Board of Adjustment Minutes 07/26/2012 Page 2 Planner Curry presented the staff report. She explained that the size of the property dictates whether a project needs conditional use approval and that it is an additional layer of review to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses. She also explained the ICO requirements and presented the architectural renderings. She stated that the site meets the conditional use criteria and the planned commercial development criteria. She added that since this property was included in the Hammock Landing DRI many issues concerned with the conditional use review had already been addressed. She concluded with the staff recommendation to approve the conditional use for Gander Mountain and the roads for Phase 2 of Hammock Landing based on the analysis in the staff report with the following 2 conditions: 1. Construct the interconnection to Phase 1 (Target and Ross) prior to opening; 2. Install either 6 foot shrubs along the edge of the parking lot to the rear of the building or install a temporary wall like buffer during the holidays to handle the additional merchandise waiting inside storage. Chairman Beckner asked since Phase 2 is 28 acres and there is room for more development would other commercial developments over three acres be required to apply for conditional use. Planning Director Fischer confirmed. Board Member Ziebell asked for clarification on the road construction. Planning Director Fischer explained the road construction would be for the interconnection of Phase 1 and Phase 2. Board Member Hinson asked if there would be a need for a stop light at the entrance off of Norfolk Parkway. Planning Director Fischer explained that the development order for the DRI did contain provisions for a stop light at that location if warranted. She added that one of the requirements of the development order is at 90% build-out, the developer would provide the City with a traffic study which could help determine whether a traffic light is needed. Board Member Ziebell expressed her opinion that the roadway in that area is dangerous, and commented that 10 foot wide parking spaces would not be big enough for trucks. Board Member Beckner asked about signage and whether there would be boat sales. Planning Director Fischer stated that the signage would be consistent with Phase 1 and if there were any outdoor sales areas they would have to show how they would meet the regulations but there has been no indication from the applicant on outdoor sales. There was some discussion on the size of the building. Chairman Beckner closed the public hearing. Moved by Vice Chair Willmarth, seconded by Chairman Beckner to approve the conditional use for Gander Mountain and the roads for Phase 2 of Hammock Landing based on the analysis in the staff report with the following 2 conditions: 1. Construct the interconnection to Phase 1 (Target and Ross) prior to opening;
