COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 23, 1995 introduced Mr. Craig Carpenter, President of Custom Remodelers and Darrell Anderson of the Design Partnership, the project architect. Ms. Wyland explained that the Apollo Business Park is zoned General Industrial with a minimum lot size of one (1) acre and 100 feet of front footage. This proposed development will be located on a three (3) acre parcel. The Economic Development Department has reviewed this request and recommends approval. Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is available for development of the site. A minor subdivision will be required and will be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council in November. Site plan review is before the City Council at this time to facilitate the TIF Financing arrangements that are necessary for the development. The proposed building meets or exceeds the setback requirements for the General Industrial District. The building height is well within the District standards, adequate green area is provided and landscaping and buffering have been designed. The landscape plan is subject to the review and approval of the City Forester. The proposed construction has been reviewed and approved by the Economic Development Advisory Board for aesthetic compatibility. The exterior is proposed as a combination of smooth block, rock face block and metal coping along the roof line. The block will be painted with a contrasting color window treatment on the smooth block surface. A total of 96 off-street parking spaces have been provided which should be adequate to serve the site as designed. The parking area will be designed to City standards and handicapped spaces provided according to ADA rules and regulations. The site will be accessed by a shared driveway with UDOR, U.S.A. A shared driveway agreement will be required prior to construction. The site plan indicates that the trash handling area will be enclosed and located on a rear corner. The area is required to be screened from public view from both I35W and Apollo Drive. The dock and loading area is located adjacent to I35W with a large stand of evergreen trees intended to screen the area from view of travelers on I35W. The City Forester will review the landscape plan to insure placement of trees and sizing to adequately screen the loading dock area from I35W. The off street parking area will be illuminated so as to reflect light away from adjoining properties. A ground sign will be located at least 20 feet from the front property line. Staff is requiring that all provisions of the Sign Ordinance be met in relation to this proposed construction and proper sign permits will be obtained from the Building Department. Plans for on-site grading, drainage and utilities are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. PAGE 11
