• ~ ~ TYPE OF RELIEF BEING SOUGHT: Zoning Ordinance Section 7-600, Table B establishes setback and lot coverage requirements for facilities located in HI zones. This table specifies the following building setbacks: Front, 50 feet; Side 30 feet; Reaz, 50 feet. The table caps under roof lot coverage at a maximum of 30%. As proposed the new wazehouse building would require a setback variance of 45 feet to the rear to 5 feet and 25 feet to the side to S. feet , and an under roof lot coverage variance of 21% to 51%. It should be noted the administration building and a similar warehouse building was approved under previous variance request V92-003 granting building setback and under roof lat coverage variances. Only the administration building has been built to date. TBE GROUNDS FOR THE REQUEST: Laurel Industries business has increasingly grown during the thirteen yeazs of existence to become the largest US producer of antimony oxide products. In order to remain a world leader in the market Laurel Industries must expand to provide value-added service to customers. Antimony oxide is a product which must be stored under roof. Regazding the issue of setback variances, letters from the effected neighbors are attached stating there aze no objections to the construction of the building in the proposed location. The setback variances are necessary to maintain traffic patterns for trucks during the regular course of business. Adequate on site pazking for the facility will be maintained.
