COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br />Building Permit <br />IP- November 12, 1974 <br />Request: Council authorization of building permit for expansion of <br />foundry building <br />Applicant: Kausel Foundry <br />Location`: 350 - 1st St. SW <br />Zoning: I-2 <br />Size of Building: Ground Floor - 231'6" x 2386" = 55,213 <br />Mezzanine 47' high 3,650 <br />Total 58,863 sq. ft. <br />Exterior Treatment: Metal panels matching existing building <br />Discussion: <br />The Council has already approved a rear yard setback <br />variance for the proposed expansion and is also being asked to <br />approve a height variance. With these exceptions, the proposed <br />building meets all Code requirements. <br />Problems regarding parking spaces and drainage which were <br />previously noted to the Planning Commission have been corrected and <br />we now see no problems with the proposal. <br />The area closest to 1st Street will be considerably improved <br />with the addition of curbing, landscaping and a screen wall. The <br />final result should be extremely attractive. <br />Planning Commission Consideration (10-15-74): <br />The Chairman read the background discussion. <br />Thomas Stahl, architect for the applicant, and Chuck Kausel <br />were present to answer questions. <br />Harty asked if the 40' height limitation was the result of <br />a concern for fire protection. <br />The Building and Planning Coordinator stated that he did not <br />know the origin of this specific requirement and that he had not yet <br />received any commentary from the Fire Department regarding the plans
