RE: Z-18-00131 Thomas Court - Garage Condo Description
The garage condo project fills a need in the Lawrence community for large and small vehicle storage and hobby space that may not be available in your typical residential garage.
The garage condos will offer different levels of finish per the tenants desire. Some units could be fully finished on the inside with framed walls while others might remain the metal frame building. Tenants would not be allowed to live in the units. The bathrooms on site will be provided in the office building along with a small conference room for meetings/gatherings if tenants want to use it.
Uses for the storage units will include storage of recreational vehicles such as classic cars, boats, campers, motor homes, four wheelers, motorcycles, etc. The units will not be used for commercial repair where there are many cars/customers waiting outside or coming and going on a regular bases.
Garage condos provides a “community” for car and recreational vehicle enthusiasts to congregate, showcase their holdings to other condo tenants and enjoy the comradery of like minded people.
Recreational vehicles from small to large can cost a lot of money and take up space on a residential lot and garage hobbies can be fun, but they also take up necessary space for daily functionality in a residential garage. This project will serve as a safe, secure space for storage and a great local option for garage hobbies.
