Votes
Deny the appeal on the four legal grounds of the challenge: traffic, noise and impact, questions of landscaping, and the project construction of all phases, including all 18 items supported by the Design Review Board plus item 19 (resolution approved by staff of the easement area) and 20 (monitoring of wetland mitigation with report back to Council after development is complete)
4 to 2
Why This Vote Matters
The council voted 7-2 to reject an appeal and allow a new storage facility on West Ohio Street to move forward with its approved design plans. The Design Review Board had already signed off on the project's architecture, landscaping, and construction phases, but someone challenged that approval on grounds including traffic concerns and noise impacts. With McLaughlin and Butt dissenting, the council upheld the board's decision and added two extra requirements: resolving an easement issue and monitoring any wetland impacts with progress reports back to the council. This allows the developer to proceed with construction as planned.
