JUL 10 1985 BOQK 61 Fn -E 470 O The storage of numerous chemicals and plastic pipe at this site S'Aates a potential for toxic fumes and chemicals to be released. A woods -fire to the North of the subject property recently caused serious concern on the part of the Fire District Officials regarding possible release of toxic fumes if the fire had reached the subject property. Storage and use of these materisls on the subject site creates a use which whould be totally alien to a Residential Neighborhood! The front -yard - required by Zoning Ordinances 71-3 Sec.22(G) - was recently eliminated on the subject property and replaced by a parking area! Section 22(1) requires a side -yard of 30 feet when materials having an explosive capability are present. There is at present - and no doubt will be in the future - these types of materials on the subject site! Under Section 24, OFF STREET PARKING, the most similar use listed is (4) General Commercial, requiring one parking space per 200 sq. ft. of �ross building area. There are existing retail sales areas and a display of PVC furniture, with flags etc. along 8th Street. Thus, parking according to the Ordinances is inadequate! Some of the existing off-street parking is arranged on this site so that it is necessary, when exiting, to back onto the 8th Street roadway! Parking has been a serious problem with the subject property since Mr. Hiers has owned it. There are three or four of Mr Hiers' businesses operated out of.this one-acre..site. There is already an over -intensive use of this property with the present improvements. The addition of such a lareg warehouse '(7,500 s.f.) to the already existing improvements would create a more serious safety hazard on 8th Street. At the present time there are Tractor -Trailers, earth moving equipment, cars and all sorts of trucks periodically 58 - M M
