The following items are enclosed: a) b) c) d) e) Site location map Site plan City Staff review letter dated October 2, 1997 Draft Planning Commission meeting minutes dated October 7, 1997 Proposed development permit Notification: Because site plans are not required to be subjected to a public hearing and because the site is surrounded by commercial properties, no notification of the pending development was forwarded to area property owners. Observations: The site plan proposes to construct an accessory building on the site for the purpose of providing two additional service bays for automotive repairs. The building is proposed to be sided with vertical wood siding to be compatible with the exterior finish on the principal building. This exterior finish choice deviates from code requirements for natural or prefabricated stone, but Council has the option to approve it. The size of the structure exceeds the code restriction for limits on accessory building sizes but code also gives Council the option to approve those deviations. The site plan for the expansion is in compliance with lot coverage restrictions and number of parking spaces. The site was recently paved so the design of the parking spaces is in compliance. However, because the pavement project was initiated without prior review by City Staff, the required curbing and green space were omitted from the project. The location of the accessory building is in compliance with the required front and side yard setbacks. The proposed building is not in compliance with the 35 foot rear yard setback; and the applicant will go before the Board of Adjustment for a variance on October 28, 1997. The Planning Commission reviewed the site plan on October 7.
