BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Strack Construction Company, owner and applicant, has
submitted a request for a conditional use permit to allow for outdoor storage located on the southwest
th
corner of CR 133 and 15 Ave. NE, north of Bliss Direct Media and west of Best-Way Fabricating. The
Property is zoned LI-Light Industrial District and outdoor storage is a permitted accessory use via a
conditional use permit. Strack Construction Company recently received site plan approval to construct
their office building and garage. However, the proposed 16,900 SF outdoor storage area requires approval
of a conditional use permit. According to the applicant, the outdoor storage area will be used to store their
equipment trailers, construction job office containers, and misc. steel materials.
The outdoor storage area is proposed to be fenced with a six foot high vinyl fencing with spruce trees and
bur oak along the north side and dogwood shrubs along the south side. The existing vegetation along the
southwesterly boundary of the property will provide screening.
