The Owner, Michael provided an explanation of the application proposal. Requesting relief to allow for a shipping container

Planner I, Monika Sadler provided a detailed presentation of the application.

Committee Chair, John Rogers, asked the owner if he thinks the condition for the cladding in wood is appropriate. The owner is opposed to it as he believe it does not make a huge difference. 

Committee Member Karen Whitney asked the owner if there would be any alternative cladding that would work better for him. The owner advises that just painting the container should be sufficient. Monika advised the wood cladding is only to lower the visual impact. Karen Whitney advised to only have wood cladding for the container on the exterior side (facing neighboring property). The owner agrees to the changes. Karen Whitney advised it is only the west side. 

Following the vote, Committee Chair John Rogers advised that the application is approved subject to a 20-day appeal period and two years to meet all conditions.
