Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
Tecnifoam occupies the building at 4400 Ball Road and are proposing to construct another building on the adjacent lot to the east.
The applicant would like to provide an access (dock door and drive in door) from the west side of the newly constructed building. The access to these two doors would be from their existing building parking lot and east side of the existing building.
Site plan approval will be required and will include the submission of a Site Improvement Performance Agreement and financial guarantee.
There is an existing public utility easement that contains both a sanitary sewer and water main that bisect the property north-south. This creates some construction issues for the applicant. The proposed trash enclosure in the easement must not have any footings in the easement. Also, the building foundations may need to be extended deeper than normal to accommodate any future excavation required for the utilities. The water main needs to be lowered to maintain a minimum cover of 7.5’.
The proposed building will need to be raised as the proposed grades for the truck dock on the east side of the building are lower than the base flood elevation for the proposed pond.
The sanitary sewer service will need to be direct bored into the existing manhole as there is not enough room to excavate near the manhole due to adjacent fences.
A shared access agreement will be required if the parcels have separate ownership in the future.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
