Request: The applicant wishes to expand an open-air storage area for vehicles and relocated existing refuse containers. The paved area would come to within 4.5 feet of the north property line and a dumpster pad would be within 3.9 feet of the south property line; the Kentwood Zoning Ordinance requires a 20-foot wide landscape buffer along the north, south and west property lines. An oil tank for used oil is proposed within 15 feet of the north property line; the Kentwood Zoning Ordinance requires that it be setback at least 20 feet from the north property line. The requested variances are for a reduction of the required buffer zones by 15.5 feet along the north property line and 16.1 feet from the south property line and a reduction of the required setback of the oil tank by 5 feet.
