Staff Comments
Location-The project is located at 527 Queensbury Avenue nearby to the Warren County Airport property.
Arrangement- The site contains an existing 200X100 sq ft block building. There are areas on the property that
contain material storage. The new building will allow for the outside material to be stored under cover.
Site Design- The applicant also includes the development of outside storage area without approvals. The areas
noted as crushed stone appeared to be installed sometime after 2001. Aerial photos in 2001 show the area to be
undisturbed, then in 2004 additional gravel area appears at the west side of the building, an additional area
shows up in the 2008 aerial. The applicant has indicated the area of outdoor storage for materials is less than an
acre. There is no new landscaping or lighting proposed the site will remain as is.
Building—The pole barn would be 20,000 sq ft with three sides enclosed and one side at 200 ft would be open
to allow for a racking and storage of materials. The building is to be located over an existing gravel area and no
new gravel areas are proposed. The building will accommodate some of the existing outdoor material storage.
The applicant has indicated that the materials stored outside are impacted by the weather and difficult to access
at times.
Elevations and Floor plans- the elevations area provided and the interior will have a portion of racking for
material storage
