Grainger Inc (David Linner) <br />4444 West Round Lake Road <br /> <br />Request <br /> <br />Consider a motion to approve Planning Case 07-002 for a Conditional Use Permit to modify the <br />exterior of the building at 4444 West Round Lake Road based on the findings of fact and the <br />submitted plans as amended by the five conditions in Planning Case 07-002. <br /> <br />Back!!round <br /> <br />The applicant, David Linner on behalf ofW.W. Grainger, Inc., is requesting a conditional use <br />permit to modify the exterior ofthe building at 4444 West Round Lake Road, which is a 28,682 <br />square foot building in the Gateway Business Zone. Section 1320.13 Subd I of the Zoning Code <br />requires a conditional use permit for modifying the exterior of a building in the Gateway <br />Business (GB) Zone. The applicant is proposing to relocate and redesign the entrance to the <br />building to match the entryway design of other Grainger buildings in the metropolitan area. <br />Grainger is a wholesale industrial supply company and is a conforming use in the GB Zone. <br /> <br />The existing entrance, which is proposed to be removed and integrated back into the wall of the <br />building, is a small vestibule with a red canopy on the west side of the building facing Round <br />Lake Road and Interstate 35W. The new entrance would be situated closer to the northeastern <br />comer of the building, but the entrance would still face west toward Round Lake Road and <br />Interstate 35W. The area around the new doorway would be re-faced with grey and red <br />aluminum composite pre-finished panels. A new black canopy would be installed above the <br />doorway along with a new sign. The applicant has submitted the designs for the new doorway <br />and pictures of another Grainger building that uses the same type of building entrance <br />(Attachment 3C-I of the report to the Planning Commission). <br /> <br />\\Melro~inet.us\ardellhillslPlanning\Planning Cases\2007\07-002 Grainger CUP (PENDING)\021207 - CC Report - Grainger CUP.doc <br />Page I of2 <br />
