Lehrkind Bottling Addition SP/COA #Z-04042 (Kozub) 1715 North Rouse Avenue * A Site Plan Application with a Certificate of Appropriateness to allow the construction of a 33,204 square foot warehouse and office addition with related site improvements. Don Amos and Garth Amos joined the DRB. Planner I Susan Kozub presented the Staff Report, noting the application proposed three additions with the largest being approximately 30,000 sq. ft. She stated Staff recommended approval with three conditions and several code provisions required by the DRC, including a detailed landscape plan. Chairperson Smith inquired where the DRC conditioned paving areas were located. Planner Kozub illustrated the locations on the site plan. Chairperson Smith asked if the landscape plan would include irrigation. Planner Kozub responded that it would. Don Amos asked the DRB if a color chip of paint would suffice in place of a sample materials board. Planner Kozub responded the sample materials board was a standard request made by the Planning Office. Don Amos asked if he was going to be made to do the sample materials board. Planner Kozub responded ADR staff would require it unless the DRB removed the condition, which it did not. Mr. Livingston asked if the relocated trees would be on either side of the proposed front addition, if the large sign in front would be removed, and how he would get to the sidewalk with the handicapped spaces located so close to the front door. Don Amos responded trees are proposed on either side of the door, and the old sign would be removed and a new, smaller one erected in its place. Mr. Livingston suggested relocating the handicapped spaces along the sides of the sidewalk to the entrance to allow easier access. Planner Kozub stated the relocation of the handicapped spaces could be added as a condition. Mr. Livingston stated he had the occasion to observe the property from next door, and he noted the life of the equipment on the site would be enhanced if it were housed in a building. He stated the site would look better after the project was completed. He stated his only concern was the handicapped parking layout. Chairperson Smith stated she agreed with ADR Staff’s conditions of approval and landscaping would improve the site. She stated she supported the project. MOTION: Mr. Livingston moved, Mr. Howe seconded, to forward a recommendation of approval to the City Commission for Lehrkind Bottling Addition SP/COA #Z-04042 with Staff conditions and the addition of condition #4) “to relocate the handicapped parking spaces following U.D.O. guidelines connecting the spaces to the sidewalks to allow for better pedestrian circulation.” The motion carried 4-0 with ADR Staff (Dave Skelton) providing one vote. 2. Lower Storage Yards COA/Further Development #Z-04051 (Bristor) 1812 North Rouse Avenue * A Further Development Application with a Certificate of Appropriateness to allow the construction of additional buildings for storage and fire department training with related site improvements. James Goehrung joined the DRB. Historic Preservation Planner Allyson Bristor presented the Staff Report, noting DRC recommended approval of the project as conditioned by Staff. Mr. Howe asked if the trees depicted in green on the site plan were the existing trees. Planner Bristor responded they were both the existing trees and proposed trees. Mr. Livingston asked if the proposed structures were single-story. Planner Bristor responded they were. Chairperson Smith stated she questioned the pitch of the roof. Planner Bristor responded Staff’s recommendation was to provide low pitch roofs for low visibility from North Rouse Avenue. Planner Bristor exhibited picture examples of the types of proposed structures. Chairperson Smith asked if the proposed colors were white and blue. Mr. Goehrung responded they had not yet decided on colors, thus the reason for the ADR condition of providing a sample color/materials board. Chairperson Smith asked if the site was fenced. Mr. Goehrung responded the site was fenced in chain link. Chairperson Smith asked what utilities were planned in the storage facilities. Mr. Goehrung responded there would be underground electrical wires. Chairperson Smith asked who would be storing items there. Mr. Goehrung responded the City would use the storage buildings. Mr. Livingston asked if “rings” depicted on the site plan were fire hydrants. Mr. Goehrung responded they were inactive, dry hydrants used for Fire Department training. Mr. Livingston stated he thought the storage was good, but the landscaping was the best part of the project. Chairperson Smith stated she agreed with Mr. Livingston and asked if the landscaping met the code requirements. Planner Bristor stated it did meet the requirements, and possibly exceeded them, due to the preservation of six existing trees. Mr. Livingston asked where a picnic table would be placed. Planner Bristor and Planner Kozub responded one would not be one required as there weren’t any people actually working on site. MOTION: Mr. Howe moved, Mr. Livingston seconded, to forward a recommendation of approval to the City Commission for Lower Storage Yards COA/Further Development #Z-04051 with Staff conditions. The motion carried 4-0 with ADR Staff (Susan Kozub) providing one vote. ITEM 4.
