CASE CASE OF REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL; GLEN RYCHNER, ALUMINUM RECYCLING, INC. By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: 'M~'. 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 50' 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) Site location map Site plan Main/office building plans Furnace building plans (the totally enclosed alternate pictured in the upper right hand comer is proposed) City Engineer's review letter dated May 10, 1991 Proposed site plan development permit Both the office and the furnace building are proposed to be metal buildings. City Code requires 50% other than metal on any building wall that is adjacent to other existing or future structures or streets. On April 23, City Council indicated acceptance of the applicant's proposal to only "dress up" the front wall of the office building. The site has no access to an improved street. Per Council's direction on April 23, the proposed site plan development permit restricts issuance of a building permit until 142nd Avenue is constructed to Class 5 standards to a point 160 feet west of the northeast comer of the subject lot and a financial guarantee is placed with the City to guarantee the construction of all of 142nd Avenue to Class 5 standards. The certificate of occupancy is proposed not to be issued until 142nd Avenue has been completed to Class 5 standards. The site plan does not indicate whether hard surfacing, curb or gutter is being proposed. The proposed development permit requires bituminous surfacing of the driveway, parking areas, storage areas and loading areas, but only requires curbing on the border of paved areas up to the front building line per the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission. The conditional use permit that was approved by Council on April 23 requires the applicant to screen the exterior storage area. The site plan does not propose any screening of the fenced storage area. City Staff is recommending that the screening be accomplished with privacy strips installed in the fence. Due to time constraints, the City Attorney was not given the opportunity to review the proposed site plan development permit prior to distribution of this case. The Attorney's input to the permit should be solicited at the meeting.
