Chair Shep Harris called the meeting to order at 1:06 p.m. The February 2, 2007 meeting summary was reviewed and upon Lucy’s expressed concern for allowing for excess time of the Brown’s concerns, did not allow for adequate time for the Management Plan, and the need to all be on the same page, the inquiry and confirmation that the February 9, 2007 summary would be provided, Jim Parker noted he reclused himself from the presentation by Don Becker, on the Three Rivers plan, the summary was approved. Mr. Jim Manzer of Ames A/E, Warren Rand, and Randy Rand, Jr. made a presentation of a proposed development by Global Rand, LLC on a 2.8 acre of parcel located at 400 Stillwater Ave., which Jim Parker reclused himself. The project is a multi phase project. The first phase of the project is to grade and fill to stabilize the site in preparation for a three level self-storage building. The project will incorporate an underground stormwater management system and will be accessed on the 50’ frontage on Stillwater Ave. via an existing driveway requiring no further curb cuts. The Commission reviewed and discussed several aspects of the project including impervious area, site layout and impacts, and environmental permitting. George requested an updated copy of the site map, which the Developer agreed to provide. Lucy requested specifics regarding the previous zone change that was not brought before this Commission. Ed noted it fell within the limits of the Comprehensive Plan, a public hearing was held, and provided details of the contract zone change to Commission Members. Ed noted in the future rezoning applications will be shared with the Commission. Hope asked if the Developer would consider “green-roofing”, which would be considered. Lucy raised concern for multi-phase projects, the consensus of some members was the Commission would have more input if it were presented in phases. Randy Rand agreed it would allow more focus on what is expected of them and assured Commission of the Developer’s desire to be “eco-friendly”. The Commission voted unanimously to recommend project, phase one approval. Shep presented and explained the proposed boundary line change in the no fire arms discharge zone and the proposed shot gun only area.
