Cond. Use Permit-Knox LumberPlanning Commission Report -. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - KNOX LUMBER 250 Fifth Avenue South PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT NO: CUP87 -10 APRIL 21, 198 PURPOSE: To review and recommend action on a Conditional Use Permit to remodel the existing Knox building and to construct a warehouse west of the existing Knox building. Name of Applicant: Knox Lumber Company Address of Property: 250 5th Avenue South Present Zoning: I -2 Nature of Request: Ordinance requires a Conditional Use Permit for construction over $75,000. Reason for Request: To construct a 27,744 square foot warehouse and to remodel the existing Knox Store. The applicant is proposing to construct a 27,744 square foot warehouse adjacent to the existing Knox store. The applicant has leased this 3 acre parcel from R.L. Johnson. The existing Knox store will also be remodeled. The present store entrance facing east will be relocated to the north side of the building and the interior of the—building will be changed to accommodate the new entrance. Thirty more parking stalls will be added. The garden center at the southeast side of the site will also be remodeled. The proposed warehouse will consist of 20,664 square feet which will be enclosed and 7,080 square feet will be a canopy covered warehouse. With this warehouse addition, the applicant will be able to remove the semi- trucks parked on the property. These trucks presently contain the contents of the new warehouse. No. 1 CUP87 -10 Page 2 The following is a listing of how the proposed project meets the minimum requirements for the district: I -2 Front Yard 20' Side Yard: N 20' S 20' Rear Yard 20' Lot Area 12,000 Height 35' Proposed 94' 60 115' 60' 130,680 28'1/2 (approx) The north side of the site will be landscaped with a variety of plantings. These plantings will meet the landscaping requirements. The rest of the site will be fenced with chain link. The staff is concerned with the appearance of the site from the south and west because it will abutt the R.L. Johnson property. We would recommend the applicant submit a plan which shows landscaping with a screen fenced on the west and south lot lines. The new entrance on the north side of the existing building will provide an access to the retail area and the yard entrance. Traffic to the yard entrance will be the abutting railroad. The cars will then have access to the proposed warehouse and the yard. They will then be able to exit from the checkout parking area. The exterior of the proposed building will be metal and gray in color. The site is required a total of 179 parking spaces. The site plan shows 246 parking spaces. Any new signage will have to comply with 570.53. Currently the site is at the maximum square footage allowed. Signage moved within the site will not require a sign permit, but the applicant will be required to inform the sign inspector for an installation inspection. ANALYSIS: The applicant is proposing a gray metal building. The staff is concerned about the appearance CUP87 -10 Page 3 of the proposed warehouse building abutting County Road 13. The major concern the staff has with this proposal relates to the material to be used in constructing the warehouse. Because of its' size, width - length- height, it will be very visible from County Road 13. Because this is one of the main entry ways into the City, the long -range goal is to clean up this area. For the former White Motors property, the developer will be required to adhere to some fairly strict design standards. A pole type metal building projects a temporary warehousing image. The City has the ability to regulate construction and material through 525.13 Subd. 10 of the zoning ordinance concerning conditional uses: "The requirements are in connection with the application for a Conditional Use Permit are deemed necessary by the Council because a substantial depreciation of values in the neighborhood where such construction is proposed as well as in and to the City at large, occurs or may occur to the detriment of the general public welfare if such construction or alteration contains exterior facing materials which are either temporary or are not of a permanent nature or have a tendency to deteriorate rapidly or may be easily disfigured, marred or damaged, or which for any reason may rapidly become unsightly in appearance; examples of which materials being, but not limited to the following: concrete masonry units, common clay tile, tar paper or other similar building composition sheet materials, either corrugated or plain and exposed unfinished -concrete unless some or all of such materials are constructed and used in a special arrangement or combination with other materials of a permanent nature with sound architectural design." The staff is recommending to require the proposed warehouse to have exterior materials the same or similar construction to the existing structure or brick. CUP87 -10 Page 4 The applicant, as of the date of this report, has not presented the project to CCDC. The staff has advised him that it is recommended that CCDC have a chance to review his proposed project. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the Conditional Use Permit as presented. 2. Approve the Conditional Use Permit with revision to the plan. 3. Deny the Conditional Use Permit. 4. Continue for a month. RECOMMENDATION: I recommend Alternative #4. The applicant work with staff and submit new plans that address the concerns of the staff. It is also recommended the applicant meet with CCDC.
