CASE CASE OF REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL; GLEN RYCHNER, ALUMINUM RECYCLING, INC. By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: Mr. Glen Rychner of Aluminum Recycling, Inc. is proposing to develop and operate an aluminum processing plant on Lot 2, Block 1, Gateway North Industrial Park. The subject property is approximately 2.58 acres in size and is zoned B-W Business Warehouse. Observations: Mr. Rychner is proposing to construct a 40' x 41' building to house the office, material receiving area, shop area and transmission/engine disassembly area. He is proposing to construct a second building measuring 40' x 48' to house up to two melt furnaces. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) e) f) g) h) Site location map Site plan Main/office building plans Furnace building plans (including alternate proposal for furnace building) Memo from Building Official dated 3/'7/91 City Engineer's review letter dated March 18, 1991 Memo from Building Official dated 3/21/91 Letter from Mate Punch and Die dated 3/21/91 The main building is proposed to have 50% other than metal exterior on one wall. City Code requires 50% other than metal on any building .wall that is adjacent to other existing or future su-uctures or streets. There is a proposal for a furnace building that is basically a one-walled structure with a roof. The alternate furnace building plan shown on the same plan sheet consists of a 4-walled structure with several large sliding doors to provide adequate air flow for cooling purposes. According to City Code, this accessory structure is also subject to the other than 50% metal requirement for exterior wails. City Code also states that accessory structures in the B-W Disrr/ct are lirnited to 30% of the ~oss floor space of the principal building. Mr. Rychner's proposal for the furnace building exceeds that requirement. You will note that Item #2 of the City Engineer's review letter indicates that buildings proposed on the site conform to the 35% maximum lot coverage; the 35% lot coverage requirement 8¢piies to Indusmal zones and not the B-W zone. The site has no access to an improved street. Item g9 of the City Engineer's review letter will provide background on the status of construction of improved streets in Gateway North Industrial Park. Mr. Ralph Williams has assumed ownership of the plat and has made an application to the City. to vacate the western half of 142nd Avenue and Lknonite Street; he would be willing to construct 142nd Avenue far enough into the plat to access Mr. Rychner's lot with a cul-de-sac. The City Engineer's recommendation is that site plan approval not be granted until the issue of the streets is resolved.
