Case #8: Request for Site Plan Review; Case of Building Fasteners, Inc. Community Development Director Frolik stated that Building Fasteners, Inc. is proposing to construct an addition to an existing manufacturing building on the property located at 7100 Sunwood Drive. The applicant is proposing to construct an addition to an existing manufacturing building at the comer of Sunwood Drive and Jaspar Street NW. The property is zoned E-1 Employment (under the new zoning districts, to take effect August 25, 2003). Manufacturing facilities are a permitted use in this district. The site plan is proposing to develop an addition with a 30,757-square-foot footprint that will include 30,757 square feet of manufhcturing space and 2,578 square feet of office space. The lot in question is approximately 3.3 acres in size. Lot coverage is restricted to 45%, or approximately 65,644 square feet. The proposed building's footprint (existing and addition) is approximately 62,161 square feet. The proposed site plan meets the required front, rear, and side yard setbacks. The landscaping plan is generally acceptable, but additional trees and shrubs will be required to fully meet City Code requirements. The proposed addition appears to meet architectural standards for finish materials. Additional information on storm water discharge locations is required as to location of discharge and amount. The plan has been revised to eliminate one of the loading docks on the addition; this revision addresses staff concerns about potential semi-trailer truck maneuvering on the site. The Planning Commission and City staff recommended site plan approval contingent upon compliance with City Staff Review Letter dated August t, 2003, revised August 22, 2003. Motion by Councilmember Pearson, seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to grant approval of the proposed site plan for an addition to an existing manufacturing/office building contingent upon compliance with City staff review letter dated August 1, 2003, revised August 22, 2003. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, and Councilmembers Pearson, Elvig, Cook, Kurak, Strommen, and Zimmerman. Voting No: None.
