Public Hearing- 4100 Van Chair Snyder opened the public hearing at 7 :02 PM de Populier- Kelly -Hill Company- Outdoor Jackie Carlson with SKW gave a staff report to the Commission for a Storage request for a special use permit for outdoor storage. The applicant, Kelly -Hill Company, has applied for a Special Use Permit pursuant to Chapter 400.580 of the Riverside Municipal Code. This request is for outdoor storage associated with a railroad construction and maintenance company. The property is approximately 3.12 acres and has three buildings on it; one office building measuring approximately 4,156 square feet and two metal maintenance /storage buildings, one is approximately 9,000 square feet and the other is approximately 3,600 square feet. The outdoor storage will consist of ballast regulators, tie inserters, trucks and other large equipment associated with the operation of this business. The amount of equipment on site varies, less in the spring, summer and fall. Due to the weather, there will be more stored in the winter. Staff recommends approval of the Special Use Permit to allow outdoor storage with the following conditions: • The applicant work with staff to develop an appropriate screening plan that minimize the visual impact of the outdoor storage. • The applicant submit a site plan indicating the location of the outdoor storage. • The applicant shall pave the areas that will be used for storage. Commissioner Snoderley asked if the applicant planed to store equipment to the max height of 45 feet and how they planned to screen that. Greg Wright with Kelly -Hill Company replied that nothing will be stacked over 15 feet and the tallest piece of equipment they have is only 11 feet. He added that they have been in operation in Northmore for over 22 years and are just looking for more space. BNSF is one of their customers and moving to this location in Riverside would bring them closer to the tracks. Chair Snyder asked for some clarification on what some of the equipment was. Commissioner King asked if the applicant planed to do any maintenance at the location. Wright replied that they will be doing some maintenance on their equipment, but plan to put doors on one of the buildings so it would not be visible from the road. Commissioner Poe asked about getting a sight plan for how the equipment will be stored on the property. Carlson said that they City would like to have it prior to the Board of Aldermen meeting. Wright commented that he would be able to accommodate all of the City's conditions, but would like to meet with staff to discuss the hard surface because some of their equipment is tracked and they will be putting a track through a portion of the property in order to store some of the equipment. Chair Snyder closed the public hearing at 7:20 PM. Commissioner Homer moved to recommend approval of the special use permit for outdoor storage to the Board of Aldermen. Commissioner Bowman seconded and the motion passed 9 -0 Master Plan Approval Chair Snyder opened the Public Hearing for adoption of the Master Plan Update at 7:23 PM Stephen Hardy with BNIM gave a brief overview of the Master Plan Update.
