Mr. David Hardy, M.D. Hardy, Inc., represented the applicant and explained the proposed
Site Development Plan to the Board.
Planner Gould explained that the present site now encompasses three (3) of the original lots
in the Target Industrial Park. Through incremental development on each lot, these lots are now
effectively merged together via interconnecting drives and gravel storage areas. Mr. Gould told the
Board that at the time the Staff Memorandum was written, the Planning and Engineering Offices
had asked the applicant’s site designer to confirm the existing and proposed impervious areas to
ensure that they are consistent with what presently exists on the site, and what is contained in the
various approvals by the City. Staff also requested that revised pre- and post-development
stormwater assumption plans also be submitted. Mr. Gould indicated that new plans have been
submitted that addressed the Staff concerns. Since the revised plans were now in order and
consistent with the Ordinance, the Planning Staff recommended site development plan approval.
Mr. Hanson asked if all of the concerns outlined in the Staff Memorandum had been
addressed. Mr. Gould indicated that they had been addressed with the revised submittals.
Mr. Hanson moved to approve the Site Development Plan as presented. Mr. Masters
seconded the motion. The Board voted 5 to 0 in favor of the motion to approve.
