Direct Line Communications has applied for a conditional use permit for exterior storage at 1565 Stagecoach Road. The building at 1565 Stagecoach Road was recently constructed and Direct Line Communications is a proposed tenant of the building. Direct Line Communications is a contractor for the telecommunications industry that buries and bores cables, as well as installs / maintains telecommunications equipment. The applicant is proposing to store spools of cable, machines / equipment, and vehicles east of the existing building in a fenced area (see site plan and applicant narrative). 

The Engineering Department has reviewed and commented on this proposal that fencing must be outside of the 100-year HWL of the stormwater basin and that materials must be stored outside of drainage and utility easements. 

The Fire Department has commented that a Fire Department key box may be required for the fenced area. 

In discussions with the property owner, they have agreed to plant additional trees as screening south of the paved area. Staff has added a condition in the draft resolution that 10 additional Evergreen and Deciduous trees be planted along the south side of the site adjacent to the storage area at the minimum acceptable spacing for the species. There is a line of existing trees in this area and additional trees will provide a more significant buffer. Storage of materials and equipment must also only take place on paved areas.
