Fake Elmo ( Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use and Zoning � No. 9B City Council August 2, 2006 Section 520 Site Plan and Shoreland Variance — C&C North America Background Information for August 2.2006: On July 24, 2006 the Planning Commission unanimously adopted a recommendation for approval of a Section 520 Site Plan and Shoreland setback variance for construction of a 25,200 square foot office/showroom building on a 2.04 acre parcel of the Eagle Point Business Park. The building owner, C&C North America, is a distributor of Silestone counter tops and flooring. The showroom section of the proposed structure will be to permit purchasers of counter tops and flooring to make selections to be supplied tot heir contractors from samples on display at this facility. The plan specifies that 23% of the total floor area of the proposed building will be showroom, with the balance to be corporate offices for C&C North America. The Planning Commission approval recommendation includes a number of design -related conditions involving parking and stream bank landscape mitigation. Of those, the most significant is the substitution of "proof of parking" for 15 spaces that are excess (over Code minimums), and would have been located in the OHW setback of the Tributary Stream (ditch) to the west of the site. Instead of constructing those spaces, the area will be sodded, and only used for future parking with City approval — which would not be unreasonably withheld. DNR concurs with this strategy as well as with the structure variance and the stream bank mitigation related to proposed grading (rather than very high retaining walls) in the OHW of the stream. The owner's architects have provided revised drawings (staff dated July 27, 2006) that reflect the design -related conditions. As such staff has removed/modified those conditions in the attached Resolution recommended for adoption. An additional step related to this project that is not reviewed by the Commission (per Section 400 of the Code) is the final platting of Eagle Point Business Park Outlot C ( this site) as Lot 1, Block 1, Eagle Point Business Park 6 s Addition. A copy of the proposed Final Plat and the Resolution approving the plat are also attached and recommended for adoption. No Development Agreement is necessary since there will be no public improvements related to this plat.
