ITEM 3. PROJECT REVIEW
A. Lake Glass Warehouse/Office Building CUP/COA #Z-04123 (Morris)
502 Professional Drive
* A Conditional Use Permit Application with a Certificate of Appropriateness to allow the construction of a 10,347 square foot commercial building and related site improvements.
John Sinrud joined the DRB. Planner Morris presented the Staff Report noting the reason for the CUP was because of the light manufacturing proposed as a use for the building. She stated
the applicant was requesting deviations from the amount of required parking to allow a reduction from 21 required parking spaces to 17 parking spaces, and to reduce the rear yard setback
from 10 feet to 8 feet. She stated the existing building would be completely demolished.
Mr. Sinrud noted the locations of the proposed accesses and stated there were still some issues to be worked out. He added the distance between the awnings would have to be re-assessed
as well.
Mr. Howe asked Planner Morris where the requested deviations were located in the Staff Report. Planner Morris indicated them. Mr. Howe asked if the requested 2 foot reduction in the
setback was at the rear of the structure. Mr. Sinrud responded that it was, and the reason for the request was that he had square footage requirements to meet to make the manufacturing
section of the building functional.
Mr. Livingston asked what sort of light manufacturing would be done. Mr. Sinrud responded they would be using 300 square feet to manufacture window and door screens. Mr. Livingston
asked if the applicant had researched alternate configurations for the loading and unloading of trucks and added there was a huge amount of impervious coverage. Mr. Sinrud responded
there was no way the applicant would be allowed to back a truck from Professional Drive (per zoning ordinance – “no backing into public right of way”) and they had attempted to work
with the neighboring properties and had found no other feasible way of structuring the loading docks.
Mr. Thomas asked Mr. Sinrud if a feature on the site plan was building signage. Mr. Sinrud responded that it was, and that there would also be a monument sign. Mr. Sinrud indicated
where the lighting would be located. Mr. Thomas asked where the awnings would be located. Planner Morris responded the awnings would be required over the human door entries on the
east and south side of the building.
Vice Chairperson Hanson stated he wanted to revisit Mr. Howe’s setback question. He asked what was placed in the setback that it required a deviation. Planner Morris responded the
applicant was asking for their drive aisle to be closer to the east property line. Vice Chairperson Hanson stated there was nothing addressing the signage in the submittal materials.
Planner Morris responded that a comprehensive signage plan would be included in the code provisions. Vice Chairperson Hanson inquired about landscaping as a code provision. Mr. Sinrud
responded the applicant was arranging to salvage as much of the existing landscaping as possible with the demolition of the existing building.
Mr. Livingston stated he agreed with Staff conditions. He stated the large amount of impervious surface perplexed him due to the small number of deliveries and the small size of the
delivery vehicles.
Mr. Thomas asked how many employees were estimated. Mr. Sinrud responded approximately ten. Mr. Thomas suggested an outdoor seating area where the employees could take breaks and eat
lunch.
Vice Chairperson Hanson stated he had no problem with the conditions or requested deviations. He asked if dumpster enclosures were allowed in the setbacks. Planner Morris responded
only in the rear setback.
MOTION: Mr. Livingston moved, Mr. Howe seconded, to forward a recommendation of approval for Lake Glass Warehouse/Office Building CUP/COA #Z-04123 to the City Commission with Staff
Conditions. Motion carried 4-0.
