FILE NO.: S-1347 G. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: May 30, 2002 Mr. Ron Boyeskie of CBM Construction Company was present representing the application. Staff briefly described the proposed project noting additional information needed with regard to the proposed development (dumpster location, days and hours of operation, number of employees). Public Works comments and the landscaping comments were addressed as well. Staff stated the proposed landscaping meet with the minimum requirement since the site abuts industrial properties. Being no further discussion, the Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. - H. ANALYSIS: The applicant revised the proposed site plan adding the additional information requested by staff. The applicant proposes the building setbacks to match the existing building setbacks on the existing metal building. The applicant proposes the hours of operation to be Sunday through Thursday from 6:30 am to 3:00 am and Friday and Saturday from 6:30 am to 5:00 pm. The dumpsters will be located on the site in their current location. The dumpsters are inside the complex located adjacent to the existing metal building. The dumpsters will not require screening since there is no intended purpose for the screening. The dumpsters are located on the interior of the Western Foods Facility and are not visable from any public right-of-way or adjoining property. There is no new signage proposed as a part of the development. The applicant has indicated the existing signage on the site plan; a painted sign on the north elevation of the existing building. Staff is supportive of the requested application. The site and the area is conducive to a development of this type since the area is developed with industrial type uses. The area to the south is the Fourche Creek Floodway, an area considered by the City for the "Trail of Parks", but with the design there will be little to no adverse effect on the natural beauty of the area. Otherwise, to staff's knowledge, there are no outstanding issues associated with the proposed Subdivision Site Plan Review. 3 June 20, 2002 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 5 FILE NO.: S-1347 AFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed subdivision site plan review subject to compliance with the conditions outlined in paragraphs D, E and F of this report. 4 Item No. 5 Western Foods Subdivision Site Plan Review S-1347 Planning Staff Comments: 1.
