REGULAR AGENDA
Action Agenda
1. Consider and act upon approval of a Site Plan for Regency Business Park,
Phase 2, Block C, Lot 44, generally located northeast of Regency Drive
and Exchange Street.
Mr. Lee stated that the property is located at 122 Regency Drive, within the Regency
Business Park, Phase 2 Addition. The property was platted in 1987, and is currently
zoned Light Industrial.
The applicant proposes to construct a single story 6,357 square foot Industrial, Inside
facility on 0.68 acres. The property has constraints due to utility easements, both
overhead and underground cover more than fifty percent of the lot.
The applicant has acquired permission from utilities to construct parking and access
facilities within the easements, however permanent structures are prohibited. Therefore
the parking is 120 feet away from the facility on the northern portion of the property. A
copy of the filed agreement between the utility companies must be submitted prior to
construction or the issuance of permits.
Mr. Lee recommended that the Site Plan be approved with stipulation that Parking space
18 noted is to be removed, as it is encroaching onto the easements and building line.
Ms. 011ie stated that the parking is allowed under the overhead easements, which is 150
feet. There are no structures on the underground easements.
Commissioner Kirk questioned the building line. Mr. Lee stated that since the property
was platted in 1987, the 20 foot front building line is allowed. The landscaping and
architectural design generally complies with the guidelines.

Lee explained that the Commissioners will see Site Plans that may conform in the spirit
of the Ordinance but not always to the letter due to certain conditions/circumstances
(setback on plats, utilities, etc.)

landscaping, but there will appropriate grass. Mr. Dahl questioned if the 12 foot drive on
the east side of the property, is curbed, and expressed concerned on illegal parking. Mr.
