Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

plan. So, um, they presented their answers there on the page that I'm sure everyone had a chance to read. And so, for the conclusion, um, upon reviewing the same criteria um that the planning commission must review, planning staff recommends approval for the proposed use as a boarding home for sheltered care. It should be noted that although the proposed driveway width exceeds the maximum width, it complies with the maximum percentage allowed in the front yard. Uh if allowed, the expanded parking area will reduce impact on the street parking in the neighborhood without significantly impacting the curb appeal of the property. And I have a possible motion up there. And that concludes the presentation.

Okay. Does anyone have any questions for our director? I have one. All right. Go ahead. Back to the parking error. What you mean by 23% uh does it meet the requirements? Looking at it, the proposal does on the percentage. Yes. But it won't affect the uh the ordinance of the uh adding that extra spot. Uh, no. It it'll um it it meets the requirements on the percentage and it'll um be angled out to the front of the house. And this is a condition of use, right? Yes, it is

for one year. Uh, yes. And that that's what they're recommending. That proposal can be whatever the planning commission recommends to the board. Um, but that's what we are proposing just so the city has a way to bring it back to us every year just to make sure if there's anything that goes wrong on site, if there's anything that needs to be amended, we get a chance to re-review it. That's all I have. Any other questions for the Right. Do we have the applicants here? If you just come up and state your name and address for us,

your your address. Okay. Does anybody have any questions for our applicant? My question is is how how many how many um people are you planning on uh boarding in in the facility? Okay.

Who going to be monitor these uh who going to mon the facility that you have in the contract?

I Uh, have you spoke with the neighbors next door? Let them know what kind of situation they going to be having at that home.

Any other questions? All right. I appreciate it. Thank you. Um, at this time we're going to open it up for public comment. All right, we're going to shut down uh shut off the public comment. All right, does any of the commissioners have any other questions? All right, do we have a motion?

I'll make the motion. I go ahead. After review of case number 2025146, the planning commission recommends approval of a conditional use permit for a boarding home for sheltered care at 6735 Camelot Road in the R8 zone for a period of one year. All right, we have a motion. Do we have a second? Question. We need to add one year. It's already It's already there. Second. Okay, we have a motion in a second. All right, any other discussion? Roll call, please.

Kirby, nothing yet. Mark Crawford, yes. Kea Fox, yes. Calvin Freeman, yes. Maurice Taylor, yes. Janice Fidel, yes. Stan Carol,

yes. That motion passes. Thank y'all. All right, on to our next uh case. Case number 2025-147. It's a resoning of parcel number 108 932 0000003603 from AR to PUD to allow for storage facility. And once again, I will turn this over to our director.

Thank you. Um, this case is a request for the reszoning of the parcel along the east side of Highway 301 and south of the homes on Caroline Drive from the zoning of AR to PUB to allow for the development of a storage facility. The zoning use chart does not specifically list storage facilities as a land use. So it appeared to make the most sense to have a custom zoning to specifically allow for this use. Um and so I got the aerial view of the property up on the screen. And then the next image is the zoning of it. The property is currently zoned AR in its entirety. The surrounding properties to the west, north, and south are all AR as well. The properties to the east have PUD zoning with the majority being appro approximately quarter acre residential lots for single family homes with some town homes as well. Um so for the review criteria on these kinds of cases um an applicant an applicant for amendment of the official zoning map shall have the responsibility to demonstrate the appropriateness of the change based on the following criteria. How the proposed amendment would conform to the comprehensive plan and its related elements. Um why the existing zone district classification of the property in question is inappropriate or improper. What major economic, physical, or social changes, if any, have occurred, in the vicinity of the property in question that were not anticipated by the comprehensive plan and have substantially altered the basic character of the area, which make the proposed amendment to the zoning map appropriate and demonstrate the public need for the proposed zone district amendment. So, those are the criteria. Um the applicant responded to each of them. Um

and I believe everyone has had the chance to review those criteria um responses by the applicant. Um I have the future land use map of the comprehensive plan posted up there. And for the planning staff comments, uh we have that the future land use map of the current comprehensive plan shows that this parcel should be medium density residential and not commercial. Uh the applicant is requesting to change this zoning from residential to a PUD that would be commercial in nature. The current sentiment of the planning department is that this future land use map adopted in 2003 has become outdated and inadequate to serve the needs of 2025 for multiple reasons. The current shift in city planning practices around the nation is to allow for more clusters of commercial areas within cities as this has been proven to be better for traffic congestion and overall access to businesses. The 2003 future land use map does not allow for enough commercial clusters around the city. So we do feel there is a need to change the zoning of many lots that were planned to be residential. As far as specific business type, the planning commission and board of alderman will ultimately have to consider if the public need for storage is great enough to replace the residential zoning designation. Um and then we have the possible motion there and that concludes the presentation.

All right. Thank you. All right. Do we have any questions for uh for our director?

Is the applicant here again? Just state your name and address for us, please. Name is Andy Richardson with RH Engineering. uh 231 West Center Street and I'm representing the applicant. All right. Does anybody have any questions for the applicant?

Where's his representative? No questions. Okay. Thank you. All right. We're going to open this up to public. All right. Public time is over. We're going to close it. All right. Do we have any other discussion or do we have a motion?

Chair. Yeah. Go ahead. I move with approve case number 2025 147 reszoning from AR to pub also number one8 932 000000 000000 363 with no address war 6. We have a motion. Do we have a second? Oh,

um I would like to uh request that for this possible motion um it it be read exactly as on page six only for the specific clause at the very end that says for the zoning designation to allow for the land use of storage facility. Um, with it being zoned to PUB, um, the fact that it's a custom zone means that you have to specify exactly what it's going to be,

what is in that zoning requirement. And so we wanted to keep it very simple um, and have the zoning be for the land use of storage facility. That way when the applicant comes back for the actual development drawings, it it gives them more freedom to um design it and then present it at a later time in the way that they want it designed. Okay. you have everything to lose.

So, do you amend the he he's recommending to amend the motion to add the to add the text from AR to PUB for the zoning designation to allow for the land use of storage facility. Do you want to amend yours to include that? Yes. Okay. So, now we've got a amended motion. Do we have a second? Second. We have a second. Okay. Any discussion? Roll call, please. Kirby Carter Crawford. Mark Mark. No. No.

Okay. Lita. No. Calvin Freeman. Yes. Maurice Taylor. Yes. Janice Videll. No. Stan Carl. No.

Okay. Motion. It's four. Yeah. Mark, Aita, Carol, and me. So, four, four, two. So, it did not pass. So, no. All right. Motion denied.

So the motion the motion to approve has been denied. So all right, moving on to the next case. Case number 2025-134. The site plan for expand expansion of an RV park at 5370 Goodman Road West. And I will again uh turn this over to our director.

Thank you. Uh Hilltop RV Park LLC is requesting the city to approve 41 new RV parking pads as well as one office and pavilion structure. I have the aerial view of the property up on the screen um in that yellow shape. So the parcel consists of approximately uh 25.7 acres with one driveway connecting to Goodman Road West. There is a neighborhood consisting of single family homes that adjoins the west side and north side of this property. There will be another neighborhood of single family homes built to the east of this property. And then I have the zoning up there. So this property is zoned AR. There are two homes with it with AR zoning directly to the southeast of this property. The existing neighborhood that wraps around this property and the future neighborhood that will be coming is zone PUB. Um and then on that page I have uh two areas circled in blue. So, um, the area on top is going to be those RV parking pads, and that area circled at the bottom is going to be that office pavilion structure. Um, so I kind of jumped ahead there. So, all right, jumping to the middle there. There is a natural stream that exists directly to the north of these proposed pads. The extra driveway and additional RV pads and the light gray coloring are not proposed at this time, but the applicant wishes to just show the future intent at a later time so that the currently proposed deadends make sense for the reviewers. So, um you can kind

of see those dead ends going up to that blue line and then um eventually they will come back and connection. Um and I guess this will be kind of important for um what's coming in the report. Um so the drawing above demonstrates that all the new RV pads will be approximately 50 ft away from the top of the stream bank. The planning department informed the applicant that the city intends to adopt a new stream buffer ordinance in the near future and that MDEQ will soon require that all cities in Mississippi adopt this exact regulation for specific streams at a bare minimum. To avoid any future complications with the state of Mississippi, the applicant has agreed to follow this design standard. However, the planning department may adopt a tougher standard than the bare minimum that the state will require for certain streams. Um, on that page right there, we have the rendering of the office structure. Shown above is the proposed new office and pavilion structure as well as its new driving and parking area. The parking regulations in our ordinance require that all regular spaces at a 90° angle must be 10 ft wide by 18 ft. All handicap spaces must be 12.5 feet wide by 20 feet deep. Since the parking aisle shown above has a handicap spot mixed in the middle of the regular parking, it may make the most sense to have all the parking spaces be 20 ft deep instead of the 22 ft proposed. Additionally, since the ordinance requires all driveway for two-way traffic be 24 feet wide, this would allow for the extra space needed since the drawing is showing a 22 foot wide driveway. Uh, we got the floor plan up there. Um, and then we've also posted all of the elevations up on the screen. So, there's

the north elevation. It's going to be metal sided painting painted white. Um, then we have the west elevation um facing the parking spaces. It calls for a green metal roof and pine posts. Then we have the east elevation um drawing calls for a green roof, steel trest roof support and pine posts. And then we have a a 3D drawing in color showing what that would look like. Um planning staff does not take issue with the proposed architecture of the building and pavilion. It is a unique structure that will serve a great need that is currently missing on site. Since this lot is technically zoned as residential and not commercial or industrial. Um this is not held to the requirement for brick or stone walls as the main architectural elements. The ordinance for architectural standards in residential zones um is posted right there. So if anybody wants to look at the exact requirements, we can go back to that. And for the planning staff review, um, we have that planning staff reached out to the fire department for comment. There is currently insufficient water access for the fire department during the outbreak of any fire on the property. Even with the current residents and structures on site, there are no fire hydrants on the property. Fire hydrants will need to be installed based on the standards required in the fire code for public streets. Even though we understand these RVs are on a private driveway, this site is very unique in that although it is not technically a subdivision due to it being one property with a private driveway, we believe we should enforce the design as we would for a real subdivision.

The driveway leading from Goodman Road West must be widened to 24 feet wide. The new driveway area proposed for the 41 new pads will be 24 feet wide, which is what is required for driveways that are designed for two-way traffic. With that being said, all new driveways on site must also conform to this regulation, and the developer must make an effort to bring the non-compliant portions up to standard. Similarly, each spot that is to contain an RV must have a concrete pad. And that goes for the future ones and the existing ones. There are some areas on site that do not concrete that do not contain a concrete pad. The developer must make an effort to develop the rest of the site to the same design standards as what will be enforced for the 41 new concrete pads. Additionally, for the new pads and the existing pads, the fire department is needing each pad to get a unique number that is permanently fixed in some way to each individual site. This is so that it is easy for someone to make a 911 call that quickly identifies the specific location and so that any emergency personnel can respond quickly to the correct spot. And for clarification, it's not a number attached to the RV, but a number attached to the the the site itself in front of the RV. Um, on the next point, um, appropriate sewer infrastructure must also be installed. The developer should follow all requirements as stated by the public works department on this matter. and we can have it to where um this be a condition that um they have to get um approval through the public works department on all sewer infrastructure um and water infrastructure, sewer and water.

So, the fire department is also requesting that the developer add a second access road to the RV area in case of emergency because the layout of the site may cause congestion during an emergency that may block ingress and egress of both the residents and emergency responders. The details of the alternate roadway design should be worked out with the fire department and followed as such. Planning staff feels that more information may be needed regarding the stability of the land as there is a steep incline from the existing pads to the proposed project area. There is evidence of major erosion occurring and we feel that this may continue and may potentially endanger the residents at the bottom of the hill as well as those on the edge at the top. Planning staff would like more information about the composition of the hillside and the extent of what erosion has occurred as well as what has been done in the past to that hillside. Uh we do not currently see any plans for stabilization in the submission. So we're assuming that this means there is no intention to physically alter the hillside anymore other than where the new driveways will go. But it appears that the land um right there may continue to erode. Um we have the in the conclusion that planning staff recommends approval if the applicant agrees to all conditions, requirements and requests stated within this report. But um the planning commission may um add in more conditions or uh take out conditions or request further study on any of those points.

That concludes the presentation.

Thank you. Um before I turn this over, just quick question. Um because one thing you didn't mention, I know that on other RV parks that we have in the city that there's usually a limit on how long those RVs can stay on on any given pad. I think it's like 90 days. It's like a 90-day uh limit. Do you know do you can you confirm that? Um in in our review uh we looked through the physical layout of everything and we did not come across anything like that. So when it comes to those previous those previous um approvals um I'm not sure where that regulation came from. Um but we look we just looked at the physical design aspect of it rather than the um how long the tenants would be there.

Okay. Because my understanding RV park uh is not for permanent is not for permanent residents. Is that is that correct? Um the I will let the applicant answer the intention of how those pads are going to be used, but the they will be designed for RVs to be there and they will pay rent to the the land owner. Okay. Does anybody have any questions for the director? I I do. Go ahead. Commissioner,

have you reached out to the applicant about the stability of the property? And you're saying we're to approve it if all conditions are met. What conditions are these conditions you're talking about? So, I was uh referring to the fire hydrants needing to be installed per fire code. Um the water line going to those fire hydrants,

of course, being big enough to supply the fire hydrants with water. um for the appropriate sewer line um infrastructure to be installed and um the uh second entrance and exit road to the the RVs as opposed to the singular driveway. Um and the fact that each pad um needs to have identification on its lot number. Um even though these are not technically lots on an official plan, they need to be identified as a separate numbered location um for the fire department and for the police department and for uh 911 in general. And so those were the specific conditions I was mentioning.

Yes. But

the planning commission has the authority to uh request further study uh if it desires on ensuring that the hillside is completely stable. I'm not sure if anyone had a chance to go out on site, but maybe to answer your question, I have been on site. Um, I've been on site with um the fire inspector uh and fire chief and um however the fire department is going to stick to what uh their authority is on enforcing the fire codes. And for me um I have no way of determining if land is stable or not stable or what erosion uh mitigation techniques are appropriate. So, um, but the planning commission can request that our engineering, um, consultant looks into this and makes that determination. So, that's just kind of what I was thinking. Um, along along those lines,

um, this the thing is you're still not addressing. If you say it's not stable, you guys should have done some sort of tests or something to verify the stability. So if it's not stable, it mean that it's your job as planning director and whoever you to make sure that the land itself meets the requirement before anything is done because it's in here that you know there may be more information needed about the stability of the land. So there has to be a reason why this is here.

So I'm gonna make a suggestion. Is the applicant here? Can the applicant come up and we can address some of these with the applicant? U so go ahead and state your name and address, please. Yes. My name is Doug Baker. I'm with EI Corporation. Uh address is 1755 Lynfield Road, Memphis. Okay. Before we get uh to I know that we have plenty of questions up here probably, but my question is is I know that the that that the uh property that's to the east of your of your proposal here is going to be a subdivision u at some point and I know that they've had to redesign it three times because of wetlands and everything. Have y'all done that study? No, a wetland has not been the study.

Okay. because I just know that they went in there with a whole bunch of ideas and they've had to redo it a couple of times because of of wetlands in that area and the and the different waterways that are there that were unknown at the time. So that's I just want I just wanted to make make that statement. Anyway, does anybody have any questions for the applicant? I have two question and it uh how wide the road going to be driving into the parking pads. I'm sorry. How the width of the road going to be driving to the the the parking pads. The width of the road, right? It's I think it's approximately about 20 ft. Currently 20 ft. So

I know the fire department is recommending 24.

In all the recommendations you've heard, is there any of these that you cannot that that you're that you're concerned with? Well, I I I just talked to the developers, the owners, and we would like to withhold till the next meeting this application and see if we can coordinate with the fire department because uh I really would like to know where the secondary road that they would like to uh see put in as uh as part of the safety. Um And I that way we can some of these uh conditions we need to review again um the widening of the road and u and also the uh addition of probably the fire hydrants.

Okay. And and are they are the uh RVs planned on being permanent like a more permanent uh thing or do you all have a limit on how long they can stay? The RV pads on the the RVs that are coming into this area. Yeah. I mean, my understanding is they're paid month by month uh by the people that are renting the space. So, they'd be they could be very well become a permanent permanent place for them to live if they paid

Okay. I'm I'm Daniel Kilsey 11310 Cedar Point Cove, Fernando, Mississippi. Mr. Calvin, how are you doing? Um, so we we purchased this park a few years ago. A lot of the residents uh not only were born there, their parents were born there. Um, and so we were changing it. It was a mobile home park before we took it over. It was in really really poor condition. Uh, and we've made huge strides in changing. I don't know if you guys had a chance to go look over the last couple years. As far as a requirement for them to move lots uh for a certain after a certain amount of time, we have not issued that requirement. We have not been made aware of any requirement that they need to do that. If we need to, just let us know and we can. But as of right now, most of our traffic is transient. Uh so they come in, they do a job. Most of them come in for big projects, construction projects and the such. They may be here for a month, they may be here for four or five months, and then when they do leave, it's not usually one that goes, it's usually five, six, seven that go. Uh but I'd say right now we probably got half longterm and half transient.

Okay. Right. So So, uh, y'all y'all are want but y'all are wanting to, uh, table table this for another meeting. Okay. So, what I'm going to ask the commissioner or anything we can either get we can get with them or do y'all have anything else that y'all would like for them to answer when they come back? I want them to address the um the stability of the land, the incline. Make sure that is a part of it.

The erosion part and and the stability of the the property. Oh. Uh, so again, I'm Daniel. Um, so to address the stability of the hill, that that hillside when we took it over was in in poor shape. We didn't realize how bad. Uh, and it was actually a negative. It was a negative vertical, if that makes sense. Essentially, instead of coming straight down, it was actually eating underneath the roadway. Okay.

So, we have gone through, we've added probably 600 to 700 ton of material and taken it to a 1 one. Uh the nature of dirt work is if you don't have something in there to hold it together and even if you do there's going to be some erosion that happens and when that happens you readress it until it's addressed in in long term.

Uh I do own a landscape company. We do do drainage uh professionally and we've been managing drainage for a very long time. We are working on the hillside. It is to to assuage your concerns. Uh it is currently in good condition. Yes, there are areas that are eroded. They're small in comparison to the size of the hill. This hill is hundreds of feet long and probably 20, 30 feet tall. Uh, and yes, there are some areas, but it's minor. And as soon as we have the weather dry enough to get back in there, we will go back in and readress those areas until we are completely certain that there won't be any additional erosion while at the same time ensuring that if any erosion does occur, we will continue to maintain and correct it. Thank you.

Thank you. I have a question as far as uh this is the first of two plan phases for for increase and the first one is 41 spaces, correct? Yes, sir.

How much of a boom are you forecasting for construction in this area to Yeah. How much of a of a construction boom are you forecasting to want to increase the slot by that side for transit personnel who are coming in as you stated for construction jobs and things of that nature? So, you guys have seen the area. You all have seen Dotto County. Uh we've gotten to the point where where housing is almost impossible to find in areas uh in some areas and some areas it's a little easier, but as y'all can see, everything's moving west from here. There's not really anything else that we can develop uh 51 east from there. So, we're going to assume that it's going to continue down the path that it's currently moving. Thank you.

Yes, sir. All right. Thank you. So, um, do do we have a motion to table this for them to do research? I would, uh, recommend that we at least that y'all look to see what the wetlands are and see if that's going to change anything that y'all have planned on that lot just based on what I've seen from the other developments in that area. I make the motion. Hey, we got a motion to table. Do we have a second? Second. All right, we have a second. Second, Mark. All right, roll call. Kirby. Mark. Yes. Peter, yes. Freeman, yes. Taylor,

yes. Vidal, yes. Carol, yes. Okay. All right. That it has been tabled until our next meeting for the for the answers of the questions. All right. Our next case is case number 2025-144, site plan for building expansion at 6,500 East Center Street. And once again, we will give this to our staff and director.

Thank you. Uh Memphis Recycling Services is requesting the city to approve two expansions of existing buildings on their property. So, we got the aerial view right there. And then on the next page is the zoning. Uh, this parcel consists of approximately 7.5 acres with one driveway connecting to East Center Street. There is a culde-sac consisting of industrial businesses that adjoin the north side of the property and the west side of this property. Across the train tracks, there are two currently vacant lots to the south of the property that are also owned by the applicant. This property is zoned M1. All surrounding properties are also in the M1 zone. And so, uh, we have the locations in relation to the whole property right there outlined in blue. Uh, the image above shows the entire parcel with the two building additions outlined in blue. Um, the drawing above, it's a more zoomed in drawing. It shows a more detailed view of the proposed building additions. Um proposed building additions 1A and 1B will be 5,995 square feet and 3,020 square feet respectively. In the site plan, a 5-ft sideyard setback is drawn with a thick dashed line. In the M1 zone, a 10-ft setback is required from adjoining property lines. However, the distance from the dash line to the proposed building addition 1A and the property line appear to be equal, resulting in a 10- foot setback that meets the requirement for the M1 zone. At the time of the creation of this report, no um drawings of building elevations have been provided by the applicant, but um after that we did receive them um and they meet the design criteria um which is to match the rest of the existing

um construction. Um, and so in conclusion, planning staff believes that these building additions will have minimal visibility from the street and not impact any surrounding properties. The intent of the additions is to provide covered outdoor storage for existing operations on site, which will likely help enhance the cleanliness and security of the site as well as its overall image. Planning staff recommends approval of this site plan request. And that concludes the presentation. All right. Thank you. Does anyone have any questions for our director? Okay. Does the applicant here? If you'll just come up, give your name and address

live at 3381 Sherry Cove and Hernando. All right. Does anybody have any questions for the applicant? Apparently, you're getting off light. That's good. All right. Thank you. All right. So, do we have any other discussion or do we have a motion? Mr. Chair, our motion plan commission approves case number 2025-4 presented in this report recycling services engineering survey approximately 12 acres in one zone at 6500. All right. There's been a motion to uh a motion to um approve. Do we have a second?

I Calvin Frederick. All right, we have a second. Do we have any other discussion? Roll call, please. Kirby Carter. Mara Crawford, yes. Lita Fox, yes. Calvin Freeman, yes. Maurice Taylor, yes. Janice Fidel, yes. Stan Carl, yes. Motion.

Motion has been approved. Thank you. All right. On to our next case. Case number 2025-145 is a site plan for building expansion at 6441 Highway 51 North. And I will turn this back over to our director.

Thank you. E, which is Emergency Equipment Professionals, is requesting the city to approve a 1,250 foot building expansion on their property to include two more garage doors and one regular door, which will face south uh toward the main building. So, we have the aerial view of that property up on the screen. This parcel consists of approximately 2.4 4 acres with one driveway connecting to Highway 51. There is a culde-sac consisting of residential businesses that adjoin the south and west sides of the property and commercial properties across Highway 51. There's a vacant house to the north of the property. This property is zoned C4. Properties to the south and west are zoned R10. Properties to the north and east are zoned C4. And so, uh, we got the site plan details up on screen there. If anybody wants to revisit any of that, let me know. Um, and here are Oh, uh, can go back up real quick just for clarification. Um, in that top right, uh, part of the screen, the the dark small rectangle is the location of the building addition, and then, um, the light gray is what's existing. So, it's just going to be an ment of the same width just extending out from that building. So on the next page um for the some comments about that uh we have that there will not be any additional paving on site or any changes to the parking area or any changes to the landscaping or any changes to the drainage. The only change on site will be the expansion of the building in that northeast corner of the lot, which will add 1,250 square feet being addition of

25 ft by 50 ft. So I have the building elevation up there. Um, and it will match the existing architecture of the building. Um, the exterior walls and roof will be constructed of metal panels. This building material is consistent with what is currently present on site. Um, and the proposal follows the ordinance on building additions which is shown below. And I copy and pasted the exact wording from our ordinance which basically says it has to match the existing construction of the building. Um, so in conclusion, planning staff believes these building add these building additions are acceptable as an addition to what currently exists on site. We do not think it would make sense to enforce a different architectural style to be built onto what was previously approved as that may end up looking worse. Uh, we would rather have the entire building have the same overall design and it does not negatively affect anything else on site. And so I have the possible motion there and that concludes the presentation.

Thank you. Real quick uh question for me is uh I know that usually when we you're adding building and you're adding more uh covered stuff um there's usually a ratio between that and the parking and I know that that they're taking up parking spots to do the 1250 ft. Does does the parking areas does it still within code? So uh technically yes um it um yes it it is fine. Okay. All right. Any other question? Any questions for the director? Is the applicant here? You

just state your name and address please. Harry Guckert 317 West Morland Circle Batesville Mississippi. Does anybody have any questions for our applicant? Man, you're there's so many lucky people today. No questions. Okay, you're good to go. Thank you very much, sir. Thank you. All right. Do we have any other discussion? All right. Do we have a motion, Mr. Chair?

Go ahead. At the reviewing case number 2025145, the planning commission approved the request for the site plan as presented in this report by the applicant EP emergency equipment professional on approximately 2.4 acres in a C4 zone at 6441 Highway 51 North. Second. All right, we got a motion in a second. Any other discussion? Roll call, please. Kirby Carter, Mark Crawford, yes. Kea Fox, Calvin Freeman, yes. Maurice Taylor, Janice Fidell, yes. Stan Carl,

yes. That motion passes. Thank you'all. All right, our next and last case for the night, case number 2025-153. It's a site plan for parking expansion and building expansion at 5980 Nail Road West. And once again, I will turn this over to our director.

Thank you. Newlyweds Foods is requesting site plan approval for the expansion of their industrial wastewater system as well as for the expansion of parking spaces. So, we have the aerial view up on the screen. This parcel consists of approximately 30.26 acres. There will be two separate projects for the same facility. Uh one will be the expansion of the parking that will be in front of the building and the other will be for a small area to house an industrial wastewater system. Um but for the purposes of the planning commission um it being all on the same parcel for the the same company um we've combined this all into one case. we can review all the regulations together. Um, this property is zoned M1. Uh, the properties directly across the street are zoned M1 and PUB whereas the PUBs consist of a storage facility and a gas station. Uh, directly across the intersection is zoned R8. Um, however, interestingly, that parcel contains a school. Um and then for the flood layers, we made sure to check that um there's no concern for flooding within the project areas. The entire parcel is outside of any flood layers. So for the site plan details, um I did a a screenshot um specifically for this expanded parking area. So what you're looking at in that um those diagonal uh lines in the bottom of the screen, that's the existing building. And so, um, just north of that is going to be the expanded parking area. Um, and then in that next image, uh, this is the, um, technically the building expansion. And, uh, we can absolutely go back to the drawing if anyone has questions. I know

there's there's a lot going on in there, but we can we can break it down if you all want. U and then there is a more detailed view of the enclosure that's going to be constructed um as part of this expansion. Um and then if you're standing on the ground looking at the enclosure, this is what you will see. Um so if anyone wants to go back to any of those images, just let me know. So for the planning staff review, u the first image on page three shows the plan for additional parking spaces to be added in front of the building along Nail Road West. The regular parking spaces conform to the requirement for length and width. As the proposed space spaces are 10 ft wide and 20 ft deep, the requirement is 10 by 18. It appears that the handicap spaces need to be adjusted in width though as our ordinance on the matter requires them to be 12.5 by 20 ft. This propose this proposal passes the requirement of needing a landscaped island after no more than 10 parking spaces for the additional structure being built to contain and screen the industrial wastewater system. This will be built along the northeastern inner corner of the existing building. For your convenience, I have circled the area in yellow on the image below. The second drawing on page three shows the existing building line as a double slash mark behind a dotted line. The proposed enclosure area will be 48 ft by 27.33 ft and will consist of brick with metal accents with two regular doors and one coiling overhead door. This will be an acceptable architectural design to match the existing building. And so, um, just so everyone's clear, I I went ahead and circled the spot over the aerial imagery of where this enclosure will be. So, uh, in conclusion, planning staff recommends

approval for both projects within this request on the condition that the proposed handicap spaces are adjusted to follow the city's design requirements. And I have a possible motion there. And that concludes the presentation. All right. Does anybody have any questions for our director? I do. So the parking lot is going to be in that grassy area facing um nail road. Uh that is correct.

Is it the applicant come up and state your name and address? Name is Ryan McDaniel. I'm project manager with A2308 North Lamar Boulevard in Oxford. My uh my first question would be on this waste water treatment is do y'all have waste a treatment center there now and y'all just want to expand it.

So um been working with newlyweds for about 20 years they had a requirement um the organics that are in there some of the food products that are inside when it washes down the drain they were getting too much too many organics in the waste water. So they have a temporary wastewater system in place that's collecting where it collects outside. They they do their treatment and then they send it back down to uh uh the municipal wastewater system which is being tested and checked and all that sort of thing. So, this project is to take that temporary equipment that's out there on the ground in that in that circle that you see on the screen and enclose it in a dry building for uh for them to be able to maintain and operate it to clean that area up and uh take care of that equipment better.

Okay. All right. So, anybody have any other questions for

Yes, sir. exit toward or come to the regular main entrance. So, the the intent is if if we wanted to go back to the the layout, uh the current entrance that comes into News Foods up in the front will be the same. Uh we're we're basically um where the entrance comes in, we're connecting off of that entrance that goes to Nail. So, we're not attaching to Nail with the parking. We're just coming off the existing parking area uh to go in front of the building. So, still the same. Still the Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Yeah. And Billy, you can kind of if you can zoom in. I don't know if that computer can do it. You on the right. Um Well, yeah, you can point there as well, but on that drawing, um go back to the drawing. Are you able to zoom in on that? Okay. Well, it's it's up on that top left. Um, yeah, right there. So, just off of the border on the left would be the existing entrance and exit from Nail into the News Foods facility. Right.

Right. No, sir. There's no no change to no change the connection to N. Yes, sir. Any other questions for the applicant? Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. All right. Do we have any other discussion or do we have a motion?
