Case #5: Request for Site Plan Review; Case of Sharp and Associates, LLC Associate Planner Gladhill stated this case deals with the Panther Precision expansion of approximately 2600 sq. ft. addition on Lots 1 and lA of TC Trail. He stated drainage, grading, and landscape plans are generally acceptable, subject to the staff review letter. He noted the revised plans identify the flag lot and increased landscape requirements have been shifted onto the Outlot to the east, which is City owned property. Associate Planner Gladhill stated setbacks conform and the building is proposed to be constructed of precast rib panels with smooth architectural elements. The Planning Commission met on August 7, 2008 to discuss the site plan and recommended approval. Staff recommends approval conditioned on the staff letter dated August 1, 2008 and revised on August 8, 2008. Mayor Gamec asked if the landscaping would be shifted to the Outlot. Associate Planner Gladhill stated staff is working with the applicant to shift landscaping to the Outlot in order to accommodate the size of facility they want to build. Economic Development Coordinator Sullivan explained that CT Trail wants to make the pond an amenity. The pond configuration has some contour and the intent is to allow them to utilize some trees off site so it looks better. Councilmember Elvig asked staffto describe the property to the south. Economic Development Coordinator Sullivan stated that property is owned by Rotary Systems, another manufacturing company and it fronts on Azurite Street. Councilmember Elvig commented that he did a fair amount of landscaping on his site and described the resulting problems with storage of snow. He noted that snow on the flag lot and roadway will have to be plowed to the south and dumped onto the area of landscaping. He stated his concern whether there is a friendly neighbor to the south that will allow snow to be plowed onto their lot. Mayor Gamec noted there is a large area between the building and Rotary Systems. Associate Planner Gladhill advised that Hakanson Anderson made the flag portion of the lot larger so it could accommodate snow storage. Their engineer felt there would be sufficient width for a blacktop drive plus snow storage. City Council / August 12, 2008 Page 14 of26
