MJiTTJAL'S PLAY ENG C OIVEWISSION SEPTEMBER 11, 1997 The Planner pointed out that Frattalone is requesting the property be rezoned to I -P. The Comprehensive Plan indicates an industrial /office campus -type of development for the property. The City has already indicated that 3-3 is probably not an appropriate zoning for the site. The Planner noted that the east side of Spruce Street is zoned I -P. Frattalone pointed out that the railroad borders the property on the south. Keis asked about the building requirements in the I -P District. The Planner repiied that 1 -P required a masonry structure. Frattalone indicated that I -P was a step up from I -1. The Planner further indicated that there is a 25% landscaping requirement in the I -P District. The drawing presented by Frattalone shows 40% of green area, including ponds and natural area. Frattalone indicated that he would like to begin grading the property. The concept plan he has this evening, shows the maximum building coverage allowed. In actuality, there may be more green area than what is shown. Frattalone reported that there is a lot of dirt work needed to be done before the property can be marketed. The total site area is 10.55 acres. When the dirt work is completed, there will be approximately 6 acres that is usable. The City Planner reported that the Council discussed the possibility of PUD zoning for the Water Department property. However, the discussion of PUD was more specific to the frontage along Rice Street. The Council discussed an office development on the Rice Street frontage, and an office/industriai campus type of development on the Spruce Street site. Canon felt that a building like that of D & T Trucking would be a good development of this Spruce Street site. Canon stated that he did not know what other type of use would want to locate on this site. DeLonais pointed out that the buildings on the other side of Spruce are typical warehouse buildings with no windows. Keis pointed out that if the property is rezoned to I -P, the development could be entirely warehouse. The City Planner reported that the Comp Plan encourages City review of development plans. and such plans would be reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council. Page 16
