By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik 'Background: Kenko is requesting ~ite plan approval to construct an office building and a maintenance building on Lot 3, Block 1,I HY-10 Ramsey 4th Addition, and Lot 2, Block 1, HY-10 Ramsey 3rd Addition. a) b) c) d) Site l~afion map Site l~l. an, grading plan, building elevations, floor plans ' City Staff review letter dated April 26, 1995, Revision Date May 18, 1995 PropOsed Site Plan Development Permit Notification: The proposed development is located in an industrial park and is surrounded by industrial uses. City Code does not ~require a public hearing process for site plans. It is staffs opinion that the proposed developme~at presents no adverse impacts to surrounding uses and has not notified any of the adjacent prope~ owners of the pending development. Observations: The office building i~; designed to front Armstrong Blvd. but access would be derived from 147th Avenue and Ferret S~reet. The office structure Is a 2-story, 2,200 square foot building proposed to be constructed of rock or broken face concret~ block. The maintenance building is 6,000 square feet with a 750 square foot mezzanine Ievel andes proposed to be constructed of pre-cast concrete panels. The buildings meet City Code requirements for architectural standards. However, accessory buildings are restricted to 30% of the floor ar'ga of the principal structure. If we consider the office accessory to the maintenance activi~ on the site, then the office structure would be restricted to an area of 1,800 square feet. In lieu ~)f the substantial improvements proposed to the site, staff and the Planning Commission are rec~am~ending that the 30% size restriction on the office building be waived. The buildings meet ~e structure setback requkements from Armstrong Blvd., 147th Avenue and Ferret Street. AlthoUgh the maintenance building would only be subject to a 10 foot rear yard setback along Ferret~ Street because the site is designed to front Armstrong Blvd., the Planning Commission expressed concern that the City Staff Review Letter indicated that the maintenance building also meets a~ 40 foot setback along the Ferret Street property line. Staff only mentioned the fact that the buil~ling can also meet a 40 foot setback along Ferret Street as a plus for the development to be ebmpafible with other development that might occur on Ferret Street and no relocation of the structure is require& The site will be serv~ by on-site septic and well. Section 9.11.09 of the City Code requires a landscaped area along all streets and outside storage must be screened from the public right-of-way. The site plan proposes a landscaped four foot berm along Armstror~g Blvd. that wraps around the northeast comer of the site to screen equipment storage from traffic t~velling south on Armstrong Blvd. Screening consisting of a combination of fencing and trees is ~roposed to screen equipment storage from 147th Avenue, Ferret Street, the driveway to the offic~ building, and the adjacent lot to the east.
