., . MEMORANDUM DATE: March 5, 1993 TO: Mayor and Council Planning commission FROM: Catherine Iago, Community Planning Coordinator John Bergly, Planning Consultant David Kriesel, Building Inspector RE: CASE #93-02 - SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW BUILDING EXPANSION, W. W. GRAINGER, 4444 WEST ROUND LAKE ROAD At the regular Planning Commission meeting held Wednesday, March 3, 1993, Commission members expressed concern relating to the exterior building materials which will be utilized for the "Future Additions" to the W.W. Grainger building. Commission took action to recommend approval of the proposed expansion, with the south wall to be constructed with the same exterior building materials, since that is not a temporary wall. There was substantial discussion relating to proposed . future expansion of the site and requiring the future additions to be constructed with exterior building materials as required by the new Gateway Business District guidelines. commission also discussed landscaping in the rear of the site to provide a buffer, if the U.S. Fish and wildlife Services installs a walking path around the lake and to lessen any visual impact from the residences across the lake. This was the rationale for requiring the applicant to submit a status report four years from the date of approval. The Planner, Building Inspector and I have discussed the action taken by Planning commission and to allow for easier implementation of the conditions imposed by Commission, we would recommend the Council consider the following condition to replace Item (a) listed on the Planning Action Request: a. That the north and east temporary walls of the structure are acceptable as painted concrete block walls and that plans for future expansion of the building show construction of the permanent north and east walls with uniform concrete panel material to maintain the continuity of the existing building materials, and which include enhancement of the structure by one of the following methods: 1) Utilizing building materials required by the Gateway Business District regulations; 2) The addition of an approved decorative . enhancement to the walls, which may be carried through to the existing structure; or, 3) Landscaping enhancement to the site on the north and east areas.
