He stated that there will be offices in the front and a concrete wall surrounding the whole project. The storage bays will not have any power, no business can be run out of them.. The largest bay will be 10 ft. X 30 ft. The estimated traffic flow is about 25 cars per day.

Lazar noted that a buffer area could be designed into the project. There was discussion on the number of bays estimated for the facility. It was de- termined by Lazar that there will be 600 plus bays planned. Lazar stated that this will be dry storage. It is for the community to store their goods , and recreational vehicles that they can not store at their homes. He stated that there will be no R.

Lazar showed the Board pictures and a video of the surrounding personal storage build- ings in the Central Florida area and what the proposed facility would resemble. He pointed out the astetically non-pleasing points on some of the existing facilities and how his proj ect would eliminate them. Girda mentioned that the front of the facility with the offices would fit into the C-l zoning and the storage warehouses in the back would fit into the C-2 zoning classification. Grove mentioned that she was one of the authors of the zoning classifications, and that this type of facility was not the intention of C-l zoning. She stated that this type of facility would be in her opinion in conflict with the City's Compre- hensive Land Development Plan. Powell noted that the City Manager was also one of the authors, and has stated that this type of facility has come into existance over the last 10 years to meet the additional storage requirements of the residents of neighborhood communities. i r'.
