I I I Council Meeting Minutes January 26, 1993 Page 6 Council Business. continued Mattila presented a simple plat approval of 8 proposed three lot industrial subdivision. The applicant requests approval of a simple plat which would not alter the lots lines of Pl-199, but change the legal description from a Metes and Bounds to a lot and block description. The plat is consistent with the minor subdivision PL-199 except the legal description would be simplified. Motion by Larson, seconded by Williams, to APPROVE PLAT PL-201. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. Mattila presented a special use permit to declare an area of special control and adopt a sign plan for a commercial shopping center at County Road E. The sign plan would allow each tenant one wall sign and expand the existing ground sign from 60 to 80 sq. ft. The City ordinance allows up to a 96 sq. ft. wall sign. The center name's will be the "County Road E Shopping Center". The center was struck by lightening last year and is undergoing structural improvements. The Planning Commission and staff recommend approval. Gunderman asked if other shopping centers have similar signs. Mattila verified that other centers have similar signage. Williams feels the remodeling and signage are favorable improvements. Motion by Williams, seconded by Larson, to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT AND DESIGNATE THE COUNTY ROAD E SHOPPING CENTER PAD SITE AS AN AREA OF SPECIAL CONTROL AND APPROVING SPECIAL USE PERMIT SP-171. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. Mattila presented a site plan review and a setback variance to construct an 6,100 sq. ft. addition onto the existing Accurate Press building. The site plan complies with 1- 1 district and parking standards except for the docking area which requires a four foot setback variance. The applicant proposes to eliminate the existing parking lot setback encroachment and remove the existing exterior storage area north of the building. The amount of landscaping would be increased. The dock area along 1 st Avenue would be located 36 feet from the 1 st Avenue right-of-way, therefore, a four foot setback variance is required. The unusual circumstance is the irregular lot shape bordered by public streets on three sides. As a result, the site area dedicated to the building setback is more than required for a industrial lot, thus resulting in a decrease in buildable area. Strict enforcement of the 40 foot setback would create an undue hardship.
