." ~' e e e Request: LP-34, Review of landscape and plot plan for proposed new diesel repair shop Applicant: Belair Corporation Location: 403 - 8th Ave., NW (South of Dairy Queen) Zoninq: I-2 Size of Structure: 100' x 70. = 7,000 Square Feet Heiqht: 21 Feet (2 Story) Exterior Treatment: "Splyt Face" block, break off block, and painted concrete block DISCUSSION The applicant is requesting a building permit for a new diesel repair shop. The business of the shop would essentially be the repair and cleaning of semi tractors. The property is presently being used by Midwest Welding. The floor plan indicates areas for a repair shop, steam clean- ing room, stock room, and offices. Access to the property is shown to be from one (I) driveway off of 8th Avenue. The driveway, parking areas and all maneuvering areas are to be blacktopped. Curbing would be provided from 8th Avenue to a point even with the extended line of the front wall. Fifteen parking spaces are provided: 6 on the north side of the building, 7 on the east, and ,? spaces on the south side. The plans submitted indicate that the repair shop would have drive- through lanes through the use of overhead doors on the north and south sides of the building. Refuse storage would be con- tained within the building. The building has been set back 112 feet from 8th Avenue, necessitated because of an existing sewer easement. The building as shown would be approximately two feet from the easement. While this is permissible, we would suggest that the building be positioned slightly farther east (perhaps 5 feet farther). As shown on the landscape plan, the applicant is proposing various plantings within the easement, which in the event of needed sewer repair would have to be removed. positioning the building slightly farther to the east could alleviate this potential problem.
