Planning Consultant Mr. Jim LaRue reviewed the staff report and is recommending approval based
on the following criteria: Since the building is within a CL T Zoning District, it needs to be approved
by the Board of Adjustment as a Special Exception use. This would determine whether the shed is
compatible with the neighborhood. Should the applicant receive approval of the Special Exception,
(1) It should be determined whether or not separate parking should be allocated for the storage
facility. (2) The applicant should submit a drawing of the shed, which demonstrates that the height
will not be exceeded.

City Engineer Bermudez noted for the record, the intended use of the shed constitutes a Special
Exception within a CLT Zoning District in which the requirements will have to be in compliance
accordingly.
Mr. Ted Kelchner responded to the use for the storage question, stating it is to be used only for
materials and supplies so there is no need for electrical and plumbing. Building Official Forbes
advised that electrical will still be required since it is a commercial building. There will have to be
interior exit lights, an exterior light, and handicap accessibility.
Mr. Kelchner asked whether or not the parking issue will still be necessary should the storage shed
be a portable building on blocks? Mr. LaRue answered that it would still be treated as the same
whether it is a portable or permanent building since it will be a fixture on the property.
Engineer Bermudez motioned to recommend that the application submitted by Ted Kelchner on
behalf of K-Builders, to construct a metal storage building in a single phase on subject property
located at 1306 Southwest 2nd A venue be forwarded to the Board of Adjustment for consideration
of a Special Exception and compliance of regulations; seconded by Public Works Director
Robertson.

Recommendation:
Since the building is within the CL T Zoning District, it needs to be approved by the
Board of Adjustment as a Special Exception use. This would determine whether the
shed is compatible with the neighborhood.
If the applicant receives approval of the Special Exception, Staff would recommend
approval of the site plan review with the following conditions:
1. It should be determined whether or not separate parking should be allocated
for the storage facility. It is asswned that the shed is for internal use only, not
for a separate commercial/storage use which would require separate parking.
2. The applicant should submitt a drawing of the shed, which demonstrates that
the height will not be exceeded.

Re: Rezoning of property located at 309 NE 6th AVE
To Whom It May Concern:
We have no objections to the rezoning of this property for light commercial use.
There are already several properties used commercially in the area and we do not feel that
this change would adversely affect the area in any way. The remodeling work that Mr.
Brandel has done to the structure on the property has already greatly improved the
appearance of the neighborhood.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern,
This is to tell you that I have no objection to the property immediately north of
me at 309 NE 6th Avenue being re-zoned for a professional office. This property which
was once an eyesore is now an asset to the neighborhood.
If you have any questions, you may feel free to contact me.
