• 0 CASE NUMBER: 1573-85 APPLICANT: Ettinger Transfer and Leasing Corp. Page 2 square foot office space. The property has more than adequate area for parking and truck maneuvering space. The proposed structure will be built of pre -cast concrete panels. Attached is a reduced copy of the elevations of the structure as submitted by the applicant. 8. The new Ettinger operation and proposed construction will feature an expansion of the warehouse capabilities in conjunction with the truck transfer operations. Thus, the new use will be a combination of truck terminal and warehousing operations. Such warehousing is occurring on a larger scale in the Metropolitan Area wherein the truckers are warehousing products on site with the capability of a fast transfer to their ultimate destination. The computerization of inventory is one of the factors in this new method of handling products. The total proposal will conform to current zoning requirements and thus, not variances are needed. The construction of the additional grassed area and the curbing of the parking area will substantially improve `he appearance and the function of the site. 9. Your engineering staff comments in their report to us that the grading and utilities plans are incomplete. They suggest that an approval of the special use permit be conditioned upon staff approval of such plans. 10. The notes on the site plan indicate that landscaping will consist of "sod at the north landscaped areas; seed at the east, west, and south areas; and eight Norway Maple trees (2�" BB) located at the north landscaped area." The Planning Commission and Council may wish to condition the approval upon staff approval of the landscape plan so as to delineate more precisely and adequately the landscaping proposed. 11. You will note also that the site plan indicates a future expansion to occur to within ten feet of the rear property line. This rear yard setback in an I-2 District is required to be 20 feet. If a special use permit is applied to the property for truck terminal purposes, a future expansion of the warehouse could occur without Planning Commission and Council review if it conforms to the ordinance setback requirements. 12. The proposal then is for a special use permit for a truck terminal operation on the site which, if approved, could include conditions subjecting drainage, utilities, and landscape plans to review and approval by the City staff.
