Concept Review Complete: Corrections Required
• Per the updated zoning code, we will require detached sidewalks installed along Gowen as it is a collector: Each frontage on a collector or arterial street shall include a detached sidewalk at least 10 feet in width that is separated from the curb line by a minimum of eight to 10 feet when a Class I, II or III street tree is provided depending on the site conditions. This area will accommodate a landscape buffer and street trees. If you wish to not install detached sidewalk, a variance will be required.• We will consider the large shop to be the primary structure, leaving the two storage containers to be accessory structures. Per code: No detached accessory building or structure shall occupy any area in front of the primary building, unless approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission as a conditional use permit.
