A
A
D
A
E
E
Foreign,
the
properties
to
the
north
are
outside
the
city's
jurisdiction
gosh.
Why
is
this?
Okay?
There
we
go
okay,
so
currently
the
property
contains
the
Coca-Cola
distribution
center,
a
one-story
metal
and
brick
building
with
an
area
of
59,
275
square
feet
and
46
parking
spaces,
the
petitioner
will
need
to
seek
a
major
site
plan
approval
for
this
change
in
use,
because
the
development
is
located
within
500
feet
of
the
center
line
of
I-69.
E
E
The
maximum
vehicle
parking
requirement
for
a
self-service
storage
use
is
2.85
spaces
per
thousand
square
feet
of
gross
floor
area
of
indoor
sales
leasing
or
office
space.
The
proposed
self-service
storage
facility
has
695
square
feet
of
office
and
leasing
space,
so
this
development
has
a
vehicle
parking
allowance
of
one
parking
space.
E
The
site
currently
has
46
parking
spaces
on
or
sorry
and
the
petitioner
is
proposing
to
remove
35
parking
spaces.
So
all
of
the
parking
spaces
in
the
front
of
the
building
will
be
removed
to
meet
the
front
parking
setback
and
then
14
of
the
parking
spaces
near
the
Eastern
property
line
will
also
be
removed.
E
E
So
the
first
piece
of
criteria
for
the
ground
floor
variants
the
proposed
finding
is
that
the
granting
of
the
variance
to
allow
for
a
ground
floor
ceiling
height
of
9
feet,
4
inches,
is
not
expected
to
be
injurious
to
the
public
health
safety,
morals
or
general
welfare
of
the
community.
The
ground
floor
ceiling
height
standard
was
intended
for
commercial
uses.
The
self-service
storage
use
is
considered
an
employment
use.
E
The
second
proposed
finding
is
adverse
impacts
to
the
use
and
value
of
surrounding
properties
is
not
found
as
a
result
of
the
variance
to
allow
for
a
ground
floor
ceiling
height
of
9
feet,
4
inches.
This
will
be
an
interior
addition
of
a
second
level
that
will
not
impact
the
exterior
of
the
building
and
there
are
no
proposed
changes
to
the
exterior
of
the
property.
Besides
bringing
the
site
closer
to
compliance
with
current
standards,
that
would
improve
the
site's
landscaping
and
pervious
surface
coverage.
E
And
the
last
piece
of
criteria
for
the
first
variance
the
proposed
finding
is
that
practical
difficulty
is
found
in
the
use
of
the
property
if
this
variance
is
not
granted
because
the
yeast
specific
standards
for
self-service
storage
requires
that
all
storage
is
contained
within
a
fully
enclosed
structure.
That
is
at
least
two
stories
this.
This
project
is
attempting
to
reuse
and
remodel
an
existing
building
that
has
an
existing
height
to
work
with
them.
E
So
adding
a
second
level
that
creates
a
ground
floor
ceiling
height
of
nine
feet.
Four
inches
will
allow
the
existing
sorry
the
existing
building
to
be
remodeled
such
that
this
use
can
go
in
there
for
the
second
variance
for
the
parking
maximum.
The
first
proposed
finding
is
that
the
granting
of
the
variants
to
allow
11
parking
spaces
is
not
expected
to
be
injurious
to
the
public,
health,
safety,
morals
or
general
welfare
of
the
community.
E
The
second
proposed
finding
is
that
the
granting
of
the
variants
to
allow
11
parking
spaces
would
not
affect
the
use
and
value
of
adjacent
properties
in
an
adverse
manner,
because
the
number
of
proposed
vehicle
parking
spaces
is
less
than
what
is
existing,
and
the
proposal
also
removes
the
involves.
Removal
of
excess
impervious
surface
coverage,
and
the
last
proposed
finding
is
that
the
department
does
find
that
the
strict
application
of
the
terms
of
the
Udo
will
result
in
Practical
difficulties
in
the
use
of
the
property
by
requiring
the
petitioner
to
meet
the
maximum
parking
spaces
allowed.
E
E
So
the
issuance
of
the
variance
relieves
the
Practical
difficulty
of
operating
those
permitted
use
in
this
existing
building.
So.
Based
upon
the
report
and
written
findings
of
fact
above
the
department
recommends
that
the
board
of
zoning
appeals
adopts
the
proposed
findings
and
approve
both
requested
variances
for
v-17-23
with
the
following
conditions.
One,
the
variance
for
ceiling
height,
is
for
at
a
minimum.
The
heights
shown
in
the
plan
submitted
with
the
variance
request
and
two,
the
variance
for
parking
spaces,
is
approved
for
a
total
of
11
parking
spaces,
including
one
accessible
parking
space.
A
A
D
Again,
my
name
is
Mike
Carmen
attorney
representing
the
petitioner
applicant,
true
storage,
Andy
knust
is
with
the
bloodco
blood,
show
Bledsoe,
rigor,
Cooper
and
James
is
an
engineer.
He's
been
heavily
involved
in
the
interior
design
issue,
the
ceiling
Heights
along
with
feathers
in
his
office
and
a
lot
of
the
site
plan.
Issues
on
zoom
and
I'll
be
deferring
to
him
in
a
few
moments.
To
for
some
comments
also
is
representative,
true
story
to
Josh
Sullivan.
In
that
he
should
be.
You
see,
Monsoon,
okay,
we'll
get
to
him.
D
Just
a
couple
minutes
then
just
a
couple
comments.
You
know,
typically
in
a
variance
like
this,
would
look
at
other
conditions
of
approval
more
than
what
the
the
staff
is
listed
and
those
things
I
would
expect
you
might
be
concerned
about,
or
would
like
to
see
his
condition
approvals.
Our
home
site
plan
issues,
the
Green
Space,
getting
rid
of
the
excess
Paving
and
getting
rid
of
excess
parking.
Actually
there's
some
issues
about
the
driveway
access
off
of
Liberty
Drive.
D
All
those
issues
I'm
not
offering
those
as
condition
approval,
because
all
those
issues
are
actually
being
dealt
with
will
be
dealt
with
with
the
plan
Commission,
because
that
will
be
the
site
plan.
Approval,
that's
required
and
Andy's
been
heavily
involved
in
in
all
those
things,
and
it
is
taking
off
a
lot
of
existing
Paving.
If
you
remember
the
old
Coke
building
used
to
that,
and
they
had
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
outside
exterior
parking,
and
this
use
doesn't
need
that
much,
but
it
needs
more
than
one.
D
You
know
my
first
thought:
well,
storage
units
are
rented,
that's
leasing,
that's
not
the
leasing,
that's
intended
by
the
order,
so
it
none
of
that
area,
counts
and,
and
these
storage
self
storage
units
more
and
more,
are
so
they're
electronic
now
I
mean
access
code
codes
and
fobs,
and
you
don't
have
on-site
Personnel
when
I
say
managers
there,
we
don't
need
a
lot
of
office
space.
It's
it's
more
the
unit
so
there,
but
there
is
a
need
for
parking
and
the
comment.
The
staff
report
about
no
spillover
parking
type
is
is
the
problem.
D
We
can't
invest
in
the
remodel
the
building
and
that
and
and
doing
what
he's
been
doing,
without
being
able
to
get
a
return
on
that
the
return
means
our
customers,
our
renters,
need
to
be
able
to
access
the
property.
There
is
no
place
to
go.
There's
no
parking
garage.
There's
no
street
parking,
there's
no
opportunity
for
spillover
parking.
We
have
to
be
able
to
develop
with,
unfortunately,
the
occasional,
but
yet
Peak
parking
time
of
when
multiple
people
there
at
the
same
time,
and
we
can't
we
don't-
have
the
means
to
spread
them
out.
D
So
you
can
only
come
between
eight
nine
in
the
morning
near
between
nine
and
ten
they're
going
to
come
when
they
come
when
they're
and
and
and
so
the
Studies
have
shown
on
other
facilities-
that
there
are
those
times
when,
when
the
traffic
that
is
expected
to
generate
should
anticipate
that
a
certain
number
will
be
there
at
the
same
time
or
within
an
hour
of
that
meaning
the
same
time.
None
of
the
needed
parking
is
storage
parking.
This
not
overnight
parking.
D
It's
there
short
time
to
put
things
in
or
remove
things
from
the
storage
and
depart,
but
we
need
to
have
enough
spaces
to
allow
that
possibility.
That
will
occur
from
time
to
time
of
multiple
renters
uses
of
the
storage
space
being
out
there
at
the
same
time,
and
that's
the
request
for
the
the
10
parking
spaces,
the
the
one
I
I,
don't
know
how
you
could
do
any
facility
like
this
on
one
parking
space,
it's
a
and
that's
the
problem
with
trying
to
do
an
order.
D
Does
that
mean
that's
issue
needs
to
be
examined
another
day
like
I
know,
you've
done
you've
encouraged
that
on
some
other
parking
issues,
restaurants
and
things
so
this
perhaps
this
is
one
of
those
too,
but
so
the
the
need
for
the
parking
is
exactly
that
we're
trying
to
make
use
of
existing
building
renovated
model.
It
I
think
it's
a
good
thing
to
do.
True
stories
actually
has
experience
in
doing
this.
A
F
F
We
were
able
to
put
a
second
level
on
there
and
each
each
floor
is
about
nine
feet
as
well
as
in
Syracuse
New
York,
we're
finishing
up
a
project
right
now
doing
doing
the
exact
same
thing.
So
each
marketing
facility
is
different,
but
we
do
a
pretty
in-depth
analysis
on.
You
know
how
much
pent-up
demand
there
is
for
self
storage,
and
you
know
how
much
net
rentable
square
feet
we
need
to
to.
You
know
satisfy
that
that
demand.
F
So
you
know
in
our
analysis
from
from
this
facility,
and
you
know,
given
the
constraints
of
the
property
itself,
you
know
we,
but
we
needed
to
add
that
second
level
in
order
to
create
a
feasible
facility
again
that
we've
done
many
times,
and
you
know
we're
confident
that
it
won't
pose
any
issues
and
the
parking
very
straightforward.
We
just
want
to
have
adequate
parking
for
for
our
customers.
F
F
You
know
exactly
how
many
people
are
in
and
out
of
our
facilities
and
when
looking
at
our
existing
facilities
that
have
been
open
and
operational
of
similar
size,
you
know
that's
that's
the
amount
of
parking
that
that
will
require
again
at
the
highest
peak
time,
but
we
would
like
to
be
prepared
for
that
so
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
If
there
are,
you
know
any
from
the
operations,
but
you
know
looking
forward
to
moving
forward
and
you
know
adding
a
facility
in
Bloomington.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
D
A
A
G
Can
get
the
discussion
started
by
making
a
motion
for
the
approval
of
v-17-23
with
following
conditions
slightly
worded
slightly
different?
The
variance
for
ceiling
Heights
is
for
at
a
minimum.
The
height
shown
in
the
plans
submitted
with
the
variance
request
and
two,
the
variance
for
parking
spaces
is
approved
for
a
total
of
11
parking
spaces,
one
of
which
shall
be
an
accessible
parking
space.
