<br /> <br /> <br />a <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Lake <br /> <br />Road. They propose to increase height space within area in order to <br />accomnlOdate a new plastic film extruder. The property/building owner has indicated <br />support for the roof height increase. <br /> <br />4.2 The structure was constructed in 1969; lies on a 430 foot wide by 1,395 foot long (13.77 <br />acres) parcel; has a Comprehensive Land Use designation of "I", Industrial; and has a <br />zoning designation of I-I, Light Industrial District. <br /> <br />4.3 The additional roof height is necessary to accommodate the plastic film extruder. This <br />machine is designed to cool plastic film as it exits the extruder and travels downward to <br />the separator (single wide sheet split into two sheets). From there the film is processed <br />into rolls. <br /> <br />4.4 Variance Conditions Proposed: <br /> <br />SECTION 1007.01E <br />Buildin Hei ht <br />45 feet <br /> <br /> <br />Condition <br /> <br />Pro osed Condition Variance Re uested <br /> <br />40 feet <br /> <br />60 feet 15 feet <br /> <br />5.0 STAFF COMMENTS/FINDINGS: <br /> <br />5.1 Section 1007.01E (Building Height) reads: "building heightfor mamif(lcturing, <br />laboratory, warehouse, and shO'vvroonz structures shall be no greater than 45 feet in any <br />industrial district. Office structures shall be linlited to 4 stories and a height of 60 feet in <br />any industrial district". The proposal by Hood Packaging would increase a portion <br />of a manufacturing area from 40 to 60 feet, thus a Variance of 15 feet is necessary <br />from Section 1007.01E. <br /> <br />5.2 The structure at 3075 Long Lake Road (Smurfit Stone building) is rectilinear facing Long <br />Lake Road. The rear of the building is adjacent to a rail spur and faces Highway 88. The <br />main level of the structure lies approximately 10 feet lower than the north bound lane of <br />Highway 88. The structure has a width of approximately 240 feet, a length of <br />approximately 940 feet and a height of roughly 30 feet. However, a small area currently <br />occupied by Hood Packaging has an existing roof height of 40 feet to accommodate their <br />existing extruder. <br /> <br />5.3 The proposal seeks to construct a 20 foot addition on to the northern portion of the 40 <br />foot high structure, either in the same location as the 40 foot section or a slightly larger <br />area of the roof (see attached plan). <br /> <br />5.4 Hood Packaging has indicated to staff that the new extruder will cost approximate $2.5 <br />million upon final completion of the project and is necessary to remain a competitive and <br />viable manufacturer in today's market. <br /> <br />PF3547 - ReA 022304 - Page 2 of 5 <br />
