drawings for Commission review. Arnold stated that parcel is about 300 feet deep and 1/4 mile long. The total site area is 5.78 acres, and developable area is 2.2 acres. 1/3 of the developable land is in a strip that is in the eastern portion down by the Eagle River, which is not even proposed for development. The proposed use is a neighborhood commercial center. Uses are convenience shopping, professional and service businesses, a small amount of office space, and small restaurant to seat 50-60 people. Total building area is approximately 11,000 square feet. 6,200 square feet is proposed for the main level and 5,100 square feet on the lower level. 36-38 surface parking spaces are proposed, along with streamside uses. Arnold explained that the parcel does have quite a bit of grade change, but the upper portion of the lot is fairly level. There are mature evergreens along the river ranging in size from 50-100 feet high, which will remain on the site. The intention is to develop the property so that the buil Jing fits the site. Arnold went on to explain proposal from plans, with regard to Master Plan, highlighting river front usage, i.e. bike path and pedestrian way. Arnold stated that the building really sits up higher than the natural grade. There is a 6% grade into the property, which will mostly be fill, to access the highway. The building will be kept on the top of the bank, and the intention is to minimize site disturbance. Discussion followed on proposed development. Arnold felt that most appropriate zoning for property would be NC (Neighborhood Commercial), rather than SPA. Lamont felt this was one of the best projects that has come through as far as site sensitivity.
