The proposal includes the modification of the PUD -I <br />Special Permit, Site Plan Review and Open Storage Special Permit. The proposed changes include <br />additional seasonal open storage areas and the use of a designated area within the parking lot for the <br />staging of a truck rental operation. The truck rental operation would expand upon the existing Home <br />Depot truck rental operation and be conducted from the existing tool rental center. In addition to the <br />proposed seasonal open storage areas, Home Depot USA is requesting to legitimize the use of some <br />parking spaces for the display of sheds and for cart corrals. <br />The site currently has an approved open storage plan identifying areas for open storage along the front <br />of the building, in front of the garden center and some areas within the eastern portion of the site near <br />the loading docks. The proposal includes additional seasonal open storage areas to be located in the <br />parking lot near the garden center and additional areas on the eastern portion of the site. A total of 43 <br />spaces would be used for the additional seasonal open storage areas between the months of March -July. <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
