• • SITE PLAN Molin Amendment Page 2 of 3 Buildings: Site plans have been submitted for two additions. One is an outdoor storage bay with an overhead crane. This will attached to the north side of the two existing storage bays, just north of the existing extruded pre -cast manufacturing building, and will meet all required setbacks. The second proposed addition is a 17,500 square foot addition to the north side of the existing manufacturing and batch plant, which will also meet all required setbacks. Lighting: The lighting plan for the 17,500 square foot addition depicts seven additional wall mounted lighting fixtures, however due to the fact that that it is setback so far from property lines, a revised photometric lighting plan was not required with this submittal. However a condition similar to that put on the most recent Conditional Use Permit amendment will be added requiring hoods, direction from residential, and 90 degree cut off angles for all new exterior lighting. 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 outline all of the City Engineer's comments. The City has received notification from the Rice Creek Watershed District that the proposed additions will have only a minor effect on the site and will therefore be treated as an amendment to the existing permit. Landscaping: There is no landscaping proposed for these additions, and staff does not recommend any additional landscaping. These additions are both fairly 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. Completion of a number of landscaping issues was a condition of approval for one of Molin's previous Conditional Use Permit amendment (Resolution 01 -182), given in November of 2001 for an expansion of the facilities. These landscaping issues involved tree and shrub planting on the berm to the north of the property, as well as native seed planting around the pond located north of the berm. When the latest amendment was proposed in 2003 (Resolution 03 -73) city staff visited the site and verified that the landscaping plan approved in 2001 was being implemented properly according to the approved planting plan. City staff will complete another inspection of the site for conformance to the approved landscaping plan once weather permits.
