Village Engineer Tim Pruett reported to the board that Alex and Todd Erbs, owners of Freeburg Self Storage at 550 W. Phillips, requested permission to add two storage unit buildings.
The Planning & Zoning Board discussed security lighting and fencing; the owners told the board they will address those issues as part of construction. The board approved the Special Use Permit on a 7-0 vote and separately approved an area bulk variance to allow the new buildings to be located in the same general layout as existing buildings, which sit approximately 16.3 feet from the west property line and 18.6 feet from the east property line.
The site plan changes stem from activity in the I-1 district; the village board asked some follow-up questions during the meeting but the Planning & Zoning determinations stand as recorded by Pruett.
