The plan proposes to construct an office/warehouse building on Lot 4, <br />Block 1, Gateway North Industrial Park. The following items are enclosed: <br /> <br />a) Site location map <br />b) Site plan <br />c) City Staff Review Letter dated October 30, 1998 <br />d) Planning Commission meeting minutes dated November 2, 1998 <br />e) Proposed development permit <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The office/warehouse use is consistent with the permitted uses in the Business Warehouse <br />District. The site is approximately 1.9 acres in size and the building will be 6,592 square feet in <br />size. This equates to a lot coverage of 23%, which is in compliance with City Code. The <br />exterior walls of the building are proposed to be a combination of brick and stucco. The building <br />will not exceed the 35 foot height restriction. <br /> <br />The plan shows one access onto 143rd Avenue N.W. and two accesses onto Jaspar Street N.W. <br />Code states that loading doors should be located on the rear wall of buildings; the Council has <br />deviated from that requirement in the past. The proposed building will have 3 overhead doors on <br />the front wall and 3 on the rear wall. The level of activity anticipated at the overhead doors on <br />the front wall is proposed to be minimal. <br /> <br />The driveways and customer/employee parking areas will be surfaced with bituminous and <br />finished with B-612 concrete curbing. The plan indicates a maximum of 14 employees on the <br />site at any given time; 23 parking spaces are proposed. The applicant is proposing that the <br />43,000 square foot staging area on the south side of the building be surfaced with crushed <br />concrete because their track equipment will destroy a bituminous surface. The City permitted <br />AEC to surface their staging area with a gravel surface. <br /> <br />A waste storage enclosure is provided inside the staging area and will be constructed of brick and <br />stucco with a wood gate {o match the principal building. <br /> <br />.37 <br /> <br /> <br />
