-- The applicant is proposing to construct a 1 �4 , 500 square
foot building on the empty lot �ust north of the
present site of the Warrington building at 601 2nd
Avenue South. 427 .26 (e ) requires a Conditonal Use
Permit for construction valued over $75, 000.

Page 2
The applicant is required to have 25 trees . The
applicant is proposing to have 31 trees of various
types . The applicant will also be retaining many of
the existing trees on the sitE .
Access to the site will be from 2nd Avenue at the north
end of the site . The parking area will be connected to
the building by a 5 f�ot concrete walk .
The applicant will contact the Watershed Distriet and
obtain approval if necessary.
The exterior of the building will be brick .
The applicant has contacted the neighborhood
organization .
The Director of Engineering has reviewed the drainage ,
as of the date of this report and saw no problems with
the plan .
The Fire Marshal has reviewed the plans and noted that
a fire door will have to be constructed in the link,
however , the final placement will be done at the
building permit stage .
The applicant may in the future construet another
building to the north of this building , however, at
that time the applicant will have to apply for another
Conditional Use Permit and have the development
reviewed at that time .
The applicant has not detailed the lighting for the
parking area , however the lighting will have to conform
to 427 .44 whieh requires the lighting to be shaded or
diffused from the ad�oining property and away from
abutting traffic .
ANALYSIS: The proposed building meets the requirements
for the B-1 District with the exception of the link to
the existing building . However, if this link is removed
the proposed building could exist independently and
conform to the ordinanee . The heights of the buildings
along Second Avenue has been a concern of the abutting
neighborhood , however, With the proposed elevations
— this building will be lower than the present Warrington
Building . The applieant is proposing to leave many of
«
j

the existing trees whieh will also minimize the impact
to the surrounding area .

Findings of Fact should the Commission recommend
approval:
1 . The proposed building meets the requirements
for the B-1 District .
