Attorney Kevin Kirrane represented the owners for the proposed commercial project.Also present were the two principals, Joao Junqueria and Glen Thompson. The project is similar to industrial projects that the Board has approved in the past. The proposed building is 9,972 sq. ft. on a 64,832 sq. ft. lot. The lot has 233 ft. of frontage along Mercantile Way and is a conforming lot. The building itself is a typical Morton metal building with a concrete foundation. The proposal includes parking in front of the building,and on a gravel surface to the rear of the building. The petitioners are proposing to divide this structure into eight (8) individual units, and they have applied for various uses including storage within a building, contractor bays, carpentry, and electrical shops which are the typical business uses for these types of buildings. Each unit will be equipped with its own bathroom and there will be a tight tank mechanism that will be available so if there are any spills, it will run off into the tight tank. There is a proposed septic system with a buffer around the sight as required under the bylaw. Twenty two parking spaces(22)are required under the bylaw; there are forty (40) spaces being proposed. Attorney Kirrane said he asked for relief from the parking bylaw which calls for trees to be planted within the parking lot, and given the types of uses that may exist, it isn't practical for trees to be planted within this particular parking area. 1
