PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 6 '\ugust 1986 1682 J. R. Johnson Supply, Inc. Between Long Lake Road and 35W, South of Burlington Northern Tracks (see sketch) Special Use Permit for Site Plan Approval 1. A portion of this site in question was originally developed as a pre -cast concrete plant. It was acquired by the J. R. Johnson Supply company around the year 1972, where they then moved to from St. Anthony Village. The land is zoned B-4, having been rezoned with contiguous properties to the south and north (across the tracks) as a part of the overall tax increment planning district. The existing uses are allowed to expand under the provisions of the B-4 District. A special use permit is required In the B-4 District, however, for any changes and/or expansion of the site. 2. It is possible that over the long-range, the site could be subject to redevelopment, pending successful redevelopment of the property to the south In the overall tax increment district. 3. In our staff discussions with the applicant, we have noted this fact and suggested that Improvements to the site be done with these long-range possibilities In mind. We interpret this to suggest that changes and additions to the present site should be done with quality material that will enhance the existing and proposed structures, but not with such expensive materials as to ultimately make It more difficult to finance a redevelopment of the total site. With this objective In mind, an exposed aggregate finish on pre -cast concrete wall panels Is proposed as a finish material. 4. Attached is a statement prepared by the applicant's architect, Korsunsky Krank Erickson Architects, Inc., outlining the proposal. Also attached are reduced copies of drawings indicating the existing development (the first sheet) end the proposed development plan, building elevations, landscape plan, drainage, and property survey. 5. The work is to be done In three stages of which the most important phase, in our opinion, Is Phase One. That Phase, to be constructed In 11986 and 1987, will include a total redevelopment of the land not occupied by structures, including the implementation of the landscape plan. Also included in the first Phase Is Lhe removal of two-thirds of the temporary greenhouses, to be replaced by the warehouse structure.
