HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes PC 10-16-18 Committee Comments: Alan Potasnik • Everything has been included in the following presentations and Department Report. • I gave the public an opportunity to add any new material at the October 2nd Commercial Committee.No new material was added at that time. Susan Westermeier • The address will be the same address as the St. Vincent's Heart Center(St. Vincent's), but with a different street? • Steve Pittman-The property records list the address as 201 W. 106t St. The commitment is to seek an Illinois St address. I have always referred to this property as 10580 N. Illinois St.because it is across from St.Vincent's. The main curb cut will be on Illinois St. • I am worried that people will be confused with both properties having the same numbered address because there is not access to St.Vincent's from Meridian. • Steve Pittman-We will request that the address number is not the same as St. Vincent's. John Adams • I was the member of the Commercial Committee that voted against the petition. • It is the fundamental goal of the Commission to preserve the privacy and property values of adjacent neighbors, especially residential properties. When residential zoning districts are rezoned to commercial in residential areas not enough sufficient attention is given to the purpose of zoning,which is why I do not feel there is a compelling reason to rezone this property from residential to commercial. • I want to compliment Mr. Pittman and his associates with regards to how acceptable this proposal is. • Steve Pittman-Thank you for the compliment and I respect your position and principals. Tom motions to forward Docket No. 18070001 to City Council with Favorable Recommendation, Laura seconds,motion passes 7-1,Adams,absent Kirsh. 9. Docket No. 18070013 ADLS Amend:Pennwood Professional Park. 10. Docket No. 18070014 V: UDO SECTION 3.06.B.3.f.: "All buildings shall be designed with respect to the general character of the US 31 Corridor and,particularly,with due consideration to buildings located on lots that abut the subject property." The applicant seeks site plan and design approval with a variance for a new building to be constructed on 3.76 acres.The site is located at approximately 11505 N. Pennsylvania Street. It is zoned B-5/Business and is located within the West Homeplace Commercial Corridor, High Intensity Overlay Zone. Filed by Kevin Buchheit of Krieg Devault on behalf of the owner, SCB Home Office,LLC. Petitioner: Kevin Buchheit(Krieg Devault) • A few adjustments have been made since the last Commission meeting on September 18t. • The site plan now includes a modified sidewalk running perpendicular to the western side of the building and not the sidewalk. • Bicycle parking is now included near the north entrance of the building. There is space for eight bicycles. • The lighting plan now include fixtures to the building itself. The yellow outline is the boundary for illumination(Page 3 of Submitted Packet). • The final rendering of the building was shown(Page 4 of Submitted Packet). • The western face is broken up more with additional windows and the horizontal lines better reflect the architecture west of Pennsylvania St. in the Meridian Corridor. Additionally,the west end of the building was shortened and the architectural features have been emphasized. • The remainder of the materials in the submitted packet include the floor plans and approved Landscape Plan. Department Report: Rachel Keesling Plan Commission Minutes 10-16-18 8 • This is the third version of a building for this site(Docket Nos. 06070008 & 16080012). The site plans are relatively similar but the design has changed with each instance. Staff is comfortable with the presented design. The variance is required because the proposed building is more modern than the surrounding buildings.The UDO stipulates that"All buildings shall be designed with respect to the general character of the US 31 Corridor and,particularly, with due consideration to buildings located on lots that abut the subject property."The lots that abut contain one-story brick building with a traditional design to the south and a two-story building to the north. Staff has worked with the petitioner in order to blend more brick and stone into the modern design. • Staff is in support of the variance. • An access drive does bisect the site for the building to the north. It is the only access for the northern lot. • Bicycle parking and sidewalks have been provided. • A previous plan was approved for the site(Docket No.16080012). • Landscaping has been approved by the Urban Forester. • The petitioner will come back for signage,via an ADLS Amendment,and is not a part of approval at this point in time. • One previous variance exists to allow parking in the front(Docket No.16120010). • Staff recommends approval. Committee Comments: Alan Potasnik • There is nothing more I can add that has already been discussed. Brad Grabow • I asked for a sample of the brick color at the September 18th Commission meeting. I was concerned it would be too dark. Was this brought in or shown? • Alan Potasnik-Yes. It was to the satisfaction of the Commercial Committee members that it would not be too dark. John Adams • This will be a real treat for those driving down 116`h St. It will be a nice addition. John motions to approve Docket Nos. 18070013-14,Alan seconds,motion passes 8-0,absent Kirsh. Brad Grabow-Michael,thank you for all your years of service on the Commission.You have worked hard and that has not gone unnoticed. Michael Casati-I have enjoyed my experience on the Commission. This has been an efficient,professional,and pleasurable experience. Staff has worked hard and provided quality work and guidance.The City of Cannel should be proud. J. New Business-None K.
