He added that, at a previous meeting, this Board approved one section of parking consisting of less than five parking spaces in a row for Lot 5, and now, this latest revision includes three more similar reductions. He indicated that Staff recommends approval. The applicant was invited to step forward to present his case.

He explained that he was unable to connect two of the short parking rows, and still meet the landscape requirements. The public hearing was opened to the public. No one spoke in favor of, or in opposition to, the request. The public hearing was closed to the public and opened to the Board for discussion. Greg Jones distributed a letter received from Sunbelt Self Storage, indicating their approval of this request.
