Case #2: Request for Site Plan Review for an Expansion to Alloy Recovery; Case of Jon Schwartzman Zoning Administrator Frolik reported that Jon Schwartzman of Alloy Recovery Company at 7060 142nd Avenue N.W. has applied for site plan approval for a 9,000 square foot expansion to their existing aluminum processing facility. The site is located on the north side of the railroad tracks. The proposed expansion meets City Code requirements for lot coverage, setbacks, and number of off-street parking spaces. The site plan issued in 1991 for the initial consm~ction of the facility waived the 50% other than metal requirement for exterior finish. In accordance with the previously approved site plan, the lower half of the front wall of the expansion will have horizontal vinyl siding and brick molding applied to it; the remaining walls will be fibbed metal panels. When the original building was constructed, the City also waived the requirement for curbing the perimeter of bituminous behind the building but required that pavement be finished with B-612 curbing from the front of the building to the street. To date, the curbing has not be installed. Staff recommends that the current site plan be modified to include curbing the perimeter of all bituminous from the front of the building to the street. The site plan approved in 1991 also proposed to establish some plantings, and it doesn't appear that those trees have been established on the site or, if they were, they have not survived. Staff visited the site on February 20, and it's apparent that even with the building expansion bringing more of the site operations indoors, some substantial screening is necessary to screen outside operations from public view at 142nd Avenue, Ramsey Boulevard, and Planning Commission/April 2, 1996 Page 6 of 18 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I, I I I
