4. Docket No. 45-03 DPfADLS; Mark Swanson Building
The applicant seeks to construct a multi-tenant building. The site is located at 550 East
106th Street. The site is zoned B-5/Business and is within the Home Place District
Overlay Zone.
Filed by Mark A. Swanson.
The applicant is requesting approval of a Development Plan and ADLS for the construction of an
office building. The site is located on the north side of 106th Street between Park and Ruckle
Streets. Please see the informational packet prepared by the applicant for an overview of the site
and proposed building elevations. The applicant has met with the department and discussed
several of the items listed below. The applicant should be prepared to discuss with the
Committee the modifications made to the proposal in response to these comments.
Development Plan:
ffi Approval of the DP will require dedication of additional right-of-way per the
U Thoroughfare Plan. The applicant should prepare and submit a replat (Secondary
0. Plat) of the existing l.ot to achieve the dedication as shown on the proposed site plan.
2. A path must be provided within the right of way of l06th Street. The Ordinance calls
for a 10' asphalt path. Widewalk is shown. The Path should be located along the
/ edge ofthe right-of-way line not angled in closer to the pavement edge.
.,./'3. Direct pedestrian access must be provided between the main entrance( s) of the
building and the street (connect parking lot walk to path).
v4. Identify a bicycle-parking area.
/5. An access easement should be provided between the parking areas and the lot to the
north. This should be identified on the replat and the grade of the parking areas
should be designed to allow forfin anticipation of a future connection.
4. The sidewalks along Park and Ruckle need to be extended to the north property line
with approaches at the entrance to each parking area.
ADLS:
1. J\rcbUtecbure:
a. The Ordinance calls for buildings to have flat fronts. This would be similar to the
plan originally submitted to the Department and reviewed at T AC. The current
proposal does not follow this direction. The sides of the building facing Park and
Ruckle are not anywhere close to flat. As currently proposed the building design
encroaches into the front yard setback along l06th Street. The Department will
not support a request for relief from the setback requirement.

b. Call out building materials on color elevations and provide material samples.
Greater coordination in composition is needed between the first and second floors.
c. Show any rooftop-m.ounted. equipment to confirm that the walls will screep. this
equipment. Specifically, the north side elevation does not appear to provide a
screen.
2. Signage:
a. The renderings illustrate signs and future sign placement. Please identify sign
materials and dimensions dfoverall sign areas.
b. An ADLS amendment will need to be submitted to address future signage if no
materials and size is submitted with this application.
3. Landscaping:
a. Additional shrubs are required along the parking lot perimeter at a rate of 30 per
100' of perimeter along the street sides. The intent is to create a solid screen.
b. Please explain the use of off-site plantings along the north side of the site.
c. Provide additional shrubs along the north edge of the parking areas.
Lighting:
a. A cut sheet needs to be submitted illustrating the type of proposed light fixtures
both in the parking lot and on the building.
b. Cut offs or shields should be used on the pole-mounted fixtures to prevent point
source glare.
The Department recommends that this item be forwarded back to the full Plan
Commission with a favorable recommendation after all comments and concerns are
addressed.
