Planning & Zoning Board February 13, 2001 Page 10 G. Ryan Companies, Summit Fire Protection, 2XX Apollo Drive, Minor Subdivision and Site Plan Review. Staff presented the application for Ryan Companies on behalf of Summit Fire Protection, which was requesting a minor subdivision and plat approval to allow the construction of a 30,076 square foot office /warehouse facility on the property located in the 200 block of Apollo Drive. The site plan also illustrated 22,800 square foot future expansion and parking for this expansion. Staff presented its analysis by explaining the site's L -1, Light Industrial zoning classification was consistent with this land use designation. The lot, parking and building met all of the performance standards in the L -I, Light Industrial District. Staff stated applicant was proposing to construct a 30,076 square foot office /warehouse facility. The building was considered one story; however, the office and warehouse portions would have different heights. All heights conformed to the 45 -foot future expansion along with future parking. The building exterior materials conformed to the City Code. The plan's indicted all trash and recycling containers would be stored inside the principal structure. With respect to lighting, the plans did not include a detailed photometric plan. The site plan showed shoebox light fixtures both on the building and in the parking area. Staff recommended a condition of approval required the applicant to submit a detailed photometric plan prior to City Council review. Staff stated signage was governed by the City's sign Ordinance and separate permits were required for all signs. The landscape plan presented a variety mix of landscaping. Most notably, the applicant's plan called for a native mix of prairie grasses and wild flowers throughout the site. The applicant must submit a maintenance plan for the native prairie grasses. The applicant should add screening along the western side of the site to screen the loading areas of the adjacent residential use. In addition, should applicant decide to construct parking stalls in the future along the western side of the site, they would need to add landscaping to screen it from the adjacent residential use. Utilities would come from the existing sewer and water mains constructed as part of the Marmon/Keystone site to the east. Water access would be stubbed across Apollo Court and split to serve both Summit Fire Protection site and the parcel to the north. Storm water runoff from the subject property would be stored and treated on site. The applicant's parking plans called for 48 stalls and another 27 future stalls. If the proposed addition were constructed, it would need 10 additional stalls. Together, the proposed and future parking exceeded the total number of off - street parking stalls required by the Ordinance. Mr. Corson asked if applicant wanted to make comment. Frank Zelle, Ryan Companies Project Manager, presented color diagrams showing the project. He stated with the 32 -foot wide drive, it would make it easier for service vehicles to get in and out. He stated this was a cul -de -sac and it would not interfere with anything by having a wider driveway. Chair Schaps inquired about the native prairie grass. Mr. Zelle replied the front and side of the building would be sod, with the rest of the area native prairie grass. • • •
