Mayor Probst noted that a discussion regarding plans for the Ingerson Neighborhood, previously scheduled for this evening's meeting, had been postponed to the October 10 regular Council meeting. A. Planning Cases 1. Case #00-31, Hood Flexible PaCkaging, 1887 Gateway Boulevard, Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment Ms. Chaput explained that the applicant is requesting to amend the Planned Unit Development for 1887 Gateway Blvd, to allow the placement of a make-up air unit (_ 17' x 5'9") and a chiller condenser (-7' x 5'6") in front of one of the business' existing loading doors. Hood Flexible Packaging came before the City Council with Planning Case #00- I 7a to request the addition of two exterior solvent tanks, a catalytic oxidizer and the expansion of one overhead door to accommodate these additions. This case was approved with the following conditions: I. A minimum of three protective bollards be placed to protect the fence Structure. 2. The dock door closest to the oxidizer not be used once the oxidizer is in place. 3. Solvent tank and oxidizer screening be cedar wood construction, painted to match the building. 4. All rooftop mechanical devices be screened per code requirements. 5. Solvent tank placement meet building/fire code regulations. 6. No detectable odors from the printing process be present on the exterior of the building. . Planner Chaput stated that the proposed make-up air unit is required for the operation of Hood Flexible Packaging to bring warm air into the building in the wintertime to equalize airflow. A lot of air is exhausted out of the building and air must be returned to the building so that negative air pressure is not created. It would be difficult to open doors or efficiently dry printed materials without it. This would be located directly in front of one of the dock doors so the loading dock would no longer be utilized. The chiller condenser is also required to chill water that in turn cools down presses and machinery for the operation of the business. This would be placed to the south of the make-up air unit along the bUilding. Section VI, E, 4, j of the Zoning Ordinance requires that, "Screening shall also be provided where mechanical operating equipment is located on the ground or on the roof of the premises.. . constructed and located to prevent direct view of the equipment". Screening types may be a fence, wall or landscaping area, It is the property owner's responsibility to provide . screening, as required.
