RE: Approve Conditional Use Permit for Machine ShoplPlumbing Contractors Shop
at 1027 Michigan Street (Plan Commission recommends approval)
BACKGROUND
The subject property is a 0.4- acre117,500 square foot parcel of land located at the northwest
corner of Michigan Street and West 11 Avenue. The existing building was developed in
1939 as an industrial /light manufacturing class structure that had most recently been used as
Weber Machine Shop. The machine shop use was discontinued and the site has remained
vacant greater than 12 months, thereby removing its legal nonconforming status and
requiring a Conditional Use Permit for new light industrial uses.
ANALYSIS
The petitioner is proposing to establish a machine shop and plumbing contractors shop on
the currently improved lot which houses .a 5,000 square foot former machine shop and
accessory warehouse building. The structure possesses a commercial entrance with an
office and four servicelloading bays with 100 feet of frontage on Michigan Street and 175 feet
of frontage on West 11 Avenue. No improvements are planned for the site other than new
signage and general upkeep on the building and property. The business will only employ the
petitioner and will experience infrequent customers with hours of operations between 7 am
and 10 pm. The existing site layout contains a main access drive off Michigan Street with two
parking stalls and an additional drive off of 11 Avenue with a shared parking area with the
adjacent print shop. The petitioner is proposing to use the existing paved or gravel parking
and access areas of the site with the condition that no vehicles will encroach upon public
sidewalk or right -of -way and no outside storage of material will be allowed.
FISCAL IMPACT
None anticipated.
RECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission approved of this request at its May 7, 2013 meeting.
Approved,

ANALYSIS
The petitioner is proposing to establish a machine shop and plumbing contractors shop on the
currently improved lot. The property houses an approximately 5,000 square foot former machine
shop and accessory warehouse building that has a formal commercial entrance on Michigan Street,
office and four service /loading bays (two setback from the Michigan Street frontage and two on
the West 11 Avenue facade). The parcel is rectangular with 100 feet of frontage on Michigan
Street and 175 feet of frontage on West 11 Avenue. The petitioner has indicated that the property
is desirable for his intended uses as it is currently designed/developed for that type of business.
The petitioner does not plan to improve the site from its current state except new signage and
general upkeep on the building and property.
The petitioner has indicated that the business will employ only him and experience infrequent
customers with hours of operation anytime between 7 am and 10 pm. The existing site layout
contains a main access drive off Michigan Street north of the building leading to two of the service
bays /garage doors as well as to two parallel parking stalls next to the building. There is an
additional drive to the west of the building on West 11 Avenue accessing an existing gravel
driveway and shared parking area with the print shop at 526 West I 1 th Avenue. The petitioner
indicates that there is more than adequate space for his parking needs and deliveries and staff
recommends that vehicle access, parking and loading be limited to existing paved and
nonconforming gravel areas. Site and building elevation plans show that there are two service
bays/garage doors on the southern building facade which is located at the West I V t ' Avenue right -
of -way line tight against the sidewalk. Access to the building is provided from these service
bays /garage doors from the right-of-way which concerns staff in that loading could cause blocking
or encroachment on the public sidewalk or West 1 t Avenue right -of -way and staff therefore
recommends a condition that no vehicles block or encroach upon the public sidewalk or West 11 th
Avenue right -of -way.
In general, it does not appear that the proposed use, with conditions, will change the essential
character of the area from past use and will not be hazardous or disturbing to the area.
RECOMMENDATION /CONDITIONS
Staff recommends a finding that the proposed conditional use permit request is consistent with
Sections 30 -11(D) of the Zoning Ordinance and be approved with the following conditions:
1) Parking and vehicle access is limited to paved or gravel areas of the site.
2) No vehicles will block or encroach upon the public sidewalk or West 11 Avenue right -of-
way.
3) No storage of material or equipment outside of the building.
The Plan Commission approved of the conditional use permit as requested with conditions noted.
The following is the Plan Commission's discussion on this item.
Mr. Buck presented the item and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the zoning
classifications and land use in said area. He stated that the property is zoned C -3 Central
Commercial District and discussed the former use of the site. He further stated that the property
has been vacant for some time now so a new conditional use permit must be approved to allow the
Item -1027 Michigan - Machine Shop /Contractor CUP
proposed use. He discussed the current proposed use and reviewed the site plan, elevations, and
the conditions recommended for this request.
Mr. Thorns questioned if the petitioner was planning on utilizing the service bay /garage doors on
l 1 1h Avenue which are covered in condition #2 that vehicles could not encroach upon the sidewalk
or public right -of -way.
Mr. Buck responded that the petitioner could utilize the doors to access the building however there
would be no loading allowed in that area.
Jack Meyer, 1928 McCurdy Street, petitioner for the request, stated that he would be cutting in a
door on the opposite side of the building that would be used for loading purposes so the condition
relating to the doors on 11 Avenue should not be an issue.
Motion by Vajgrt to approve the conditional use permit to establish a machine
shop /plumbing contractor shop at 1027 Michigan Street with the following conditions:
1) Parking and vehicle access is limited to paved or gravel areas of the site.
2) No vehicles will block or encroach upon the public sidewalk or West IP Avenue right -of-
way.
3) No storage of material or equipment outside of the building.
Seconded by Cummings. Motion carried 8 -0.

Narrative for Conditional Use Permit
Existing and Proposed Use of the Property
The property is currently vacant. Weber Machine has since moved and has sold the building to
Jeffrey and Sandra Knutson The building was used for metal fabrication on first shift and
second shift. I would like to use the building for antique engine rebuilding and My plumbing
business.
Identification of All Structures on the Property
There is only one building on the property. There is not any signage on the property. I will not
be changing any of the building configurations and not changing any of the existing paving.
Projected Number of Residents, Employees, and /or Daily Customers
I plan on having no employees and very few clients. No residential units are planned at this
time.
Proposed Amount of Dwelling units, Floor Area, Landscape Area, and Parking Area
No dwelling units at this time. Floor are is 6940 Sq. Ft. (5185 first floor, 1755 second floor)
.1190312 acre footprint. Paved and concrete area 36045q. Ft...0827364 acre. Grass and gravel
8712 Sq. Ft. .1876033 acre. Total lot 175 X 100 = 17500 Sq. Ft. .4017447 acre. Parking
information is not required on C -3.
Effects on Adjoining Properties
I have spoken with all of the neighbors to this property. To the direct west of this building is a
print shop. They had no concerns at all. To the direct north of the property is a residential
dwelling. They expressed no concerns as well. There is a thick tree line and bushes in between
the properties. I asked him if he would like a fence. He said that he would prefer no fence so
that he can still walk his dog. The other home seemed to be abandoned and un- occupied that
was across the street. They had no problems with the hours of operation as the last time the
building was used there was a first and second shift. The hours of operation will be 7am to 10
pm maximum. The noise would be a minimum, less than the last occupants. Glare, odor, fumes
and vibration will be minimal to non - existent.. There will be no vibrations from any of my tools
and equipment. The hours of operation will be 7am to 10 pm maximum.
5
Compatibility of the Proposed Use with Adjacent and other Properties in the Area
This area is spotted with businesses and residential areas. We believe that we would fit into
the community quite easily, much better than a vacant building.
Traffic Generation
The traffic to and from this building would be minimal. There would not be many deliveries.
I pick up most of my materials at the supply house. It would not be open to the public. i or one
of my wholesalers would also have deliveries and pick -ups occasionally and a waste
management service.
Use of areas of building:
The West side of the building we would use as storage and garage space. The front entrance of the
building would be used as a lounge for myself, family, and customers. The basement would be used for
storage and the upstairs would not be used at this time. The room behind the office will be where the
main shop will be located. l have already spoken with the neighbors and they seem to have no problems
. I would like to install surveillance cameras as there seems to be a graffiti artist in the area. A sign John E
Meyer co. would be installed on the front of the building.
