Zoning File 933 Conditional Use Permit Ned Butterfield 3745 Watertown Road Page 2 of 2 The lot size is 4.6 acres in the 5-acre zone. The proposed set- backs, according to the applicant, are about 25' or the same as the existing greenhouses. Do you feel that the side setbacks should be 501, as they are for a principal structure in the RR -IA district, or should they be 10', treating the greenhouse as an accessory structure? Also, note that the new greenhouse must be set back a minimum of 20' from the other greenhouses (fire code) or at least 10' if a 1-hour fire wall is provided. The applicant sees no problem in locating the greenhouse to meet these setbacks. Do you have any thoughts on screening of this property? Do you feel scz !ening is necessary? Note that Subdivision 10.20 (E) states that cc,,tmercial greenrouses may be allowed as a conditional use "provided ; hat) all outside storage is fenced in such a manner so as to screen the stored material from view when observed from the public street or adjoining lot". Exhibit H shows the general location of th, s -tic systems serving the property as far as we know. There appe _o be a tank and drainfield ser-ing the greenhouses, which system aepears locatp-I within the confines of the building. The drainfield location is unknown, and we don't have a good idea as to the level of use of this system, but applicant notes it does not get heavy usage. At any rate, there would appear to be suitable areas of Lester loam soils further south on the ^-op(;ty if this system needs replacement at some future date. Plannin fission unanimously recommended approval of this application,f g: 1. That L proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of the Zoning Chapter and the purposes of the district in which the site is located and Comprehensive Municipal Plan; 2. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the proposed condition under which it would r- operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public hei_ith, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and, 3. That the prop ,ed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the Zoning Chapter. Planning Commission felt that the same setbacks as the existing greenhouses are appropriate, as long as building and fire code standards are met. A resolution reflecting the Planning Commission recommendation is attached.
