• • • Molin Amendment Page 2 of 4 SITE PLAN Buildings: Site plans have been submitted for the addition. One is an outdoor storage bay with an overhead crane. This will attached to the north side of the existing storage bays, north of the existing extruded pre -cast manufacturing building. Lighting: There will be no additional lighting necessary beyond what is currently used on the site as this is simply a request to add an additional bay to the existing storage system. Traffic: The building additions are being made to accommodate current manufacturing activities on site. The additions will not increase the number of employees or the amount of traffic generated by the concrete plant. The City has not received any recent calls about traffic concerns. Grading/Drainage, Utilities: A grading and utility plan was submitted with this application, and was thoroughly reviewed by the City Engineer. A memorandum is attached to this report that outlines all of the City Engineer's comments. The applicant is also required to submit their plans to the Rice Creek Watershed District for review and to obtain any necessary permits. Landscaping: With last year's amendment the board's largest concern was the landscaping. Again, no landscaping is proposed for this addition; nor does staff recommend any. This addition is quite minor in nature compared to the existing facilities on site, and screening in the form of landscaping and walls is already provided in ample quantity. City staff has already scheduled an inspection for the beginning of May to confirm ongoing conformance with the landscaping requirements. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD On February 8th the Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the proposal subject to the three conditions recommended by staff. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions: 1. Issues discussed in the City Engineer review memo must be addressed to his satisfaction. 2. All conditions in Resolution 05 -13 continue to apply. 3. The applicant shall have the proposal reviewed by the Rice Creek Watershed District, and if necessary obtain a permit from them. This review is based on the following plans and information: 1. City Engineer Comments dated February 1, 2006. 2. Molin Plan Set received January 9, 2006.
