Adjournmejg Application Filed on 10 -27 -05 • City Council Action Should Be Taken By 12 -26 -05 (60 Days) Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 2005 -017 Applicant: Industrial Fund I, LLC Location: 1600 & 1700 Freeway Boulevard Request: Preliminary Plat The applicant, Industrial Fund I, LLC, the owner of the property addressed as 1600 and 1700 Freeway Boulevard, is seeking preliminary plat approval to divide that property into two lots so that each of the two buildings currently on that lot would be located on a separate lot. The property under consideration is zoned I -1 (Industrial Park) and is located at the northeast corner of Freeway Boulevard and James Avenue North. It is bounded on the north by I -1 zoned property containing an industrial building; on the east by R -5 zoned property containing an apartment complex use; on the south by Freeway Boulevard with C -2 (Commerce) zoned property on the opposite side of the street; and on the west by James Avenue North with I -1 zoned property on the opposite side of the street. The subject property is 257,931 sq. ft. in area (5.9213 acres) with a legal description of Lot 3, Block 1, Twin Cities Interchange Park and Outlot A, Brooklyn Center Industrial Park Plat 2. It • contains two approximate 122 ft. x 332 ft. industrial buildings separated by a shared loading area. The loading area is screened from Freeway Boulevard by a masonry wall running between the two buildings. The proposed plat would divide this lot into two lots by establishing a new north/south property line down the middle of the loading area to create separate lots for the two existing buildings. The new legal descriptions would be Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Interchange Addition. The proposed Lot 1, would be 120,970 sq. ft. (2.7771 acres) and contain the building addressed as 1700 Freeway Boulevard. The proposed Lot 2 would be 136,961 sq. ft. (3.1442 acres) and contain the building addressed 1600 Freeway Boulevard. Each of the lots and buildings on them would meet the minimum requirements for lots and buildings in the I -1 zoning district such as lot width, area, building setbacks and parking. There would continue to be a shared driving/access area to the loading docks at the rear of the two buildings and necessary cross access agreements will be needed for this arrangement. The parking requirement for buildings in an I -1 zone is a combination of the office and industrial parking formulas; one space for every 200 sq. ft. of gross floor area for the office portions of the building and one space for every 800 sq. ft. of gross floor area for the industrial/production / storage area of the building. Sufficient parking exists to meet these parking formulas. The building at 1600 Freeway Boulevard can accommodate more office space than 1700 Freeway Boulevard because there are more parking spaces on that proposed lot. • 11 -17 -05 Page 1 The City Engineer/Director of Public Works is reviewing the preliminary plat and his written comments will be attached for the Commission's review. Separate sewer and water lines will be required to the two buildings. Utilities to serve the buildings are located in Freeway Boulevard. The City Engineer will recommend that 10 ft. wide drainage and utility easements be established around the perimeter of the properties. Access to the properties is unchanged, separate accesses off Freeway Boulevard for each of the proposed lots and also one off James Avenue North to the proposed Lot 1. Cross access through the lots will exist and should be memorialized through an appropriate agreement. A public hearing has been scheduled for the preliminary plat application and notice of the Planning Commission's consideration has been published in the Brooklyn Center Sun/Post. RECOMMENDATION The proposed preliminary plat appears to be in order and is a relatively simple division of the lot. Approval of the application is recommended subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances. 3. Ten foot wide drainage and utility easements shall be indicated around the perimeter of the properties as recommended by the City Engineer. 4. Appropriate cross access agreements, in a manner approved by the City Attorney, . shall be executed and filed with the final plat. 11 -17 -05 Page 2 f� not uni W11 i 1111!l.(If((t i � lititl l!liil ' , r ■� a■ " ■M ■■ ■• tt1111i1 � • �� End Is YEA tj LOGISMap Output Page Page 1 of 1 • I I I • httn:// izis. loizis. orE/ servlet/ com. esri.esrimaD.Esriman ?ServiceName =hc T,CXTTSMan OV&... 11/9/2005 City of Brooklyn Center A Millennium Community • MEMORANDUM DATE: November 15, 2005 TO: Ron Warren, Planning and Zoning Specialist 22 FROM: Todd Blomstrom, Director of Public Worksy SUBJECT: INTERCHAGE ADDITION Preliminary Plat Review Planning Commission Application 2005 -17 Public Works Department staff reviewed the preliminary plat for INTERCHANGE ADDITION dated October 27 2005 as submitted for review under Planning Commission Application 2005 -017.
