Background
Sure Cast is currently constructing a new building at 10620 Nassau Street. As a part of their business operation, they are requesting the ability to have outside storage in the rear of the site. The proposed outside storage area would be adjacent to the rear of the building under construction. The outside storage would include bins for metal wire, recycling, and sand storage.
The site plan also identifies an area for future trailer parking. As required by the zoning ordinance, the number of trailers permitted to be stored outside is limited to the number of dock doors on the building.
Outdoor storage requests are generally reviewed for screening and containment of the storage. A chain link fence (with slats) is proposed to contain the outdoor storage area and provide visual screening. Storage is limited to the area shown on the attached graphic and within the fenced area. No outdoor storage may occur anywhere outside of defined fence area.
