The total impervious surface coverage is currently at 36.3 percent. This percentage was approved by the City with the first Conditional Use Permit as the applicant provided a stormwater retention plan showing containment of the 10-year, 24 hour storm event on the parcel. The overflow parking was not counted as impervious surface. The property contains three drainage pond areas. The applicant has not requested anymore impervious surface coverage but does propose to store units outside. 2. The proposed use, with conditions, would be compatible with the existing neighborhood and also is compatible and consistent with the existing use of property. Adjoining properties to the east and south are largely undeveloped with some commercial development to the north and some residential development on the west side of State Highway 371. 3.

If the utility buildings are to be stored outside as the applicant has intended that will reduce the number of available parking spaces. The applicant has not said how many parking spaces will be taken up with the storage of the buildings in the parking area. The parking ratio for retail stores is one (1) space for `, each 100 square feet of gross floor area. According to these
