CASE # REQUEST FOUR SITE PLAN APPROVAL OF PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS AT 6246 HWY. #10 N.W.; CASE OF LANO BROTHERS By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: Lano Brothers ha~e acquired the former Geothermal property at 6246 Hwy. #10 N.W. They are intending to lease be building to an enclosed rental operation. The property is zoned B-3 Highway Business and as ~uch, all travelled and display areas of the property must be paved and curbed. Because of the in~tivity at this site for quite some time, the property has lost its non-conforming rights to conduct! business operations without the required site improvements being in place. Therefore, Brad l Lano has submitted an application for approval of the proposed site improvements. ~ Notification: Site plan reviews~ are not required to have a public hearing.' Notification of the pending site improvements (ad. dition of pavement and curbing) was not made to the area property owners because it is assumed that they will be a welcomed addition to the neighborhood. Observations: In accordance wit~ City Code, the site plan proposes to pave and curb the driveway and parking lot. There is also~ driveway entrance from Riverdale Drive N.W. on the rear side of the building that is proposed Ito be paved. City Code would require that this section of pavement also be finished with B-612 concrete curbing; the site plan should be modified accordingly. It is Staff's understanding that the rental business is not proposing to have any outside display area. Therefore,I no additional pavement beyond driveways and customer/employee parking is required. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Si~ location map b) SiM Plan c) Le~,~ter from City Engineer to Brad Lano dated November 1, 1995 d) City Staff Review Letter dated November 2, 1995 e) Pnbposed development permit Due to the applic~t's desire to get the site improvements installed before inclement weather so that the building could be leased over the winter, City Staff did give permission for the improvements to be installed in ~tvance of the Planning Commission and City Council approval after reviewing the site plan deta~,'ls. However, the applicant was only able to get the sidewalk and curbing installed prior to re snowfall and is therefore requesting permission to open up for business with a Class 5 parking l~t until Spring. The Planning commission reviewed the application on November 9. Mr. Brad Lano stated that he is willing to curb ~he perimeter of bituminous on the Riverdale side of the facility, but at this point in time he doesn'i know the extent of his tenant's pavement needs in that area of the site. The Planning CommiSsion recommended approval of the site plan with all pavement being finished with concrete cur~ing, knowing that the extent pavement on the Riverdale side of the facillity is a variable. They al~o recommended approval of occupancy of the building with a Class 5 parking lot for the winter¢onths contingent upon the applicant placing a financial guarantee with the City to ensure installaqon of pavement in the Spring.
