STAFF REPORT
Staff recommends approval with the following waiver:
1. A waiver to the landscaping and screening requirements for the east property line.
Dohn LaBiche has submitted a request for a Specific Use Permit at 3230 French Road. The
Hazel & Floyd Mack Scouting Foundation owns the property and would like to construct a new
storage facility for the Scout Hut. This new 2760 sq. ft. building would house the equipment
for three scouting units.
The use is existing and compatible with surrounding properties. All utilities are in place and
accessible to the project. The scouts recently installed a new fence along the east property line,
and 5' of the required buffer is needed to accommodate the new structure, therefore a waiver has
been requested for the landscaping and screening requirements for the east property line.
Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans
and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes.
Exhibits are attached.
