<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />August 26, 1997 <br /> <br />Page 8 <br /> <br />Council Business. continued <br /> <br />Terry presented a site plan review to construct a 57,900 sq. ft. addition onto an existing <br />building at 200 9th Ave. Business Data Records proposes to increase their total building <br />area to 160,480 sq. ft., but they will need to submit a proof of parking agreement prior <br />to building permit issuance. The addition complies with district and parking standards. <br /> <br />Samuelson asked why the City is not requiring additional landscaping. Terry explained <br />that the existing mature landscaping effectively screens the site from adjacent properties. <br /> <br />Benke voted against the original proposal presented years ago, however, this is a <br />significant improvement over the original layout. He suggested additional windows and <br />use of a different exterior material. Murlawski, architect, said the addition will be <br />mainly used for record storage space for clients. The exterior's precast concrete panels <br />are very similar to nearby buildings, and the addition will help diminish outside trailer <br />storage. Locke said this site is zoned industrial, and the City does not have much <br />discretion over aesthetic issues. However, the addition will reduce outside trailer <br />storage, and adjacent properties are well maintained and landscaped. <br /> <br />Benke asked if there is a need for vehicle access on the eastside. Murlawski said smaller <br />trucks will be directed to the east. Benke had hoped that they could eliminate the east <br />entrance. Murlawski said the angle of Hwy 8 would prevent closure of that access. <br /> <br />Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Samuelson, to APPROVE LP-329, SUBJECT TO <br />THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: <br />1. SUBMITTAL OF A PROOF OF PARKING AGREEMENT PRIOR TO <br />ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMIT FOR THE PROPOSED ADDITION. <br />2. APPROVAL OF GRADING AND DRAINAGE PLAN BY CITY <br />ENGINEER. <br />3.
