CASE REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW; CASE OF BIJILDING FASTENERS, INC. By: Amy Geisler, Associate Planner Background: Building Fasteners, Inc. is proposing to construct an addition to an existing manufacturing building on the property located at 7100 Sunwood Drive. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) c) d) Site location map Site plan Building elevations City Staff review letter dated August 1, 2003 Notification: Site Plans do not require a public hearing. Observations: The applicant is proposing to construct an addition to an existing manufacturing building at the comer of Sunwood Drive and Jaspar Street NW. The property is zoned E-1 Employment (under the new zoning districts, to take effect August 25, 2003). Manufacturing facilities are a permitted use in this district. The site plan is proposing to develop an addition with a 30,588-square-foot footprint that will include 34,245 square feet of manufacturing space and 3,657 square feet of office space. The lot in question is approximately 3.3 acres in size. Lot coverage is restricted to 45% or approximately 65,644 Square feet. The proposed building's footprint (existing and addition) is approximately 61,992 square feet. The proposed site plan meets the required front, rear, and side yard setbacks. The landscaping plan is generally'acceptable, but additional trees and shrubs will be required to fully meet City Code requirements. The proposed addition appears to meet architectural standards for finish materials. Additional information on storm water discharge locations is required as to location of discharge and amount. The submitted site plan suggests semi trailer trucks may need to use the public right of way on Jaspar Street in order to back into the loading docks on the addition. Staff is requesting more information regarding the use of these docks. Recommendation: City Staff recommends site plan approval contingent upon compliance with City Staff .Review Letter dated August 1, 2003.
