Mike Pfeiffer, representing Northwest Asphalt has applied for a conditional use permit for exterior storage at 1425 Stagecoach Road. Northwest Asphalt is an excavation, utilities and paving contractor. The applicant has recently purchased the property and has a lease with NuStar, the occupant of the existing building.

Northwest Asphalt's operation is directly south of this site and has a conditional use permit for the exterior storage of equipment and storage / crushing of stone products at 1451 Stagecoach Road. The applicant is proposing a crushed granite surface so that tracked equipment does not damage a paved surface. Staff is recommending that the driveway outside the storage area be paved, which is consistent with City Code. The applicant is requesting to store equipment on this site and would not store broken or crushed material on this site. The applicant is proposing to construct a 6' tall wood privacy fence along the north lot line. The proposed storage area is 10' south of the fence. Staff recommends that the fence be setback 10' from the lot line to allow for planting of trees adjacent to the fence. 

The applicant is proposing to remove several trees on the site and save nine trees on the site. Several of the existing trees on the site are Cottonwood Trees, which are exempt from replacement. The applicant is proposing to plant nine trees west of the infiltration basin on the site. Staff is recommending that an additional two trees be planted adjacent to the basin to screen the storage area from Stagecoach Road and that deciduous trees be added in 40' intervals adjacent to the privacy fence along the north side of the storage area.  With the proposed changes to the landscape plan, staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit request.
