Presentation Mr. Bud Chandler of the Chandler-Wilbert Vault Company stated that his company is proposing to add a two story office and receiving dock addition measuring IS feet by 86 feet across part of the Hamline side of the building. This addition is to have its front in line with the present office at the northwest corner of the building. Mr. Chandler stated that he is asking for a variance to the density since this addition would put him slightly over the requirement of floor area and land area ratio. He further stated that the exterior treat- ment of the addition would be identical to the present structure, and that he hoped to start construction as soon as possible. Discussion A question was raised as to whether or not this addition should conform to the new code and requirements for industrial property or should we permit variance~ 'to properties that come under the so-called "Grandfather Clause". Mr. Dahlgren indicated that he had not reviewed a total site plan with the applicant for the entire property. Mr. Dalhgren felt that this was necessary in order to review not only this addition but possibly any future additions to this structure. It appears that the central question in this matter is not the variance to density requirements, but how the new addition conforms to the total site plan of this property. There was also a question as to whether or not there would be any green area left in the front of the company. It was indicated that there would be no green area remaining in the front of the building. There was also a question as how the new overpass on Hamline Avenue would affect the vision of the property. Mr. Goldberg indicated that the road would place anyone coming across the overpass at approximately 5 - 6 feet higher elevation than presently exists. There was also a question as to whether or not this addition would increse the employees for the company. Mr. Chandler indicated tllat there would be no new employees contemplated at this time, that the addition was just to enlarge the present facilities for office and employee lounge facilities. Recommendation Johnson, Moved, Demos Seconded, that we recommend that the Chandler-Wilbert Vault Company request for variance to density at 2280 North Hamline Avenue be approved subject to the applicant presenting a total site plan for consideration by the Village Council. Roll Call, Ayes: Johnson, Demos, Eagles, Edlund, ~1embrez. Nays: None.
