Home My WebLink AboutItem IV PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT APRIL 19, 2022 ITEM IV: GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR A FENCE ADDITION AT 0 PLANEVIEW DRIVE GENERAL INFORMATION Owner/Applicant: A.A.I Properties Action(s) Requested: The applicant requests approval of a General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan to allow a fencing addition at 0 Planeview Drive. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance. Property Location and Background Information: The subject area is zoned Suburban Mixed Use with a Planned Development Overlay (SMU-PD) and consists of a 4.85 acre parcel with frontage on Planeview Drive. The subject area contains an approximate 61,000 sq. ft. truck parking lot, constructed in 1998 according to City Assessor records. The surrounding area consists predominantly of vacant land as well as similar truck stop uses to the north, hotel and Nekimi Town Hall to the south, and Interstate-41 to the east. The 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends Interstate Commercial use for the subject area.

The current use is considered a freight terminal under the zoning ordinance, and is a legal nonconforming use as it is not permitted in the Suburban Mixed Use (SMU) district. The applicant has noted in the narrative that in the future they intend to add a building including a washout bay, maintenance shop, and offices to be used as the headquarters for Kela Transport. Plans have not been submitted for the future plans. Site Design/Access There are no changes proposed to the existing site design or access. The only change to the site being proposed at this time is addition of 6’ tall chain link fencing including a sliding gate at the entrance to the truck parking area. According to the applicant, the fencing/gate is needed to secure the lot to protect the vehicles and products loaded in the trailers. The proposed fencing will extend 38’ on both the north and south sides of the entrance, with 10’ sections extending toward the road, and 48’ double sliding gate (24’ per gate section). The gate will be approximately 17’ from the front property line, with fencing sections extending toward the road to approximately 7’ from the front property line. Page 2 ITEM IV: GDP.SIP 0 Planeview Dr 3 Chain link fencing prohibited in front yard areas and the maximum height is 4’ for fencing within the front setback area (25’) in the SMU district. Staff is supportive of a base standard modification (BSM) to allow the 6’ tall chain link fencing in the proposed location as it is needed to secure the entrance to the existing parking lot. The existing parking lot is approximately 23’ from the front Page 3 ITEM IV: GDP.SIP 0 Planeview Dr 4 property line. Moving the fencing further from the property line would result in the fencing/gate being located within the parking lot rather than at the entrance to the parking area. Also, the site has a relatively large right-of-way terrace area, with the front property line approximately 27’ from the road. Storm Water Management/Utilities The Department of Public Works reviewed the plans and did not note any concerns. Landscaping There are several existing trees and shrubs along the front property line. The applicant has stated that all existing landscaping will be preserved. The new fencing does not trigger any additional landscaping requirements. However, staff is recommending an additional 30 street frontage landscaping points to offset the requested BSM and soften the view of the proposed fencing. Signage Signage plans were not included with this request. Lighting No changes to the existing lighting for the site were included with this request. Building Facades No building plans were provided with this request. FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Planned Development district, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the criteria established by Chapter 30-387 (C)(6): (a) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the overall purpose and intent of this Chapter. (c) The proposed Planned Development project would maintain the desired relationships between land uses, land use densities and intensities, and land use impacts in the environs of the subject site. (d) Adequate public infrastructure is or will be available to accommodate the range of uses being proposed for the Planned Development project, including but not limited to public sewer and water and public roads. (g) The proposed architecture and character of the proposed Planned Development project is compatible with adjacent/nearby development. (i) The proposed Planned Development project will produce significant benefits in terms of environmental design and significant alternative approaches to addressing development performance that relate to and more than compensate for any requested exceptions/base standard modifications variation of any standard or regulation of this Chapter. Page 4 ITEM IV: GDP.SIP 0 Planeview Dr 5 Staff recommends approval of the General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan with the findings listed above and the proposed following conditions: 1. Base Standard Modification to allow increased front yard fence height to 6’, where code allows a maximum height of 4’. 2. Base Standard Modification to allow chain link fencing in a front yard. 3. A minimum of 30 street frontage landscaping points shall be provided. 4. Final landscaping plans shall be approved by the Department of Community Development.
