EAC tables site-plan for storage expansion at 249 (Calvin) pending lighting-variance outcome
Summary
The committee tabled action on a storage-site expansion with a lighting foot-candle variance; the applicant will appear before the zoning board on Oct. 15 and return to the EAC afterward.
The Environmental Advisory Committee tabled consideration of a site-plan for a proposed internal stock-storage expansion at the parcel referenced as "249" (Calvin) after learning the applicant must seek a variance for lighting foot-candle levels.
Dan (staff member) explained that county comments were on file and that the project had exceeded the 30-day public-comment period. The applicant confirmed the variance request and said the zoning hearing for the foot-candle levels is scheduled for Oct. 15. Committee members requested that the outcome of that variance and any zoning-board conditions be reported back before EAC final action.
Why it matters: The lighting variance could affect neighbors and compliance with dark-sky or local foot-candle limits; the EAC tabled to review the variance outcome and related engineering comments.
Details: The proposal involves internal stock storage with site modifications and a total disturbance area noted in materials; the applicant said the revised plan removed a light pole on the property line and added wall packs to maintain safe pedestrian paths. The applicant described the lights as dark-sky compliant and shielded. The EAC agreed to table the item until after the zoning-board hearing.
Action: Motion to table carried by voice vote; the item will return to the EAC after the variance decision and any subsequent plan changes.
Next steps: The applicant will return with the zoning-board result and updated plans as needed; the EAC will consider the item at its next meeting (Oct. 29).
