Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that Kenko is requesting site plan approval to construct an office building and a maintenance building on Lot 3, Block 1, HY-10 Ramsey 4th Addition, and Lot 2, Block 1, HY-10 Ramsey 3rd Addition. The office building is designed to front Armstrong Boulevard but access would be derived from 147th Avenue and Ferret Street. The office structure and maintenance building meet City Code requirements for architectural standards, however, accessory buildings are restricted to 30% of the floor area of the principal structure. If we consider the office accessory to the maintenance activity on the site, then the office structure would be restricted to an area of 1,800 feet. Due to the substantial improvements proposed to the site, staff and the Planning Commission are recommending that the 30% size restriction of the office building be waived. The buildings meet the structure setback requirements from Armstrong Boulevard, 147th Avenue and Ferret Street. Although the maintenance building would only be subject to a 10-foot rear yard setback along Ferret Street because the site is designed to front Armstrong Boulevard, the Planning Commission expressed concern that the City Staff Review Letter indicated that the maintenance building also meets a 40-foot setback along the Ferret Street property line. Staff only mentioned the fact that the building can also meet a 40-foot setback along Ferret Street as a plus for the development to be compatible with other development that might occur on Ferret Street and no relocation of the structure is required. Ms. Frolik explained that City Code requires a 20-foot deep landscape area. This is met on Armstrong Boulevard but the applicant is requesting 10-foot deep landscaping on Ferret. The applicant has indicated that a bituminous surface around the maintenance building would not hold up to the wear and tear of the substantial equipment to be serviced on the site. The Planning Commission has recommended waiving the pavement and curbing requirements in these and the customer/employee parking areas; B-612 concrete curbing is required and the site should be modified City Council/May 23, 1995 Page 5 of 18
