STAFF COMMENTS:
The applicant proposes to construct a 1,656 sq. ft. cold storage building for product storage associated with the
Martha's Ice cream operation. The building is to be located near the south side boundary line on an existing
gravel area and within this area the parking will be altered to accommodate the building. In addition, a row of
trees is to be removed and new plantings are to be installed. Three new light poles are to be installed along the
southern property line and to have down cast lighting. The building stormwater is to be handled with eave
trenches where the building will be accessible through a garage door for deliveries and a side door for
employees to access products. The applicant has indicated deliveries will not occur during operating times so
pedestrian and vehicle traffic will not be in conflict. The plans show the location of the new building with the
existing and proposed site conditions. The applicant has requested waivers from stormwater, grading, lighting,
and landscaping.

SUMMARY
