2 3. Site History The original site was designed for Beaver Lumber as a retail yard approximately Using the complete lot and having a railroad spur which has been removed but still evident with the presence of gravel rail bed. The loading dock floor and foundations and pads exist at the rear of the property. The original top soil had been removed and replaced with gravel for previous business. In 1994 it was purchased by A&B Rental for the present equipment rental business. 4. Design The existing Fanshawe Park Road is a mix of agricultural lands to the north and east, commercial uses to both east and west on north and south sides of the road with a few residential properties scattered, one to the east and more to the west. There. are no natural features in the vicinity that could be obstructed. The proposed new facility will improve visual appearance of the property. The residential property to the east has mature trees that will be protected. With the design and height of the proposed buildings they will be obscured f?om the residence and with a stone or brick face will be visually appealing. The proposed Storage Facility is a contained facility with minimal outdoor storage. The site is not serviced at this time but applications are being made. A sewage storage tank has been designed to accommodate the required quantities and a contract will be entered into for removal of waste by a licensed haulage company. There are no sidewalks in this area so special provisions are not relevant. A bicycle storage rack will be provided at the h nt of the facility. Handicap parking will be provided. Space is provided so that a bulk container can be located and recycling can be used. Night lighting will be obtained with high efficient lights mounted to the face of the buildings below eaves therefore containing light to the interior of the facility and not to neighbouring properties. Access to the site will be thruthe existing double wide entrance from Fanshawe Park Road. A exit lane for the existing property is in place and will suffice the expected traffk volume. Signage will be placed of the face of the existing building and on an existing sign located at the front of the property.
