To the City Council,
We are planning to build approximately twenty-nine boat storage's and twenty-two
RV storage's for travel trailer motor homes or large boats. The boat storage's are going to be
1200. The RV storage's are going to be 15x45. They are metal buildings on concrete slab,
with metal doors on each storage. On the left side of my property is a auto mechanic shop
with junk cars in the back. On my right side is a trucking Co. In the back of the building is
vacant land. In the front of the property are office buildings, which I own. I believe the
construction of these storage's will enhance the look of the property around me.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
R.C,Walker

ANALYSIS continued
This application for warehousing in a GC -MD district is in compliance with seven of the
eight conditions necessary for approval. Comments on Conditions 1, 7 and 8 follow:
1. There are existing commercial and heavy commercial land uses along College east
and west of the subject tract. There is a building contractor operating in the front
of the tract (applicant's primary business). The two warehouses (rental units) will
be compatible in the neighborhood.
7. The applicant has requested that he be relieved of the ordinance requirement that
he construct an 8' tall fence and a 10' wide planted buffer strip, with trees along his
south property line because there is a large, vacant, wooded field behind his lot.
8. The "Activity Corridor" designation of the Comprehensive Plan allows land uses
such as the applicant's, specifically "warehousing operations."
