Other Business 8. Adjournment i i Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 95007 Applicant: Cass Screw Machine Products, Co. Location: 3615 and 3607 48th Avenue North Request: Preliminary Registered Land Survey The applicant is seeking approval of a Preliminary Registered Land Survey that will combine Tracts C and D of RLS 952 into one lot. The property in question is zone I-2 (General i Industry) and is addressed as 3615 and 3607 48th Avenue North. It is bounded on the north by 48th Avenue; on the east by an industrial building addressed as 3601 48th Avenue North; on the south by 47th Avenue North and various outlots which prevent this site from gaining access to 47th Avenue; and on the west by the industrial building addressed as 3625 48th Avenue North. Currently Tract C of RLS 952 is a 90 ft. by 262.76 ft. (approximately 23,640 sq. ft.) parcel addressed as 3615 48th Avenue North, while Tract D is a 80 ft' by 262.76 ft. (approximately 23,021 sq. ft.) parcel addressed as 3607 48th Avenue North. ' ne combination of the two parcels into a proposed Tract A of a yet unnumbered RLS would create a 170 ft. by 262.76 ft. parcel of approximately 44,669 sq. ft. or 1.025 acres allowing the two buildings on these sites to be combined into a single building. The minimum lot'width requirement in the I-2 zoning district is 100 ft. Therefore, the combination of the two lots will be an irrevocable combination in that the city will not allow • a future subdivision of this property to recreate the existing loi widths once this combination has been accomplished. The applicant is aware that this combination is, for all practical purposes, irrevocable. The applicant has made a connection of the two buildings necessitating the need to combine these parcels into a single lot. Section 35-540 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that multiple parcels under common ownership and serving a common use be combined into a single parcel through Platting or Registered Land Survey. The parcel to the west, Tract B, RLS 952, is owned by a separate entity and is not required to-be included in this combination. That parcel is 100 ft. by 262.76 ft. and meets the minimum lot requirements for I-2 lot. A drive-way easement of 24 ft. in width is proposed along the westerly property line of the proposed Tract A (13 ft.) and along the easterly property.line of the existing Tract B, RLS 952 (11 ft.) which will allow common access to the two properties. These easement documents will be required to be filed with the title to the two properties to memorialize this shared access and driveway arrangement. The survey of the properties indicated an existing minimum front yard setback of 23.41 ft. from the northeast corner of the building to the 48th Avenue right-of-way. A 10 ft. building setback is met along the existing east property line and the proposed east property line for 5-25-95 Page 1 A Tract A, while an approximate 15 ft. building setback will be provided from the proposed west property line of Tract A. Building additions are allowed to be made to these properties • provided they meet the existing minimum yard setback requirements. Because the proposed Registered Land Survey involves property of less than five acres, no Watershed Commission review is required. A public hearing has been scheduled for this Preliminary Registered Land Survey and a notice of the Planning Commission consideration has been published in the Brooklyn Center Sun/Post. RECOMMENDATION The proposed Preliminary Registered Land Survey appears to be in order and 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. I 2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances. 3. A driveway and access easement of 24 ft. in width shall be filed with the title to the properties in question. The easement width shall be 13 ft. for the proposed Tract A and shall be 11 ft. in width along the easterly property line of Tract B, RLS 952. i 5-25-95 Page 2 III Ivl j I j;; r E 2_ GAS 0 ` l � it iJ i j i > ^ i ! 1 11,� i •.r MAIL 1 I ^n j l !

Location: 3615 & 3607 48th Avenue North Request: Site and Building Plan Approval The applicant is seeking Site and Building Plan Approval to combine the buildings addressed as 3615 and 3607 48th Avenue North into a single building on a single parcel of land and to provide and complete accompanying site improvements to the property. The property in question is zoned I-2 (general industry) and is the site of the proposed land combination comprehended under Planning Commission Application No. 95007. It is bounded on the north by 48th Avenue North; on the east by an industrial building addressed as 3601 48th Avenue North; on the south by 47th Avenue North and various outlots which prevent this site from gaining access to 47th Avenue North; and on the west by the industrial building addressed as 3625 48th Avenue North. ACCESS/PARKING Access to the property is to be gained via a shared access with the property to the west, which is addressed as 3625 48th Avenue North. A shared access and driveway easement are proposed all along the westerly side of the subject site to allow full access from 48th Avenue to both buildings. The building addition, which has already been made, combines the two buildings previously addressed as 3615 and 3607 48th Avenue North with a connection at the Sapproximate middle point of both buildings. This creates a total building area of 15,184 sq. ft. Parking for this site is based on a combined office and industrial parking formula. The applicant has indicated that no more than 10% of the total building area will be utilized-for office purposes with the balance being utilized for production purposes. Based on an application of the parking formula for the building area, a total of 25 parking spaces are required for this 15,184 sq. ft. building (8 parking spaces for approximately 1,518 sq. ft. of office and 17 parking spaces for approximately 13,666 sq. ft. of industrial space). The applicant has provided 25 parking spaces at various locations on the site. Two parking spaces are located to the northwest of the building, three spaces to the rear of the westerly portion of the building and three parking spaces to the rear of the easterly portion of the building. Seventeen parking spaces are provided at the south end of the site. It should-be noted that even a few more parking spaces could be provided in some of these areas. The drive lanes servicing the rear of the building to the parking lots and also to the two loading berths at the rear of the building are adequate to accommodate cars as well as trucks servicing the building. The zoning ordinance requires at least a minimum of one loading berth for this size building. The applicant proposes two loading berths at the rear of the site, one in the center backing up to where the buildings are attached and one to the southeast corner of the building. -Both exceed the minimum requirements of 12 ft. by 50 ft. for these loading berths. In addition, there currently is a concrete driveway off 48th Avenue North that serves an inside loading . 5-25-95 Page 1 berth, which is utilized for deliveries. The inside berth is 12 ft. by 26.5 ft. and should • accommodate smaller vehicles. No parking or storage of vehicles should be allowed in the truck access drive between the building and the street. GRADING/DRAINAGE/UTILITIES The applicant has provided a drainage plan that proposes to surface drain the parking lots and driveway areas onto the 48th and 47th Avenue right-of-ways. There is no storm sewer in either 48th Avenue North or 47th Avenue North. The site will, for the most part, drain to the south portion of the property where B-612 curb and gutter has already been installed, or will be installed. The drainage plan comprehends addressing this site and the neighboring site at 3625 48th Avenue North as this will be a continuous paved area through both properties. Three openings along the south curb line will allow water to drain off of this area and into a 25 ft. landscape area to the south of the curb. The parking lot elevations are approximately 5 to 7 ft. higher than the edge of the pavement along 47th Avenue. The zoning ordinance requires buffering and screening requirements where I-2 zoned property abuts with R-4, R-5, R-6 or R-7 zoned property at a street line. The property south of 47th Avenue is zoned R-5 and is made up of a number of apartment complexes. To meet the buffering, landscaping and screening requirements of the ordinance, the applicant is proposing to berm this area with a proposed berm that will be approximately 3 ft. higher than the parking lots and about 4 to 7 ft. higher than the center line of 47th Avenue North. As indicated previously, there is no storm sewer in 48th or 47th Avenue for the applicant to tie into. When Omni Tool, which is located on the north side of 48th Avenue North, expanded its operation a couple of years ago, the City required that applicant to enter into an agreement requiring the property owner to install and connect to city storm sewer at such time as it became available. There may, in the future, be a street improvement project including storm sewer along 48th Avenue North and, at that time, this applicant would be expected as well to undertake the necessary on-site storm sewer improvements as well as to connect to available storm sewer in the public right-of-way. The applicant's site plan shows the creation of a new driveway servicing the two properties from 48th Avenue North. They propose to delineate the driveway with painted islands indicating no parking. It is recommended that a new driveway with a width no greater than 24 ft. at the property line be established by installing B-612 curb and gutter to delineate the driveway area as well as to define the parking spaces proposed. This would be required on both properties and the plan should be amended to indicate this addition. As indicated previously, there is existing B-612 curb and gutter already installed around.a portion of the perimeter of the property; particularly along the south side of the two properties. B-612 curb and gutter will need to be installed along the east end of the rear parking and loading area between the southeasterly corner of the property and the building creating a 5 ft. strip between the parking lot and the easterly property line. The plans call for this area to be sodded. 5-25-95 Page 2 • LANDSCAPING The applicant has submitted a landscape plan in response to the landscape point system used for evaluating such plans. The applicant is also proposing to provide landscaping to meet the screening required along the south side of the property. As previously mentioned, a 25 ft. buffer and landscape area is required in this area and they are proposing a berm projecting above the parking lot and sloping down to 47th Avenue North to provide necessary and required screening. There are various breaks in the berm to accommodate the drainage previously mentioned. The landscape point system would require 60 landscape points for this 1.025 acre site. Although the property to the west is technically not required to provide site and landscape improvements, the applicant is proposing to make improvements to the property, which have been previously outlined. It is also the applicant's intent to provide landscape screening along the rear of the property at 3625 48th Avenue as well. That property would also be required to provide 60 landscape points to be consistent with the City's landscape point system. The applicant's proposal for landscaping well exceeds the minimum of 60 landscape points. For the combined site, where the building addition is being made, a total of 186 landscape points are proposed. Two additional Green Ash trees are proposed in the grass area between the building and 48th Avenue right-of-way to go along with an existing Ash tree. An additional Green Ash tree is to be provided in the landscape area just in front of where the buildings are to be attached. The majority of landscaping takes place in the 25 ft. . buffer area to the south of the site. Eight new 2 1/2" Maple trees are proposed in this area along with ten Spruce trees that are to be 5 ft. in height at planting and will be interspersed with twelve Red Twig Dogwoods. On the adjacent site, the applicant notes the existence of three Spruce trees to the north of that building and eight existing Maple trees to the south. The applicant is proposing to add seven, 5 ft. high Spruce trees interspersed with six Red ` Twig Dogwoods to provide continuous berming and landscape screening from the apartment complexes to the south. Again, the proposed landscape treatment well exceeds the landscape point requirements for an industrial use. BUILDING The building connection is made to the center of the two buildings creating the 15,000+ sq. ft. building. The Building Official has briefly reviewed this building with respect to building codes and has noted that the building size is acceptable under the building code, but that a fire sprinkler system will have to be provided throughout the entire building. LIGHTING/TRASH The applicaant's plans to this point do not indicate the location on the site for a trash container nor do they indicate site lighting for the property. Any trash facilities will be 5-25-95 Page 3 required to be appropriately screened from view and building or parking lot lighting will • have to be consistent with the City Ordinances. RECOMMENDATION The plans, with some minor modifications to reflect required alterations, appear to be in order. Approval is recommended subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The final building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits. 2. Grading, drainage, and utility plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of permits. 3. A performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee shall be submitted to assure the completion of all site improvements. 4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and roof top mechanical equipment shall be appropriately screened from view. 5. The building is to be equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system to meet NFPA standards and shall be connected to a central monitoring device in accordance with Chapter 5 of the City Ordinances. . 6. An underground irrigation system shall be installed in all landscaped areas to facilitate site maintenance. 7. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances.. 8. B-612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and driving areas. The plans shall be modified to indicate B-612 curb and gutter around the entrance to this site and to the neighboring site which forms a shared or common access between the two properties. 9. The applicant shall submit an as-built survey of the property, improvements and utility service lines, prior to release of the performance guarantee. 10. The property owner shall enter into an easement and agreement for maintenance and inspection of utility and storm drainage systems, prior to the issuance of permits. 11. The applicant shall sign the truck access drive located off 48th Avenue North to prohibit parking of any vehicles in the driveway in front of the building. 5-25-95 Page 4 12. The applicant shall provide appropriate erosion and sediment control devices on the site during construction as approved by the Engineering Department. 13. The property owner shall enter into a restrictive covenant to be filed with a title to the property requiring that on site storm sewer be installed and connected to city storm sewer in 48th Avenue North and 47th Avenue North within one year of when it becomes available. 14. All work performed and materials used for construction of utilities shall conform to the City of Brooklyn Center's current standard specifications and details. i • 5-25-95 Page 5 I II r GAS I I I • 't 1 } I I I � TI I sacW.,,K I Ii AI�I 1j • I � I.:I • � a T I ,rSl i oew�uu� COW-WALL Ij j •ca COM WALL 1 1 I I I eels CI.B COWL.SWALE A 00 i I I l -P �'• _ p R. 2 1 t 11 co I a I 1 I 'vl _ 'gl � • ! eelz cure > �fi f v 'J j I � Io1 w�F�E rnEES �• I Wyz I� T 1 L 0 I AND gg 1 1 r ' ► '_ * 262.76 � _ ° ' D 1 1 v.
