Commissioner Scanlan asked if there would be additional landscaping in the north lot.
Planner Lovelace stated that there would be no additional landscaping as there is already
existing landscaping.
Commissioner Scanlan asked what the bump-out on the southwest corner was for.
Kelton McCoy with CenterPoint Integrated Solutions stated that this area was for
customer order pickup.
Commissioner Scanlan asked what the outdoor storage along the front of the building
was for.
Mr. McCoy stated that they were lockers where smaller orders would be placed for
customer pickup during COVID. He stated that this program was not in service any
longer and would not be part of the plans.
Commissioner Scanlan asked if there was a rack for propane storage on the south end of
the building and if it was something that should be in the back of the building as it’s for
internal use and not customer use.
Mr. McCoy stated that this could likely be moved to the back towards the loading dock.
Planner Lovelace stated that this could be stated as a condition.
Commissioner Mahowald asked if there would be overnight deliveries as stated in the
memo provided with the staff report as the PD zone allows deliveries only during normal
business hours.
Petitioner Aaron Douglas was present virtually and stated that they have solutions for
offloading trucks during the day. Overnight is typically during the 7:00-11:00 pm range.
Planner Lovelace stated that it would need to be during business hours as the location
faces residential areas.
MOTION: Commissioner Diekmann moved, seconded by Commissioner Scanlan,
to recommend approval of a zoning amendment to PD No. 507/Zone 1 to
include building materials sales as a permitted use. Roll call vote: Ayes – 7
