Presentation Mr. Dahlgren indicated that several years ago the Vertimag building was constructed to the north of the proposed development with a temporary roadway to County Road C. The future access was to be via a cuI-de-sac. The original developers did not complete the cul-de-sac, leaving a potential problem for future development. The proposed development solves the problem by providing for the cul-de-sac. The applicant has petitioned for a public improvement for the cul-de-sac utilities. Mr. Dahlgren indicated the applicant is requesting two variances. 1) Variance to parking setback on the east (IS feet rather than 20 feet). 2) Front yard setback (on County Road C) 13.5 feet rather than 40 feet. Mr. Dahlgren indicated the applicant is providing a ponding area to the north which will serve the proposed development as well as the development to the north and future development to the east. This is what is causing the need for the building setback variance on County Road C. Dahlgren also indicated the 13.5 foot setback was arrived at by lining up the proposed building with existing buildings to the west. Mr. Klodt indicated they plan to heavily landscape near County Road C. Matson asked what the exterior materials were. Mr. Klodt indicated the east and south sides would be brick, and the north and west sides would be decorative painted block. Matson indicated the City prefers to have the same treatment on all sides of a building.
