The Applicant is requesting flexibility in the color scheme and <br />materials proposed for the renovation and remodel of the existing automotive repair garage, service <br />station and car wash. <br />Background <br />At its June 5, 2019 meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved a Land Use <br />Application for a Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Site Plan Review at Brausen <br />Automotive Repair. At that time, the Applicant proposed to demolish the exiting service station <br />and carwash. The structures would be replaced with a new 7,978 square foot convenience store <br />and a 1,600 square foot carwash. In addition, the Applicant proposed a 4,505 square feet garage <br />and repair bay addition. During the PUD process the Applicant received approval for the general <br />site design, building architecture and materials, parking, carwash access, stormwater ponding, <br />landscaping and lighting. <br />Since receiving their approvals, the Applicant is requesting to modify the approved building <br />architecture and materials. The intent of the modifications are to improve the aesthetics of the <br />proposed buildings to better complement the existing repair garage. In order to incorporate the <br />existing repair garage into the design the Applicant is requesting flexibility to utilize pre-cast <br />panels on the proposed carwash and repair garage addition. Pre-cast concrete panels are a <br />construction material produced by casting concrete in a mold and then is cured. After the product <br />is cured, it is transported to the construction site and lifted/tilted into place (Figure 1). The <br />Applicant is requesting to utilize pre-cast panels because the product can be formed to match the <br />existing structure design.
