Assessment Roll for the 2006 PMP-Ridgewood Neighborhood Improvements at the interest rate of 9 percent. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). 7. NEW BUSINESS A. Planning Case 06-025: Site Plan Review - AMT Inc., 1300 Grey Fox Road Mr. Lehnhoff stated AMT Inc. is requesting a site plan review to add 36 parking stalls to the property at 1300 Grey Fox Road. Although AMT Inc. owns the building, J.J. Taylor Distributing, formerly known as East Side Bevcrage is a tenant. J.J. Taylor Distributing also occupies the building at 1260 Grey Fox Road, which is immediately east of the 1300 Grey Fox Road property. Grey Fox Road was recently rcconstructed, and all on-street parking was eliminated. Prior to the reconstruction, J.J. Taylor DistJibuting had been using Grey Fox Road for a portion of their parking needs. With the loss of the on-strcet parking, J.J. Taylor Distributing has been short on parking and had very crowded parking lots. This request is meant to provide adequatc parking for all employees and visitors on the property. The applicant is proposing to increase the number of parking spaces at 1300 Grey Fox Road by 36 from the cunent 31 stalls for a total of 67 stalls. The existing parking area will be re-striped to accommodate thil1een of the new stalls, and twenty-three new stalls will be created by removing thc grassy peninsula in the parking area. . . Although the submitted plans indicate that there will be 69 stalls on the sitc with the expansion, the applicant has optcd to not include two proposed stalls in the northeastern part of the property due, in part, to a potential cncroachment on the 20 foot parking setback from the front lot line. Currently, J.J. Taylor Distributing is sharing parking bctween the two properties that it is leasing. In terms of use, the two properties are used as one. The 1260 Grey Fox Road property has 87 parking stalls. With the requcsted site plan review, there would be 154 parking stalls between the two properties for the 140 employees at the two sites. The applicant has submitted a shared parking agreement between the owners of 1300 Grey Fox, 1260 Grey Fox, and J.J. Taylor Distributing. He stated the Planning Commission reviewed the plamling case and unanimously recommended approval of thc Site Plan Review to add 36 new parking stalls based on the submitted plans, elevcn findings of fact, and eight conditions. MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Larson seconded a motion to approve Planning Case 06-025: Site Plan Review - AMT, Inc., 1300 Grey Fox Road subject to the eight conditions as noted in stafrs September 7, 2006 report. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). .
