City Council! CU 05-07 June 20, 2005 Page 2 Existing Conditions The subject property is zoned 1-1 (Light Industrial) with 1-2 (J'vIedium Industrial) and Rl-c (Single Family Residential) districts adjacent to the property. The existing site contains an 18,500 square foot precast concrete building that currently provides storage space for both the streets and parks departments with a small office space for the street department. The site includes a large fenced yard that is used to store vehicles, equipment and products used for street and park maintenance. A great deal of this equipment is stored outdoors year round. On the south side of the yard (outside the fence) are concrete bunker/bins for compost drop off which have continuous public access. The surrounding uses include an industrial park to the west, vacant industrial land to the north and to the south of the project area are Oak Knoll Park and the High School baseball diamond. A large wetland complex and a baseball field (which will become public works maintenance yard in the future) are located along the western portion of the property. Overview The Public Works Department is proposing to construct a cold storage facility to store maintenance equipment. They are also proposing to construct a new salt/sand storage building, as the current structure is not structurally sound and needs to be removed for safety purposes. A majority of the yard is currently a Class- V surface that will be covered with asphalt. The compost and brush drop off area will be enlarged at the south end of the yard. This area will be screened with vegetation on a small berm. Analysis The proposal includes the removal of the existing salt/sand storage building and the removal of a small bunker style storage facility. The 80' x 100' salt/sand storage shed will consist of 16-foot tall poured-in-place concrete walls with a metal gable roof. This building also meets the ordinance requirements for approved materials. The 65' x 120' cold storage shed will consist of 4-foot tall poured-in-place concrete walls with 12-feet of metal panels (pole building) above that. The building will also include a metal gable roof. This building also meets the ordinance requirements for approved materials. Both building colors and style will be the same with the roofing and metal panels being gray with royal blue accent trim.
