Nick,
The following are my comments on the Sta? Report and comments on the Commission’s recommendations:
III. Sta? Analysis –
Section C.2. You note the requirement of a short plat for the individual storage units. It has always been our intent
to do a short plat for BOTH the condo units and the commercial units. It is not clear if that is your understanding so
I wanted to mention this.
Section D.2.iii. Note that field verification of the existing fence on the north and east perimeter show that it is a 5-
foot tall fence.
Section E.2 Note that we do not own property to the east and cannot extend any pathway across that property
without approval of neighbor. Sidewalk on the west side does not extend to our property but there is a sidewalk
easement across the Kelly Creek HOA property or we can use ACHD ROW to extend the pathway over to existing
sidewalk.
Section F.2 Just for clarification, the PI services are not required to lots created through the condo plat, correct?
Since there is no purpose for irrigation water within the condo property.
IV. City/Agency Comments & Conditions
Section A.1.g. It is our intention to condo the commercial spaces so they are separately saleable, too. Please let
me know if this is an issue.
Section A.1.h. We will be requesting an alternate option to this requirement. Per our prior conversations, we
would like to propose installing su?iciently dense landscaping and more mature landscaping (based upon
availability) to create a su?icient bu?er so that the berm and barrier are not required. A berm with a barrier will
create issues with drainage, tree placement, and irrigation system maintenance where located between the
property line fence and the proposed buildings. We would appreciate sta?’s support with the alternate proposal
and will work with sta? to prepare a landscape plan that creates a satisfactory barrier.
Conditional Use Permit
Item 2 – We will be requesting that a 6-foot tall fence be required (instead of the 8-foot fence) since the facility will
be an upscale storage facility. We can do the 8-foot fence but it does not seem necessary for this facility,
especially if we are creating a good landscape bu?er such that the fence won’t be that visible.
Item 3 – Is this condition referring to the storage unit wall along McMillan Road? It is not clear.
Overall, our biggest concern is the requirement for the berm and barrier between the property line fence and the
buildings. We appreciate your help in finding an alternative that will, hopefully, be acceptable to City Council
members.
