July 13, 2021 Centerville Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 of 6 Outdoor Storage The Industrial district code is ambiguous on the question of outdoor storage. Trucks and semi- trailers used for the business are not considered outdoor storage unless the use is a conditional use in the Industrial district, which this is. The location and scale of the parking for cabs and trailers on the site plan is reasonable and appropriate for this use in the Industrial district, as well as being reasonably screened with the proposed landscapin warehouse is over 200 ft from Fairview Street and screened by several trees; the cab parking on st Avenue by clusters of balsam fir trees. the east side is screened from 21 Trash Handling Trash handling is presumed to be inside the building as no trash enclosure is shown on the site plan. Hours of Operation The application indicates the hours of operation will be 4:00 am to 10:00 pm, with most activity between 7:00 am and 6:30 pm. These hours are typical for a truck terminal operation. The nearest residential uses are over 500 ft to the south and over 700 ft to the west, with other industrial buildings and uses in between. This kind of activity and hours for trucks loading and unloading is typical for an industrial district and would not be likely to create noise levels that would violate State standards. RECOMMENDATIONS Preliminary Plat I recommend approval of the preliminary plat for Sutton Transport as submitted, with the suggested findings below. The City Engineer has additional comments in a separate memorandum. 1) The City has standards for the subdivision of land and dedication of right-of-way and easements to ensure orderly development. 2) The proposed plat for Sutton Transport complies with City standards and is acceptable.
