I understand that this property will be developed. However it needs to conform to the zoning or go through rezoning to the appropriate zone. In the event of a big box or other type of store or even a church Caltrans would require them to upgrade the Hwy to accommodate the added traffic. This developer is trying to skirt the zoning issues and get around the traffic issues by claiming less than 20 visits a day. Now we all know that people with boats and RVs will greatly exceed this estimate in the warmer months. We have a blind corner to deal with as well not to mention the bus stop and mailboxes for Northwood(the post office has refused to allow them to be moved as per the Planning commission meeting.)
joe,
I don’t see a good reason to object to the storage facility. Currently the land is vacant and looks like a fire hazard (on Google maps). We don’t have a decent RV storage facility up here now, and as far as I know this wouldn’t take away any business from Arnold. The storage facility in Arnold, Secured Self Storage RV & Boat, only a has few indoor RV storage units. Most of those storage units are for storing furniture and other household items.
If it were going to be a box store like Home Depot, Wal-Mart, etc., then I would do whatever necessary to stop it. If I’m missing something please post it.

PS. Attached are some photos of the plot and street view of where they want to build the storage facility.
the buildings proposed are 32 ft. tall and on the slope of a hill so even with fast growing vegetation it will take quite awhile to screen this thing. It is also on a blind corner with just barely enough line of site for normal cars forget about class A motor homes. Not to mention the Property values for the poor folks in forest meadows as this facility is 4 buildings totaling 48000 sq. ft. This Facility is in the wrong zoning and by allowing it to go in we would be setting a bad precedent for the use of C1 in the future. Think about where the next storage facility could pop up.
From the Permit:
“permit to construct and operate an indoor RV and boat storage facility”also,
“A vegetation screen of fast-growing evergreen trees and shrubs will be established along the northerly and southerly boundaries of the site and between vehicle parking areas and adjacent streets and roads.”If this keeps RV’s and boats from being stored in residential areas….it may not be such a bad idea.. 😉
