Ms. Kavanaugh presented a proposed mini-storage facility on Welsonna and Monterey. Storage would accommodate RV and Boats. Public comments focused on a request5ed variance to the existing setbacks, visual concerns, landscaping and appearance, and the poor exterior and landscaping quality of the recently completed mini-storage adjacent to the proposed site. There was public concern that the Welsonna neighbors were not noticed for this SMAC meeting and would be concerned about the project. Councilmember McHarris motioned to recommend that the project follow the Salina River Plan, maintain the current required setbacks (no variance), provide complete landscape screening, and provide public notice to the Welsonna neighborhood before any future public meetings. Councilmember Young seconded the motion. Vote was 5 – 0 approving the motion.
Meeting Adjourned 8:10 p.m.
