INFORMATION: Hope Renovations, on behalf of the property owner Fitch Lumber Co., submitted an application seeking permission to place a shipping container on the 502-A North Greensboro Street property. If approved, the modification would allow the container to be placed on site, and upfitted and utilized as office space to serve Hope Renovations. The container could potentially remain for an undetermined amount of time as the attached resolution (Attachment A) does not specify a time limit for it being on site, but Hope Renovations has indicated in the attached letter they provided (Attachment D) that they currently expect to use the shipping container as an office for about two years. The original permit, issued in 1987, is attached for reference (Attachment B).
The shipping container will be placed on the site and upfitted for office use in compliance with the NC Building Code. Bathrooms are provided within the existing office space. A site plan is attached showing where the container will be located (Attachment C).
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: The applicant is paying the applicable permitting fees associated with the application. No other fiscal or staff impacts are noted.
RECOMMENDATION:r The Town Manager recommends that the Town Council approve the attached resolution for the Minor Modification request (Attachment A).
