.' . . . -. Minutes of Regular Council Meeting, May 12 Page 5 Jacque Mevers, Karth Lake Drive, noted that the drawing dimensions displayed on the easel are not correct; the transparency of the area appears to be correct. Miller explained that the Planning Commission was not aware of a problem with the existing flag lot; explained that the Planning Commission identified the potential that a house could be sited within 30' of the south property - therefore restricted the setback on the flag lot at 30' to provide the same setback that could be expected if a single house were to be built on this lot. Miller noted that the vast majority of houses have greater than a 30' rear setback. Hicks asked the roadway frontage requirement for a single family lot. Miller said none is given in the current ordinance; noted the previous ordinance requirement was 20'; advised that the subdivision ordinance requires full frontage on a public street, but "full frontage" is not defined. Miller said he assumes that the developer of Karth Lake Estates may have left this parcel as an outlot in anticipation of eventually acquiring the Pilgrim House property and combining both parcels, and then subdividing for building sites. Peck asked the applicant what he would do if the lot split is not approved. Ward said he'll build one house to the rear of the lot, away from the traffic noise. Don Dean, owner of the lot on Karth Lake Drive east of Outlot B, said he acquired a portion of John Picha's lot behind him on STH 96; explained that Picha owned both lots; a 40' portion of the north lot was deeded to him because of an in-ground sprinkling system. Hicks moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council deny the minor subdivision of Outlot B, Karth Lake Estates, because stacked housing is not consistent with the area and does not enhance the neighborhood. Motion carried (Hicks, Hansen, Peck, Woodburn voting in favor of the motion; Sather voting in opposition). (4-1) . Case No. 86-15, Site Plan Review for Buildina Permit - Office/Warehouse. Round Lake Road West, Welsh Companies Council was referred to Planning memo (4/30/86); Planning Commission recommendations (minutes of 5/7/86) and to transparency of proposed site plan for a 75,000 square foot office/warehouse building on a 6-acre site on Round Lake Road West. Miller noted that, as proposed, the east wing will require a 10' setback variance from the south property line (20' setback required). Miller said he feels the proposed parking is adequate fora 50/50 warehouse/office split in this location; expressed concern re the on-site circulation, which he said would be improved by providing a loop drive around the east wing. Miller reported that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the site plan for the Welsh office/warehouse building subject to the following conditions: 1. Approval of grading and drainage plan by RCWD and City Engineer. 2. Reduction of the southeast wing of the building to eliminate the 10' setback variance. 3. Provision of a paved driveway loop to the rear of the building. 4. Approval of landscape plan by City Planner. In discussion, Miller said there is significant existing tree coverage at the north and south of the site which will suffice, without additional planting in these areas, if it can be retained. Paul Dunn, vice president of Welsh Company, noted that they previously built the Resistance Technology building on Red Fox Road; are desirous of building more in the north area. Dunn introduced Architect Frank Reese who showed sketches of building elevations and described the building exterior to be of decorative concrete block with large expanses of glass, with metal panels at the entrance. Reese said the entire building will be sprinklered. The applicants said they propose to reduce the east wing to provide a loop driveway and eliminate the setback variance. A drawing of the proposed lighting fixture was shown; all external lighting to be from the building, with hidden light source.
