Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. There were no comments at the public hearing.
 
Background
The applicant, Arrow Cryogenics has recently purchased the two properties listed above.  The two properties were connected by two existing shared accesses (north (A) and south (B)) between the properties.  Therefore, a Conditional Use Permit is being requested to allow the drive accesses between the two properties to remain.  
 
The applicant is proposing to relocate the northern access in order to meet the required 25 foot front yard setback and will be providing concrete curb and gutter in the location of the new northern (A) shared access.  The southern (B) shared access is proposed to remain in its current location, but will be improved with concrete curb and gutter.  The concrete curb and gutter will be required on the north and south side of the southern (B) shared access.
 
The applicant has proposed to close the eastern driveway entrance of 1580 94th Lane NE.
 
The property (1580- 94th Lane NE) has minimal landscaping on site as it was developed prior to current landscape requirements.  Therefore, it is recommended that 3 trees be planted within the Davenport Street front yard setback area and 2 trees be planted within the 94th Lane NE front yard setback area.
 
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
