MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS Section 5.03 (Conditional and Special Uses) requires that a CUP conform to the following requirements: (1) Utilities adequate to provide water and sanitation service based on accepted engineering standards and approved by the Environmental Health Officer shall either be in place or shall be constructed in conjunction with the proposed use; (2) Street improvements adequate to accommodate traffic volume generated by the proposed use and to provide safe, convenient access to the use shall either be in place or shall be constructed in conjunction with the proposed use; (3) Design of the proposed use is organized to minimize impact on and from adjacent uses of land through the installation of screen fences or landscape materials on the periphery of the lot and by location of intensively utilized areas, access points, lighting and signs in such a manner as to protect established neighborhood character. 1. Utilities (Water/Wastewater): No water is proposed in the structure. Staff contacted Ron Leach, Carbondale and Rural Fire Protection District, in regards to fire protection needs at the site. Because the Carbondale Fire District has not adopted the Uniform Fire Code, Ron indicated that no requirement is enforceable in regards to fire protection at the site. The Board of County Commissioners does have the authority to require some form of fire protection within the Special Use process. No sewage disposal system is included in the application. 2. Ate: Access will be provided via County Road 110. Expected truck trips are estimated at 10 trips per day. Access is limited in the area, as discussed during the rezoning of adjacent property. 3. Impact of Adjacent Uses: Adjacent land uses to the north is a retail store (Cozy Corner) and Slims Taxidermy. In staff's opinion, the use does not appear to create compatibility issues with adjacent uses. The proposal does not warrant screening from adjacent uses (storage will be inside the structure and does not adversely impact established neighborhood character. Y. SUGGESTED FINDINGS 1. That proper publication and public notice was provided as required by law for the hearing before the Board of County Commissioners. 2.
