Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for May 7, 2018 Page 7 of 9 Approve Schwieters Properties LLP, Final Plat, Text Amendment, Site Plan, and CUP Schwieters Properties, LLP, had requested approval of a final plat to be known as "Roy Molitor 3rd Addition" to create one lot and one outlot at 13676 Fenway Boulevard North. Planner Rachel Juba explained the applicant was also requesting approval of a site plan for a 144,000 square foot manufacturing/warehouse building with associated parking and exterior storage, a Conditional Use Permit for the exterior storage and a Conditional Use Permit for a campus development to allow multiple buildings on one parcel. A zoning text amendment was also required for the exterior storage of raw lumber material stored outside that they will manufacture inside the building. She presented the plans that showed future phases that include additional buildings. Rachel explained the site plan was only for the manufacturing building, and future buildings would require a site plan application to go before the Planning Commission. Staff was still working with the applicant on screening for temporary storage until other building are built. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered these requests at their April 26, 2018, meeting. Residents expressed concerns regarding traffic, lighting, and noise. The applicant addressed those concerns and acknowledged there would be more traffic. The Planning Commission had recommended approval of the applications, subject to the conditions listed in the draft resolution, draft ordinance, and conditional use permits. Klein questioned the cost of putting in temporary screening that will be removed when future building are built. Juba explained that City Code requires exterior storage to be screened, and there is uncertainty when the other buildings will be built. Mike Brass from Colliers International and Blake Schwieters from JL Schwieters stated they were very excited to be expanding and growing their business in Hugo. Weidt talked about the improvements of the railroad and how it contributed to the expansion in the industrial park. The stated he appreciated Schwieter's decision to stay and grow in Hugo. Haas thanked Schwieters for their generous donation of land for the Habitat for Homes in Hugo. Weidt granted the request from resident Donald Patrick Jones to speak. He stated he lived in the house just south of 1401h Street in the Fenway Place townhomes. He said he realized the land was going to be developed and had no objections; however, he had concerns regarding noise, the four - foot berm, "Jake braking", and possible expansion of 140th to the north making reference to the pumping station, stating if the road was going to be widened, he would like it on the south side. Juba replied that the four -foot berm on the north side would be five to ten feet wide at the top with condensed plantings with evergreen trees that are six feet in height. She explained the work will be done inside of the buildings, and the overhead doors would be closed, but there may be sound from trucks outside. She stated there should be enough for expansion of the road, and the pump station will not be expanded. Petryk asked about the two buildings at the north, and Juba stated they were not for manufacturing, which will take place to the south. It was felt the berm would be sufficient since the buildings to the north will be offices, though Juba acknowledged there may be exterior storage behind the office/ware house buildings.
