Fresh Coast Group Site Plan Review

Discussion was held on landscape buffers. Chain-link fencing with privacy slats are being proposed where they’re incapable of installing the appropriate buffer yard Type B due to the existing building setback only being 21’ more or less from lot line. Concerns were expressed over the maintenance of the privacy slats. It was determined the Zoning Administrator could advise applicant if fencing is not being maintained. Holtz offered and Johnson supported to approve Fresh Coast Group petitioned final site plan to utilize an existing 11,340 sf warehouse, previously housing a truck cap and bed liner sales company, for the cultivation of medical and adult-use marijuana. Also approve Fresh Coast Group site plan to construct a 30’X72’ (2160 sf) for the processing of medical and adult-use marijuana to be located on the north side of Lansing Rd., as legally described in Section 19 of Windsor Charter Township (Parent Parcel Tax ID #: 080-019-100-040-00) based on the following reasoning and conditions: Reasoning 1) Subject to the conditions provided below, it is found that the petitioned special land use meets the general standards as provided for under Section 6.8 and other applicable sections of the Ordinance. 2) Subject to the conditions provided below, it is found that the final site plan for a marijuana processing and cultivation facility generally meets the general standards as provided for M-1 District and site development requirements set for under Section 5.8-A.3.
