The subject lots are exempt from the Cape Cod Commission Development Agreement. Total size of the site is more than3/a acres, has access off Industrial Drive and abuts a residential zone. Plans call for construction in the front portion of the site of a 4000-square foot, one-story building with storage and office space. The proposal meets the 75-foot setback requirement from the street. Parking would be installed on the side and rear of the building. Natural buffers exist in the front and in the rear of the site. A former gravel pit would be re-vegetated to provide I more of a buffer from Great Hay Road. Installation of a security fence is also proposed. No retail sales are allowed in the I-1 zoning district; therefore, the Petitioner is requesting permission for wholesale sale and indoor and outside storage of materials and equipment.
