CASE CASE REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW; OF DAVID HAUAN, DAVE'S CUSTOM DIGGING By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: Dave Hauan is requesting site plan approval to construct a 1,568 office building with outside storage for trucks and equipment on Lot 3, Block 2, HY- 10 Ramsey Addition a) Site location map b) i Site plan, topography plan, foundation plan, building elevations, plot plan and floor plan c) City Staff review letter dated May 28, 1996 Observations: The office btv21ding is designed to front on Armstrong Blvd., but access would be derived from 146th Avenue. The office structure is proposed at 1,568 square feet and the exterior walls will be ~onstructed of vinyl siding with brick trim on the building front. The building meets the structure setback requirements from Armstrong Blvd., 146th Avenue and property line~. The site will be served by on-site septic and well. City Code requires a 20 foot wide landscaped area along all streets and outside storage must be screeged from public roms. The site plan text proposes a screening along Armstrong Bl~vd. and 146th Avenue to consist of 5'-6' pine trees spaced 10 feet apart. The site plan should be modified to verify that the 20 foot wide yard along Armstrong and 146th is provii:led. Staff is also suggesting that some plantings be established along the building front!and a 5 foot berm be constructed along Armstrong Blvd. and 146th to intensify the ~fect of the tree screening. In accordance~with City Code, the customer/employee parking lot is proposed to be paved; the site plan s§ould be modified to provide B-612 concrete curbing around the perimeter of the parking lot~. Mr. Hauan is requesting a waiver from the Code requirement to pave the outside storag~ yard for tracks and equipment In the past, the Planning Commission and Council have i~educed this requirement to Class 5 in the heavy industrial districts. If the waste storage area is to be outdoors, the site plan must be modified to provide for a screened container. The City Engi?eer is requiring a Drainage Plan to provide a detention pond in the northeast comer of the site to limit runoff to the site's predevelopment condition. Material excavated for the pond could be used to construct the screening berm. Recommendation: City Staff recommends site plan approval contingent upon compliance with City Staff review letter.
