• • Molin Concrete October 10, 2001 page 2 zoned LI, the southern 35 acres is zoned GI. Surrounding land use and zoning is shown in the table: Site and Building Plan Review Structure: The proposed new structure is a building for extruded precast manufacturing. The building is approximately 600 feet long and 66' wide. It will have precast concrete walls 36' high for the majority of the building. There will be a smooth band with windows four feet wide at the 25' height. Near the south end the building itself will increase to 45' high, then decrease to 11'. At the south end there will be two cement silos rising to approximately 70 ft. in height. Near the silos are below -grade material bins for aggregate and sand. The building will cover approximately 38,000 sf. The silos and material bins will use additional area. Height: As stated above, the proposed new production facility includes two cement silos rising to approximately 70' in height. The height maximum in the GI zone is 45'. Under Section 3 Subd. 4.C.3. of the zoning ordinance, building heights in excess of the standards of the districts may be allowed through a conditional use permit, provided that: a. Demonstrated need is established for the increase in height and said increase will not violate the intent and character of the zoning district in which the structure is located. comment: The production facility requires the cement silos. The GI zoning district is the City's most intense industrial zone. The GI zone, as stated in the purpose paragraph of the ordinance, is for "areas which, because of availability to thoroughfares, suitable topography, and isolation, are appropriate for industrial uses of a more intense nature and ones which may have certain nuisance characteristics."
