By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: On September 28, 1990, the City received an application from Mr. Bernie Vevea of Ve-Ve, Inc. for site plan approval to construct a 60'x90' (5,400 square foot) expansion to his existing facility located at 14047 Azurite Street N.W. The existing facility is developed on two lots of record totalling approximately 2.25 acres. On October 16, 1990, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed Mr. Vevea's proposed site plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended site plan approval contingent upon compliance with items contained in the City Engineer's Review Letter dated October 11, 1990 with the following exceptions: a) b) The requirement for 50% other than metal exterior walls was waived in order that the proposed expansion would be consistent with the existing facility. The requirement for blacktopped and curbed access and parking was waived until such time as Azurite Street is improved, including storm sewer. However, a letter of credit would be required to guarantee construction of the improvements at the appropriate time. c) The requirement for submission of building plans certified by an engineer or architect was waived for the Planning and Zoning Commission purposes. On October 23, 1990, the City Council reviewed the proposed site plan for expansion of Ve-Ve, Inc. At that time, it was noted that the submission of building plans certified by an engineer or acrhitect may be waived for purposes of the Planning and Zoning Commission, but the Building Official cannot waive same and will be requiring certified plans. It was also noted that with the proposed expansion, Mr. Vevea's facility had reached the threshold where an automatic sprinkler system would be required. At that time, Mr. Vevea doubted that the expansion could move forward if he were required to install a sprinkler system and provide an escrow guaranteeing the installation of the blacktop and curbing. Mr. Vevea then requested that his request for site plan approval be tabled and Council d/d SO. In October of 1991, Mr. Vevea approached City Staff with a proposal for a way to meet the City's standards and proceed with his expansion. Mr. Vevea is proposing to construct his addition with fire wails and thereby eliminate the need for an automatic sprinkler system. Mr. Vevea has suggested that his certificate of occupancy for the sumcture be used in place of the financial guarantee for curbing and blacktop improvements. Mr. Vevea is proposing that he receive a temporary certificate of occupancy upon installation of the concrete curbing and no final certificate of occupancy will be issued until the bituminous surface has been installed. The deadline for installing the improvements is July 1, 1992. Therefore, if the bituminous surfacing is not installed by that date, Mr. Vevea will lose his right to occupy the facility until those improvements are completed. 8;l.
