The Commercial Committee met to consider the following items:
1. WITHDRAWN-Docket No. 19080009 DP/ADLS: Schafer Powder Coating—Building Expansion
S#eet-ate
2. Docket No. 18070013 ADLS Amend:Pennwood Professional Park-Revision
The applicant seeks site plan and design approval to modify a previously approved building from 3 stories to 2
stories.The site is located at approximately 11505 N. Pennsylvania Street and is about 3.76 acres in size. 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.
Petitioners: Kevin Buchheit:
• This is not a new site,but a slight modification since 2018. Reduced from 3 stories to 2.This resulted in a
decrease in parking footprint.
• I did not include side by side copies of the 2018 approval and the current request.
• Kevin passed around a document titled Site Plans Old and New(Committee handout 12-03-19).
• The Submitted Packet(Packet for COM 12-03-19)contains the amended site plan,amended landscape plan
reflecting initial comments from the Urban Forrester,revised building elevations under tab 3 (pages 7-8),
and revised building perspectives under tab 4(pages 9-10).
• There are a few items not before you tonight, but they are relatively minor. The items the Department of
Community Services(Staff) identified,we have no issue with complying with.
• The first is the vehicular access to Washington Blvd. I do not believe we planned full access onto
Washington Blvd.,but I seem to remember a possible comment for the Cannel Fire Department(CFD)for
an alternate access to the site because this is essentially because it is a large cul-de-sac.This might be an
emergency access. If this is the case, if Staff determines we need a variance then we will comply.Rachel
Keesling: In the approved site plan from last year one can see a grey hatched area near Washington Blvd.,
but there is no label there. When researching the area I asked if this was the emergency access. Kevin
Buchheit: There is a label that reads"15' Drainage&Access Easement."Rachel Keesling: But it is more
than 15'.Kevin Buchheit: it looks like it is.Rachel Keesling: I don't think that[label] is correct.That may
refer some of the other lines on the site plan.Kevin Buchheit: You are correct.
• Bike parking will be added to the site.On earlier iterations it was near the north access point,but it may be
best placed to the west of the sidewalk at the north entrance.
• Dumpster design; we did not have it submitted in the previous petition. I spoke with the project architecture
and he confirmed the materials will be compatible with the building skin.
• Site lighting details. It is in the process. I managed to compile all the CAD files,but they are just not
