NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANT5, INC. 4800 Olson Memorial Fi ighway, Suite 202, Golden Valley, MN 55422 Telephone: 7C>3.231.2555 Facsimile: 783.23 L2561 plan Hers(<?lnacpla nniny.com MEMORANDUM TO: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: Stephen Grittman DATE: June 3, 2009 RE: Little Canada -Temo Sunrooms PUD Amendment FILE NO: 758.09 - 09.09 Background and Analysis Temo Sunrooms is seeking a newly revised amendment to its PUD permit to allow the construction of a garbage enclosure. The applicant received PUD Permit amendments in 2007 and 2008, however the improvements in those approvals were not all completed. A part of the previous approvals included the construction of a garage/storage building at the western edge of the property, replacing the existing garbage enclosure in that location. The applicant had, at the time, been storing materials in the garbage enclosure, and storing dumpsters outside in the parking area. Recently, the applicant sought permission to construct a garbage enclosure attached to the principal building. That request was in process, however, the applicant is now proposing to attached the enclosure to the existing detached accessory building in the northwest corner of the parcel. The proposed enclosure measures eight feet by 10 feet, constructed of rock-faced concrete block to match the existing building construction, with a gate that would open to the parking/drive access to the south. The proposed enclosure would have a roof similar to that of the existing accessory building. . The property is zoned PUD, and the City has typically applied I-P, Industrial Park zoning standards to the buildings in this area. The applicant has provided drawings and details of the enclosure, including a gate design. The gate is proposed to be constructed of cedar, and appears to be a solid door. Although it does not enclose the entire opening, the proposed gate should serve the purpose of covering the opening adequate, given its south-facing orientation toward the applicant's parking lot area.
