<br /> Plan Evaluation: Ordinances <br /> . The applicable statutes from thc Zoning Ordinance in relation to the special use permit <br /> amendment and site plan rcquest are as follows: <br /> 1. Screenin g/Lan dscaping <br /> The Gatcway Business District does not havc specific scrcening requirements; however, <br /> Section 6.E,(j) of the Zoning Ordinance states: <br /> (j) Screening of Mechanical Operating Equipment: Screening shall also be <br /> providcd where mechanical equipment is located on the ground or on the roof of <br /> the premises; such screening shall be constructed and located so as to prevent <br /> direct view of said equipment Mechanical operating equipment shall include all <br /> exterior dcvices uscd to service the building or its occupants, including but not <br /> Iimitcd to electrical, HVAC, plumbing, communications (including telephone and <br /> dish antennae) and storage tanks. <br /> The fencc around the existing nitrogen tank is proposed to be extended twelve feet to the <br /> south to fully enclose the sccond nitrogen tank. The existing vegetation and fence for the <br /> air handling units, which were approved in Planning Case 06-003, would provide <br /> additional screening for the nitrogen tank from Round Lake Road. Given the small <br /> footprint of the project, it is unlikely that the additional tank would have an impact or be <br /> noticed from adjacent properties, Round Lake Road, or Interstate 35W. <br /> . A photo simulation of the tank and fence are included with the submittal from the <br /> applicant (Attachment 3A-l), <br /> 2. Parking <br /> The proposed nitrogen tank would not result in the loss of any parking spaces. However, <br /> as noted above, the applicant has indicated that a separate application will be sllbmitted <br /> for the August 2006 Planning Commission to expand parking on the site. <br /> 3. Environmental Pollution <br /> The nitrogen tank will not emit any noise or odors. <br /> Crty afArden Hills <br /> Planning Commissiun /vleetingfor July J 2. 2006 <br /> .
