Gates Mini-Storage on Fleet Street – The board reviewed the request for the special exception use.  Chuck Ingram (engineer for Cotton Gates Mini-Storage project) asked for approval for a 13,000 square foot mini-warehouse storage facility with 20 feet of vegetation with an 8-foot privacy fence on the residential side.  Residents near the proposed property were concerned about the value of their property decreasing from the proposal.  Mr. Gates outlined guidelines of the property to include: fencing, landscaping, and hours of operation for the property.  Residents were pleased with the new guidelines.  Sandra Dove-McLain moved that the Planning and Zoning Board submit this to the town commission with the recommendation accepting the special exception use plans with the proposed changes: moving the fence from the edge of the property back to 5 feet from the building, 15 feet of greenery from the new fence line to the property line, maintaining normal office hours on the property (no after hours activity), require a variance for the 15 foot setback for the side of the property that is against another commercial property, have the gate set back from the road at least 25 feet, and to have an acceptable drainage and landscaping plans.  Glenn Wagner seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
