Dear Jim:
I am writing to inform you of my revised determination
regarding your site plan review application that is currently
scheduled for review by the Planning Board at tonight ' s meeting.
The application was for placement of plastic covered
greenhouses on your property on Farm-to-Market Road and Walkup
Lane . I have reviewed an amendment entitled State Uniform Fire
Prevention and Building Code - Temporary Greenhouses - Exemption.
This amendment was enacted and took effect on July 17, 1992 . The
law defines temporary greenhouses -as equipment, therefore,
temporary greenhouses are- not subject to local regulations .
As a result, it is my determination that placement of
greenhouses on this site does not require site plan review and your
application is withdrawn from the agenda. Furthermore,
installation of the greenhouses does not require a building permit.
If you have any further questions regarding this matter please
do not hesitate to call .
S cerely,
ames M. Martin

Applicant' s Number: Site Plan No. 51-92
Applicant' s Name: James Weller
Meeting Date: November 24, 1992
*****X*X**X****X*******XXXXX*X*kX*kk****X**XXXX*X*Xkk*k*k***XXXX*
Project Description: The project involves site plan approval
for an as built site plan for three commercial greenhouses . The
greenhouses are on property located at Walkup Cutoff Road and Bay
Road. The property is in two different zoning districts. The
front part of the property, which is at the corner of Bay and
Walkup Cutoff, is about two acres in size and zoned HC-lA; the rear
of the property, which is the remaining nine acres, is zoned RR-3A.
The greenhouses are located on the part of the property which is
zoned RR-3A. The applicant states that the greenhouses are
seasonal and are to be 50' x 14' or 700 sq. ft. in size. They
consist of plastic sheets attached to aluminum poles . The poles
will be placed directly on a wood foundation. The wood base will
enclose a gravel floor inside the greenhouse. The gravel will be
placed directly on the ground.
Project Analysis: The project was compared to the following
standards found in Section 179-38 E of the Zoning Code:
1 . The location, arrangement, size, design and general site
compatibility of buildings, lighting and signs;
The site has a rural commercial character to it. The
greenhouses are set back from the main buildings and parking area
and do not have an impact on the overall character of the site.
2 . The adequacy and arrangement of vehicular traffic access
and circulation, including intersections, road widths, pavement
surfaces, dividers and traffic controls;
The greenhouses will not impact vehicular access or
circulation.
3 . The location, arrangement, appearance and sufficiency of
off-street parking and loading;
The greenhouses will not impact existing parking nor will they
create a need for additional parking.
4. The adequacy and arrangement of pedestrian traffic access
and circulation, walkway structures, control of intersections with
vehicular traffic and overall pedestrian convenience;
The greenhouses will not impact pedestrian access on the site.
5. The adequacy of stormwater drainage facilities;
The greenhouses are set back from the main structures so they
will not impact drainage near the paved areas. The area around the
greenhouses are grass and will be able to handle any runoff from
the surface of the greenhouses .
6. The adequacy of water supply and sewage disposal
facilities;
The greenhouses will not create any demand on the water supply
or sewer service themselves . There will be a slight increase in
water use in order to maintain the plants which are growing in the
greenhouses. The existing water supply should be adequate to
handle this possible slight increase.
7 . The adequacy, type and arrangement of trees, shrubs and
other suitable plantings, landscaping and screening constituting a
visual and/or noise buffer between the applicant' s and adjoining
lands, including the maximum retention of existing vegetation and
maintenance including replacement of dead plants;
The greenhouses are small and should not require any
additional screening or landscaping. No existing vegetation is
being removed.
8. The adequacy of fire lanes and other emergency zones and
the provision of fire hydrants;
The greenhouses will not impact fire lanes or any other
emergency zones . They will not create a need for any new fire
hydrants .
9. The adequacy and impact of structures, roadways and
landscaping in areas with susceptibility to ponding, flooding
and/or erosion;
The greenhouses are not in an area that is susceptible to
flooding, ponding or erosion.
Recommendation: The greenhouses should not have any negative
impact on the site and the Planning Staff recommends approval of
this project.
