Ms. Frolik noted that the applicant has requested that this Case be tabled until later in the evening when the applicant can be present. Refer to Page 11 for further action. Case # 2: Request for Site Plan Approval, Case of Bernie Vevea,Ve-Ve, Inc. Ms. Frolik stated that the City received an application from Mr. Bernie Vevea of Ve-Ve, Inc. for site plan approval to construct a 60' x 90' expansion to his existing facility at 14047 Azurite Street N.W. Ms. Frolik stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed Mr. Vevea's site plan on October 16, 1990 and recommended approval contingent upon compliance with the City Engineer's report dated October 11, 1990 with the following exceptions: a. The requirement for 50% other than metal exterior walls be waived. b0 The requirement for blacktopping and curbing be waived until Azurite Street is improved, with a letter of credit to be deposited with the City to guarantee construction of the improvements. c. The submission of building plans certified by the engineer or architect be waived. Ms. Frolik noted that the Planning and Zoning Commission may waive the requirement for certified plans for their own purposes but the Building Official cannot waive the requirement and will be requiring certified plans for his purposes. Ms. Frolik also noted that the Building Official has informed Mr. Vevea that according to the Uniform Building Code, Mr. Vevea's facility type is limited to a maximum of 16,000 square feet without installation of a sprinkler system. Mr. Vevea is proposing an expansion that would bring his facility to 17,240 square feet. Ms. Frolik also noted that there has been a concerted effort in the past two years to bring pre-existing facilities into compliance with performance standards at the time of expansion. Mr. Bernie Vevea was present and stated that he feels to require paving and curbing his property when Azurite is not improved is not a reasonable requirement. He also noted that in his expansion plans he could not afford to include paving and curbing. Mr. Vevea stated that he has investigated the cost of installing a sprinkler system in his facility with no municipal water services available and that cost is estimated at $40,000.00. Mr. Vevea also thinks a sprinkler system is an unreasonable expense for an expansion that will exceed the UBC standards by 1,240 feet. Mr. Vevea again asked that the City waive the requh'ements for a sprinkling system within his facility. Ms. Frolik reiterated that the requirement for a sprinkling system is established by the Uniform Building Code and the City does not have the authority to waive that. At this point, Mr. Vevea requested that the City Council table his request for site plan approval. Motion by Councilmember Cich and seconded by Councilmember Pearson to table action on Mr. Bernie Vevea's request for site plan approval for an expansion to Ve-Ve, Inc.
