The site plan is proposing to construct <br />phase II of Sunfish Gateway. The area is generally located in the northwest corner of McKinley <br />St. N.W. and Sunfish Lake Blvd. The subject property is zoned Industrial and the site plan is <br />proposing to construct a multi-tenant office and warehousing structure. The proposed activities <br />are permitted uses within the Industrial District. She explained the site plan is proposing to <br />construct a one-story 29,450 square foot building. The structure will be constructed with 14 <br />loading docks. The site plan complies with the front yard, rear yard, and side yard setbacks <br />established in the Industrial District. Phase II will derive access from existing access points that <br />are located on McKinley Street and Sunfish Lake Blvd. The off-street parking area will have a <br />bituminous surface and is finished with concrete curbing. The parking stalls are sufficient in <br />numbers and dimensions. The exterior building materials for the building are proposed to consist <br />of rockface concrete block and brick, which meets the architectural standards established in the <br />Industrial District. She stated that the landscaping plan has been reviewed and is generally <br />acceptable. A couple of modifications are needed as described in the attached review letter. The <br />facility will be served by City sewer and water services. A lighting plan will need to be submitted <br />and is subject to the City Engineers approval. The City approved phase I of Sunfish Gateway in <br />March of 2001. Future development of Sunfish Gateway will be subject to platting the 9.7 acre <br />properties. Future platting must be designed so that the existing phase I and proposed phase II <br />complies with all City Code requirements. Staff recommends approval of the site plan contingent <br />upon compliance with City Staff review letter dated November 30, 2001. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/December 4, 2001 <br />Page 16 of 18 <br /> <br />
