1k. Commission to consider Docket No. 74-94 DP/ADLS, a Development Plan and
Architectural Design, Lighting and Signage application for Shurgard Storage Centers,
Inc. The petitioner is seeking approval to locate an approximately 75,000 square foot
storage facility on the south side of the intersection of US 31 and US 431 (commonly
known as the point.) The petitioner will also be appearing before the Carmel/CIay
Board of Zoning Appeals for Special Use and Developmental Standards Variances.
Filed by James Nelson for Shurgard Storage Centers, Inc.
Jim Nelson, 3663 Brumley Way, Carmel, appeared before the Commission representing
Shurgard Storage Centers, Inc. The public hearing on this Docket was concluded in
November and subsequently heard by the Special Study Committee. Those commitments
requested of the petitioner at Special Study Committee have been reduced to writing, signed
by the owner, and filed with the Department of Community Development. In particular,
those commitments are as follows: 1) a designation on the site development plan of an area
where Ryder rental trucks would be parked, if any would be on the site; 2) the lighthouse will
be lighted by a-single, 105 watt bulb, consistently illuminated (not flashing); and 3) the
concrete portion of the foundation of building No. 1 which will be most visible from
Keystone Avenue will not be a textured, concrete finish, (as per Ron Houck's suggestion.)
Jeff Kennelly, Chairman of the Special Study Committee, reported that there were mixed
feelings with this particular project. Mr. Kennelly stated that the amount of metal on the
building was still a problem area for him, but the changes that the petitioner made were more
palatable.
Jeanne Reid, also a member of the Special Study Committee, commented that only part of the
Commission was able to see any changes in the building because they were presented at the
Committee level. It was discovered
that Shurgard had constructed buildings of much higher quality throughout the United States,
and when a similar request was made of the petitioner, there is a little more brick and a little
less metal—but not a lot less. What is shown is a major change from the initial presentation,
but not what the Commission was really looking for.
Tim Nelson reviewed adjacent land uses and what the proposed project would become a part
of a Shurgard storage facility would be a very low, traffic generator. The storage facility
