Planning Commission Minutes Wednesday, March 3, 1982 -2- The variance to side yard setback is being requested to permit the construction of an accessory storage building to within five feet of the north property line. The required setback is ten feet. The variance to the sidewalk requirement is requested because the storm sewer has not been constructed around the property, and it would make more sense to construct the sidewalk after the sewer is in place. Mr. Dahlgren indicated that he did feel the sidewalk should be constructed at that time. Mr. Pope, architect representing the applicant, reviewed the development plan. He discussed the proposed storage building on the northern portion of the property, and indicated the yard would be completely screened by masonary wall. The entrances to the yard would have a solid gate which would complete the screening. Mr. Pope stated the applicant has no problem with building the sidewalk at a later time after the storm sewer is constructed. Mr. Pope indicated the Hoffman firm originally planned a two-story office building, but is reviewing the possibility of adding a third story if it is economically feasible. Mr. Pope commented there is sufficient property available to meet the parking requirements for the additional third story. Discussion Mr. Rukavina asked if the building would be sprinklered. Mr. Pope responded they had not decided whether to sprinkle the building, but that all codes would be met. Mr. Moeller asked what material would be used in the construction of the new storage building. Mr. Pope indicated it would be the same as the office building. Mr. Rukavina asked if the Commission should be considering a recommendation for a two-story or three-story building. After discussion, it was concluded that the Commission could approve a three-story building, and require the applicant to provide a revised site plan showing the required parking for the additional square footage of building, prior to the Council public hearing. Mr. Drown indicated that Fulham Street is presently a three-ton road, and that Hoffman would not be able to drive their large vehicles on it during the Spring of the year. He also indicated that ponding is not provided on the site, but may occur in an existing pond, located to the west. This will require a storm sewer system to move the water from the site to that pond. Mr. Drown indicated that Hoffman is petitioning for the upgrading of Fulham, and also for the construction of the necessary storm sewer.
