Bio-Clean Development Review June 14, 2004 Page 2 Parking Lot Setbacks Front (Mustang Dr.) 40 feet 40 feet Yes Front (Old Hwy 8) 7 feet 7 feet Yes* Side (west) 5 feet 5 feet Yes Rear (north) 5 feet 5 feet Yes *Variance granted for these setbacks on May 19, 2004. ** Variance granted for this setback in 1981. Parking Area: Code requires one stall for every employee. On the busiest shift, there is a maximum of fourteen (14) employees. The plans show twenty parking spaces, which exceeds the requirement by six. Section 902.04 of the Municipal Code requires perimeter curbing for all industrial parking areas. Access: There are currently two, twenty-foot wide curb cuts on the property that access Mustang Drive. There are no curb cuts onto Old Highway 8. The property was granted a variance for an additional curb cut to the Mustang Drive frontage to allow for easier access and egress for large trucks. The Zoning Code allows curb cuts up to thirty-two (32) feet in an I-1, Industrial Zone. The applicant is proposing to add one, thirty-two (32) foot curb cut on the west side of the property to allow trucks to exit the property after leaving the loading area. The existing curb cut near the center of the property would remain the same in size and location and would be used to allow trucks to enter the front stalls of the building. The curb cut on the east side of the property would remain in the same location, but would be enlarged from twenty (20) feet to thirty-two (32) feet. Drainage: There is currently a small pond on-site. Staff contacted Rice Creek Watershed to find out if this addition would require their review and approval. After speaking with Karl Hammers from Rice Creek Watershed, it was found that the applicant would not be required to submit an application for a Rice Creek Watershed grading permit. The existing pond captures run-off from the eastern three-quarters of the property. Public Works and Community Development Staff recommend that an infiltration basin be added in the southwest corner of the property. The infiltration basin would collect some of the run-off created by the addition to the building and parking lot. The run-off not collected by the two detention areas would flow into the City’s storm sewer system. Building Exterior: The proposed addition will add seventy-four (74) feet onto the west end of the building. The building is nineteen (19) feet tall. The new portion of the building will have two larger overhead doors at the west end to allow the Bioclean trucks to park inside the new addition. The addition will have windows on the top half of the building to match with the existing building and allow natural light into the building. The exterior materials used would match the exterior of the existing building. Landscaping: The applicant is not proposing to add or remove any landscaping. Signage: No new signage is proposed with the addition.
