N/A for discussion
Project Description
Applicant proposes an 8,000 sq. ft. pole:barn enclosed building (8,0" x 100')and exterior storage for a contractor
yard. Project includes new access drive from Lu zerne Road. Project disturbs,greater than an acre. Pursuant to
Chapter 179-3-040 of the Zoning Ordinance, contractor's storage yards shall be subject to Planning Board
review and approval.
bite PlanI Variance items
The project for a contractor yard and new, cold storage building,on the rear lot of the three lot subdivision
(Subdivision 4-2012) will trigger a site plan,modification for the Luzerne Road Storage—West Dr. Addition SP
(PZ 93-2016 4800 sf cold storage). The:site plan for the cold, storage building provided a proposed right of way
but was not identified as part of the project ie., disturbance sq ft, storrawater. In addition, a site plan
modification will also be necessary for SP 5-2012 Construction/contractor yard as the right of way is proposed
as a main access and extends onto other parcels,
There is also a possibility of an area variance for physical road ftontage as,the West Dr., road, appears to end
prior to Howard's,new lot-the drawing shows a,n ending. Confirmation of the road end will be needed.
