Case No: 81 -06
Applicant: Mike Briggs
Location: 1617 Fifth Street South
Request: Conditional Use Permit to construct a PUD
STAFF FINDINGS AND COMMENTS: Kerrigan - Rafferty
1. The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to construct a Planned
Unit Development in an area zoned I -2. The applicant is proposing a Planned
Unit Development as specified under 427.50 which states; "The PUD ordinance
is necessary to provide a method where flexibility of site and architectural
design may be applied by placing.more than one building on a lot in accord
with an overall approved integrated plan ". The applicant is also requesting
a 10 foot side variance in an area requiring a 20 foot side yard.
2. The property is approximately 363' x 168' or 1 1/3 acres (57,700 sq. ft.).
Presently the applicant has an existing structure on that parcel of approxi -,
mately 10,000 square feet. The structure proposed will be an additional
10,000 sq. ft. The sum of both structures (20,000) on that parcel of 57,700
sq. ft. is well within the maximum floor area ratio (60 %) permitted in that
district. Both buildings oombined will have a building coverage of 36 %.
3. The existing structure is presently broken down into 1400 sq. ft. of office,
200 sq. ft. of manufacturing and 8246 sq. ft. of warehouse, with a total park-
ing requirement of eleven spaces. The applicant has provided 12 spaces for
that structure. The proposed structure will be providing 1230 sq. ft. of
office and 9235 sq. ft. of warehouse for a total parking requirement of ten
spaces. The applicant has provided 12 spaces. It should be noted that all
spaces must be paved and should the uses change in the future, the parking
requirement would also change. In other words, if the office, manufacturing,
or retail to warehouse ratio should change in the future, which would require
the applicant to provide more parking spaces, either the uses would have to be
terminated or on site parking provided. The present parcel plan would not
allow for anymore surface parking therefore the ramping alternative may become
necessary.
4. The applicant meets the loading berth requirement as specified in 427.47(3)
where as warehousing 5000 sq. ft. to 30,000 sq. ft. shall provide one loading
berth fifty feet in length. Further, the applicant has provided the necessary
roadway.
5. The Fire Marshal has reviewed the plan and will require the structure to be
sprinkled. Any flamable storage may necessitate further requirements.
6. The engineer has reviewed the plan and has found no problem with the drainage.
However, the applicant is proposing to pave the easterly 10 feet of his property
where the City has a ten foot utility easement. Should the City or other
utilities ever need to repair those utilities, they will only be responsible
for the utilities and not the hard surface paving or landscaping replacement.
