Memo to Mayor and City Councfl/LeFebvre Requests Page 3 July 29, 1996 As part of the platting of the property, various road improvements will be necessary. First of all, 171st is planned to be upgraded from Highway 10 to the eastern limits of the plat. This improvement will include a 52 foot wide road with curb and gutter designed for four lanes of traffic as it extends east of Highway 10. This road is identified on the draft transportation plan as a minor arterial as it extends further north crossing 171st, 173rd, County Road No. 12 and ultimately connecting with County Road No. 13. The second street improvement will include the extension of Ulysses Street from its current termination in Rail 10 Industrial Park. The extension will tie Ulysses Street which is now a cul-de-sac into 171st, providing a second access point to Raft 10 Industrial Park. Conditional Use Permit Planned unit developments require a conditional use permit be submitted along with the application for the site plan review. LeFebvre Companies is proposing a 16, 380 square foot truck facility which has approximately 4,500 square feet of office space and 11,880 square feet for trucking warehouse. The trucking storage area will have four separate bays of which one will be used for storage, another as a wash bay, and two as service bays. The overhead doors to access these bays will be on both the west and east side of the building. The site plan's general layout includes a building oriented towards 171st so the office portion is facing the more heavily traveled road. To the rear of the building is a gravel surface that will be used for truck storage. The parking area in front of the office and along the west side of the building (along Ulysses Street) will be fully improved with a bituminous surface and concrete curb and gutter per the city's standards. The curb and gutter will also extend along the outdoor storage area which is adjacent to Ulysses Street. In reviewing the landscape plan, staffs general concerns were to have the plan reflect an adequate amount of screening along Ulysses Street as well as along 171st in areas that will assist in screening the outdoor storage area. Other than the screening issue, the required number of plant material based on the city's performance standards will need to be provided throughout the site. The construction of the building will consist of prefabricated concrete panels along with an architectural metal incorporated above the overhead doors, as well as along the front of the office building. It is anticipated that the prefabricated concrete panels will not be painted but have an unfinished surface at this time. s:\council\p96-8.doc
