Content With Containers

The hornets nest was poked last week when the subject of storage containers was brought up for study by the board of planning and zoning. Top Gun Storage has been providing quality customized containers for clients locally and internationally. Zach Zuroweste Face-Timed into the meeting so he could provide some insight and answer questions. A letter from Tara Stephens, CEO of Pinckney Bend Distillery, was read to the board which outlined Stephens’ concerns for their existing containers on site.

Kathy Trentmann reminded everyone that the document the city presented at the meeting was in draft form only, and that everything was up for change. It was suggested by letter from board member, Bill Coatney, that a subcommittee be formed to study in detail the best practices of storage containers and the myriad of uses they have been introduced in residential and commercial uses.

There is a large spectrum of the quality of containers that some local businesses have on their sites. Some are used, rusty and not waterproof, and might look unsightly on property. Some are custom painted and finished with windows and doors and look beautiful. The subcommittee will be organized over the next couple of months to study the conundrum. Interested parties should contact New Haven City Hall if interested in participating with the subcommittee.
