TITLE <br />ESCROW # <br />113792 <br />DEPARTMENT: <br />Planning <br />TECHNICAL REVIEWER: <br />Name: Tina Goodroad <br />Phone: 651-967-4537 <br />Email: tina.goodroad@stantec.com <br />We offer the following comments regarding your request for site plan review approval. <br />General: The request is for Site Plan Review approval to begin concrete product production on <br />site with a 10,000 sq. ft. addition to the existing 60,092 sq. ft. existing facility (former Oldcastle <br />Precast). The applicant is proposing this use located at 6820 143rd Avenue NW. <br />Zoning: The subject property is zoned E-2 Employment District. The intent of this district is to <br />accommodate general industrial activities. The E-2 District allows manufacturing uses as a permitted use. <br />The site plan indicates an existing area for outdoor storage at the southwest portion of the site. This outdoor <br />storage meets the accessory use limits of 30% of the property and will remain within these perimeters with <br />the additional 10,000 sq. ft. <br />Site Plan: The applicant is proposing a 10,000 square foot expansion to the east wall of the <br />existing building in an area presently covered with an impervious surface. The building addition <br />will accommodate expansion of the existing manufacturing uses. Access to the site will be <br />unchanged and there appears to be no impact to existing landscaping areas. Full drive circulation <br />will be provided around the building and its expansion. Existing loading docks will remain. <br />The site meets the E-2 standards for lot size, lot area, lot width and impervious surface. The <br />building addition meets all required building and parking setback requirements. <br />Parking: Required parking is based on the proposed use. The expansion includes 10,000 square <br />feet of additional manufacturing space. The zoning ordinance requires one space for each 1,000 <br />square feet of industrial or ten (10) additional parking spaces above the sixty (60) required for <br />the existing building. The site has sixty-seven (67) existing parking stalls along north property <br />line where seventy (70) are required. However, the revised plans also indicate ten (10) proof of <br />parking stalls, which Staff finds acceptable based on the proposed use of the expansion area. <br />Landscaping: One (1) new tree per every 1,000 square feet of building addition is required. Based <br />on the proposed addition, ten (10) trees must be planted across the site. Deciduous trees shall be <br />
