Case #4: Digging Request for a Site Plan Review; Case of David Hauan, Dave's Custom Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that Mr. Hauan is requesting Site Plan Approval to construct an office building with outside storage for tracks and equipment. The office building is designed to front on Armstrong Boulevard, but access would be derived from 146th Avenue. The office structure is proposed at 1,568 square feet and the exterior walls will be constructed of vinyl siding with brick trim on the building front. The building meets the structure setback requirements from Armstrong Boulevard, 146th Avenue and property lines. The site will be served by on-site septic and well. City Code requires a 20 foot wide landscaped area along all streets and outside storage must be screened from public roads. The site plan text proposes screening along Armstrong Boulevard, and 146th Avenue to consist of 5'-6' pine trees spaced 10 feet apart. The site plan should be modified to verify that the 20 foot wide yard along Armstrong and 146th is provided. Staffis also suggesting that some plantings be established along the building from and a 5 foot berm be constructed along Armstrong Boulevard and 146th to intensify the effect of the tree screening. In accordance with City Code, the customer/employee parking lot is proposed to be paved; the site plan should be modified to provide B-612 concrete curbing around the perimeter of the parking lot. Mr. Hauan is requesting a waiver from the Code requirement to pave the outside storage yard for tracks and equipment. In the past, the Planning Commission and Council have reduced this requirement to Class 5 in the heavy industrial districts. If the waste storage area is to be outdoors, the site plan must be modified to provide for a screened container. The City Enghneer is requiting a Drainage Plan to provide a detention pond in the Northeast comer of the site to limit runoff to the site's predevelopment condition. Material excavated for the pond could be used to construct the screening berm. Planning Commission/June 4, 1996 Page 6 of 12
