Memoto Mayorand City Council/CU 01-02 <br />Februa~ 20,2001 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Signs <br /> <br />One monument sign has been indicated along 171st Avenue. Wall signs have <br />not been identified at this time. The monument sign will be required to be utilized <br />for tenants in both portions of the building. Both the wall signs and monument <br />sign will need a sign permit prior to construction of the sign. <br />Dumpster <br /> <br />With the proposed expansion the dumpster is identified as being located at the <br />end of the proposed fire lane adjacent to the addition. The dumpster cannot be <br />located in this location as it conflicts with emergency access for fire protection <br />purposes. The applicant will need to find an alternative location for the dumpster. <br />The dumpster enclosure is proposed to be constructed out of concrete block <br />which will match the building materials and will comply with City Code. <br /> <br />Outdoor Stora,qe <br /> <br />Outdoor storage is a conditional use in the I1 zoning district. The dumpster and <br />recycling enclosure will hold recycled metal and trash. Outdoor storage should <br />be limited to this area. Damaged or inoperable vehicles should be stored inside. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Action <br /> <br />The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding the request at <br />its January 23, 2001 meeting. No one spoke for or against the request. The <br />applicant presented an alternative to reducing the building ten feet in order to <br />resolve the issue of excess slope on the fire lane noted in the City Engineer's <br />memo. The applicant's solution was to build a retaining wall in the pond to create <br />a fiat fire lane. The City Engineer stated that in his opinion, the site is maximized <br />to the fullest extent possible, and that no further concessions can be made. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the <br />request as recommended by staff, with the reduction in building area. The <br />Commission also added another condition: <br /> <br />1. That the addition shall comply with all requirements of the Chief Building <br /> Official. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the <br />request for a 5,600 square foot expansion with the following conditions: <br /> <br />1. That the City Engineer's comments be incorporated into the site plan. <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING~VllCHMC\CCREPRTS\CU01-02.DOC <br /> <br /> <br />
