Mr. Clay was present. Mr. Graser noted that the proposed location for these storage facilities would be between Highway 13 and Evanston Avenue. He noted that the property is presently zoned R -2 and the use is not presently defined in the zoning ordinance. He asked the commission to he the applicable zoning district for this type of use. Discussion from the commission members showed that they felt there was a need for this type of facility but not in this particular area.

Upon a vote taken, the motion was duly passed. Item II, a continuation of a Conditional Use request by Phillip Freeman. Mr. Freeman was present at the meeting. At this time he restated his proposal to construct a two family town house on Lots 35 and 36, Fairlawn Shores. Staff was called upon for his comments. At this time he reviewed what took place at the previous meeting in December, noting that Mr. Freeman was asked to contact the adjoining property owners in order to get their reactions to this proposed townhouse.

Mr. Graser stated that the subject lot is approximately SO' x 90' lakeshore lot zoned R -1. He noted that the pfoposed garage would be protruding into the right -of -way approximately six feet. It was staffs recommendation to deny the request as presented but approve a 6' set -back from the side property line and the garage be parallel to County Road 12 with a set -back of at least 6' from the front property line. This would allow a 14' garage. It was noted that Mr, Paul is requesting to construct a garage mostly for storage of his work related items.
