the building will be removed.This location was picked because it is in a low area,out of the
• wind and generally screened from adjacent properties by existing vegetation.
Addition to Existing Storage Building
The applicant is proposing to construct a 100'X 60' (6,000 sf.) addition to the existing
storage building. The existing building is used to process and package peat and for the
storage of vehicles.The applicant has found that they need additional area for storage and
loading the packaged material on to trucks.The proposed addition is planned to meet those
needs.The addition is designed as a lean-to that will be enclosed completely on three sides
and partially enclosed on the fourth.The Building Official does not have any outstanding
issues regarding the peat processing nor has he received any complaints about the operation.
Some minor grading will be needed to prepare the building site.
New Building
The proposed new building will be 120'X 60'(7,200 sf.). It will be located about 200 feet
north of the existing building.The building will also be considered"temporary"because of
the long range plans to mine the area. The 7,200 square foot building will be a metal pole
building similar to the existing building.The new building will include restrooms and an on-
site septic system.This building will be used by the applicant to manufacture concrete septic
tanks. A portable concrete mixer will be brought to the site,concrete will be poured into
molds and the molds will be left to cure.The tanks will then be shipped off site.Some minor
grading will be necessary to prepare the site.Two current employees will be working at this
III
site. Parking will be provided in the current employee parking lot.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request for an
amendment to a conditional use permit to allow construction of an addition to an existing
storage building and the construction of a second storage building to be used to manufacture
septic tanks.
