Memo to Planning Commission/CU00-10 <br />April 25, 2000 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />conditional use permit for a feedlot. The conditional use permit allowed Cargill to <br />upgrade their swine research facilities. <br /> <br />This request is to amend the conditional use permit for the feedlot to allow the <br />construction of a building consisting of 9,216 square feet of cold storage and <br />insulated shop space, and 2,176 square feet of office/employee break space. <br /> <br />Analysis <br /> <br />Building Design <br /> <br />Cargill is proposing to demolish 2 existing storage buildings totaling 12,630 <br />square feet and replace them with a new 11,392 square foot L-shaped building. <br />The shop/storage portion will be 144 feet long and 64 feet wide and the <br />office/employee break area will be 64 feet long and 34 feet wide. The office/break <br />area will include office space, a lunchroom, a changing room and restrooms. <br /> <br />This new building will be located in the same area as the two buildings that were <br />demolished. The building will be located near the front of their facility along 165th <br />Avenue. The building will be constructed of colored steel to match the other <br />buildings. <br /> <br />Access and Parking <br /> <br />A 16 stall parking area adjacent to the building is proposed. No new access <br />drives are proposed. The building will be accessed via existing driveways from <br />165th Street. <br /> <br />Landscaping <br /> <br />Included as a condition of the 1995 conditional use permit was a vague <br />landscaping requirement which reads, "That trees be planted along 165th <br />Avenue near the security fence to act as a visual enhancement to the farm site." <br />No trees are shown on the site plan. Existing landscaping includes 19 pines <br />trees, about 2 - 3 feet tall, planted along 165th Avenue. There are also 5 <br />overstory trees. The facility has about 800 feet of frontage on 165th Avenue. <br />Additional landscaping should be included as part of this amendment. The <br />plantings should be similar to what was planted on the west side of the adjacent <br />caretakers residence. The applicant should work with staff on a landscape plan <br />that provides additional trees along 165th Avenue. <br /> <br />Document2 <br /> <br /> <br />
