Primary Issues to Consider.
. What is the zoning and of the property, and how has the Comprehensive Plan
designated the subject site?
The property is zoned B-1, Limited Business. The Comprehensive Plan has designated the
site as commercial. The proposed use complies with both of these documents.
. What are the specifics of the office building?
Exterior
The upper level will have a brick veneer and the roof will be a pre-finished standing seam
aluminum roof. Stone accents will be used at the window sills and belt course. The lower
level will have an exterior of precast concrete,
Landscaping
The site is required to have 15 trees. The landscape plan indicates 15 Skyline Honey Locust
trees of the required size. These 15 trees are along the west, south and east sides of the site
e perimeter. The landscape plan also indicates heavy landscaping with shrubs on the west and
east sides of the building.
Parking
The site plan indicates 38 spaces on the site. The applicant's use requires 34 parking spaces.
Of the 38 parking spaces, 18 will be underground. There is the ability to add five additional
spaces on the site, if they are ever needed.
Access
The access to the site is from Second Avenue South on the north side of the site.
Trash
The trash area will be located in the parking garage. This will meet the requirement of
having the trash area screened.
Building Inspections
The Building Inspection Division has reviewed the proposed development and made the
following comments:
. . Handicapped van accessible parking spaces, access aisles or curb ramps will have to
CR99-99
Page 3
. be added in the parking area and underground garage.
. The exit on the east side of the office area is not handicap accessible, and there may
be a dead-end corridor in the office area. These items should be reviewed when
actual construction drawings are prepared.
Public Works
Public Works has reviewed the site plans and has the following comments:
. City Code requires the developer to submit a storm water management plan.
. The grading and utility plan needs to be revised. No erosion control measures are
shown, no information or detail concerning storm structures is shown, no public
utilities or proposed hookups are shown.
. Water and sanitary sewer are located within the subject property. These need to be
located, shown on this plan, and the City will require a utility easement and a
condition.
. A watershed district permit is required.
. After the Zoning and Planning meeting, the Engineering Department again reviewed the
location of the curb cut. The location of the proposed curb cut is similar to other sites in the
City and is acceptable. A similar curb cut situation is the Big Wheel Rossi site on Blake
Road.
Fire Marshal
The Fire Marshal has reviewed the proposed office building and found it acceptable.
Setbacks
The following are the proposed and the roning requirements for the B-1 district:
required proposed
Front yard 20 feet 20 feet

. Surrounding uses
The site is surrounded by an office use to the north, residential to the west, Highway 169 to
the east, and a medical clinic to the south. The residential area to the west is buffered from
the site with a berm and large evergreen trees.
. What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Ms. Anderson reviewed the proposed development with the Commission. Ms. Anderson
noted that the previous approved development in 1984 for this site was a two-story building
with another level below grade and that the proposed development was one-story with a
parking area below grade. Ms. Anderson also stated that the height of the proposed building
met the requirements of the zoning ordinance.
Craig Hinrichs of621 Park Valley Drive appeared before the Commission. Mr. Hinrichs was
concerned with the height of the building and the access to the site. Mr. Hinrichs stated that
there was a public safety issue with the location of the curb cut.
Paul Madson, the architect for the project, appeared before the Commission. Mr. Madson
discussed the height of the building and the location of the curb cut. Mr. Madson stated that
the building was a one-story building and the curb cut had been moved as far north as
. possible.
Pete Donnino, the applicant, appeared before the Commission. Mr. Donnino stated that they
have oriented the building to the east to be farther away from the residential area.
The Commission discussed the height of the building and the access to the site. The
Commission discussed whether there was any way of additionally buffering the sight lines of
the windows on the west side of the building from the residential area. One suggestion was
to add additional trees to the berm on the west side of Second Avenue, subject to review from
the Public Works department. The applicant was agreeable to this.
At the public hearing, Robert Buys of 605 East Park Valley Drive appeared before the
Commission. Mr. Buys thought that new/and or additional trees to the berm on the west side
of Second Avenue would help.
Alternatives.
1. Approve the conditional use permit. By approving the conditional use permit, the
applicant will be able to construct the building as proposed.
2. Deny the conditional use permit. By denying the conditional use permit, the applicant
. will not be able to construct the building as proposed. If the City Council considers this
alternative, findings will have to be identified that support this alternative.
