PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT N0: CUP87-6 MARCH 24 , 1987 PURPOSE : This report is to review and recommend action on an application for a Conditional Use Permit . BACKGROUND• Name of Applicant : Merchants Refrigerating Company Address of Property : 325 Blake Road North Present Zoning : I-2 _ Nature of Request : Ordinance requires a Conditional Use Permit for construction over ^ $75 ,000 . Reason for Request : Increased business necessitates expansion of facility . The applicant is proposing three projects : the first is to add a 25 ,296 square foot refrigerated addition ; second to convert the existing truck court to a new dock with 10 doors ; and third to add a new truck dock addition with five doors . Both of the truck docks will also be refrigerated . All improvements will be located on the south side of the existing strueture . ANALYSIS: The proposed project will not affect any of the existing setbacks . The additions will give the site a Floor Area Ratio of .39 , the maximum in an I-2 District is .60 . The proposed refrigerator addition will be 38 feet high . The maximum height for an I-2 District is 35 feet , but because the mean ground level is determined by the elevation of the building that has frontage on a public road , the addition will not exceed the 35 feet requirement . The elevation of the building along Blake and Lake is higher than where the addition will be built . The site elevation is significantly lower than Blake Road . The elevation along Blake Road is 6-8 feet higher . The --� addition will appear lower because of the difference in elevations and is consistent with other buildings located in the area. The current building is approximately 22 feet high . N Q. CUP87-6 CUP87-6 .--� Page 2 The refrigerated new truck dock will be 20 ' x95 ' and fit between the offices and the existing truck door. The existing truck dock will be converted to a refrigerated truck dock . Currently the trucks are enclosed within the truek dock , after the remodeling the trucks will unload outside the dock . The current parking area is not striped . The applicant has agreed to stripe the area along Blake Road to better assist the staff in determining the specific number of spaces available . The proposed additions will not add any employees . There are additional areas on the site for parking if the applicant would ever need more parking . The proposed plan shows additional landscaping at the entrance and by the office along Blake Road . The exterior of the proposed additions will be insulated metal material with a light beige color to match the existing building . The staff has had considerable diseussions as relates to the appearance of the exterior of the addition . I have talked with the manufacturer of the � exterior material who has told me that because of a moisture problem that develops between the metal and other surfaces , it is impossible to put another surface on the exterior of the building . Super Valu has used this exterior material at their site on Jefferson Avenue and also at their perishable warehouse . I have contacted the applicant about our concerns with the exterior surface . The applicant is willing to work with the staff to improve the appearance of the exterior. The site is surrounded by multi-family dwellings on most sides . The residential district to the north-northeast is buffered by Minnehaha Creek . The apartments to the south are buffered by an open area and a railroad right-of-way . There are small portions of the I-2 Distriet abutting the subject site to the west and south . The proposed additions comply with the requirements for the I-2 District . The applicant has agreed to stripe the parking area and to provide landscaping along Blake Road . The staff would like to recommend that a significant amount of landseaping be provided around the 25 ,000 square foot addition to soften the affect of a long sterile beige building . Also a protective barrier should be located next �..., to this building to prevent damage by vehicles . ^ CUP87-6 Page 3 ALTERNATIVES• 1 . Approve the Conditional Use Permit 2 .
