STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request subject to
the following condition:
1. The disabled parking spaces will require signs and access
aisles. (Transportation)
Allen Gusten, representing Mad, Ltd., has applied for a specific
use permit to allow the fabricating of steel components and
modules. The property is located at 1195 Gulf Street.
Mr. Gusten states that the steel items that will be fabricated
will be used by the offshore oil and gas industry and include
piping assemblies, stairways, tanks, vents, platforms and other
structures. These items will be fabricated from plate, pipe
and structural steel shapes. The manufacturing process will
be conducted primarily in the existing building with an
occasional need to assemble large components in the area
adjacent to the building prior to their shipment. Materials
for these projects will be stored in the existing building.
Surface preparation and coating will not occur at this location.
Manual and machine welding and cutting of material will be
involved in the fabrication process.
Mr. Gusten states that the subject property was originally used
by Harding and Lawler as a steel fabrication facility for over
thirty years. In October, 2003, the property was purchased
and occupied by North Shore Supply Company as a steel storage
facility.
Exhibits are attached.
