Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 76050
Applicant: Mikros Engineering, Inc.
Location: 3715 France Avenue North
Request: Site and Parking Plan Approval
The applicant has acquired the large industrial building at the southeast corner of
50th and France, and intends to establish a plastic molding use. Extensive
electrical and plumbing work is scheduled. Plans have been submitted indicating
the existing and proposed parking; some landscaping; lighting; and screening of
rooftop mechanical equipment.
The approximate 20,000 sq. ft. structure is deficient as to setbacks; parking; fire
extinguishing system; and landscaping.
1 . Automatic Fire Extinguishing System. This building was erected
prior to City Ordinance requirements for sprinkler systems as part of
the community fire prevention policy. The building construction requires
such a system due to materials and layout, per the State Building Code,
unless an additional exit is provided and no modifications are made to
existing openings. The applicant has proposed an additional exit rather
than the State Code sprinkling system.
This building is a prime example of a use which warrants an automatic
extinguishing system, but is technically exempt from the City Ordinance
which applies to new construction.
The situation falls within the intent of the ordinance Fire Prevention
Policy (copy attached) .
Consideration should be given to amending the ordinance so the standards
apply to existing buildings which are subject to major structural altera-
tions or major changes in use and occupancy.
It would be in order to recommend such action through this application;
and to recommend installation of an automatic fire extinguishing system
in this building as a condition of plan approval.
2. Parking. The building occupies an excessive amount of the site,
resulting in a parking deficiency of approximately 9 spaces based on the
industrial area calculation. There are 16 spaces along France Avenue
which were approved by the Council in the 1960's .
The applicant has designated the west portion of the building as potential
future parking, and this would adjust the area requirement and available
spaces to satisfy the ordinance - when it is installed.
Application No. 76050 (cont.)
This is in keeping with the ordinance intent by providing adequate
`., parking for employees, with space available for the area calculated
parking.
M
3. Site Improvements. The entire "green space" on the site is
along 50th Avenue North and needs upgrading. The plans show a few
new plantings. Rejuvenation of the turf, sodding where needed, and
installation of underground irrigation are recommended - including the
boulevard area.
Recommended also is the removal, filling, grading and sodding of the
east driveway - loading dock access. Loading activity is not con-
sistent with the residential uses across 50th Avenue, and the west
additions to this building over the years have provided additional
overhead doors facing west onto France.
There is also a protruding enclosure and overhead door on 50th Avenue
which could be closed off, short of demolition, to cease the loading
activity on 50th Avenue.
Consideration should be given to curbing the north and south ends of
the France Avenue parking since the green area and adjacent property
are not delineated
Approval would be subject to at least the following:
1. Consistent with Section 35-704, the designation of the west
interior portion of the building, as shown on approved plans,
constitutes provision for adequate area for offstreet parking
spaces required by ordinance based upon building size; and
installation of said spaces may be deferred, subject to the
following:
a. The additional interior required spaces shall be installed
when deemed necessary by the City;
b. The interior area shown on approved plans as designated
future parking shall not be altered or occupied in any
manner which would diminish the capacity and conversion
to required parking space; without express approval by
the City.
2. A performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee
(in an amount determined by the City Manager) shall be sub-
mitted to assure completion of site improvements shown on
1141.1 approved plans
Application No. 76050 (cont.)
3. The north yard area shall be rejuvenated and improved with
sod, plantings, and underground irrigation, including the
area between the street and the property line.
4. There shall be no loading or unloading of raw material or
manufactured product from 50th Avenue North entrances.
5. The easterly former loading dock access on the north side
shall be appropriately filled, graded, and sodded as part
of the yard.
6. The building shall be equipped with an automatic fire
extinguishing system meeting N . F . P .A . Standard No. 13.
7. All rooftop mechanical equipment and all outside trash
disposal facilities shall be appropriately screened.

CUSTOM INJECTION MOLDING • TOOLING • DESIGN • PRODUCTION
5249 HANSON COURT . MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55429
Mikros Engineering, Inc. is a manufacturer of custom plastic
molded products. We have been in business for thirteen
years at the above address.
Our business involves molding plastic products from all types
of plastic resins such as Nylons, propionates, Delrin, Lexan,
and vinyl. We store only enough of these resins to meet our
job requirements. Although none of these resins are highly
flammable, we do intend to keep them stored in a segregated
area.
Some of our present customers are 3M, I.B.M., American Optical,
Jordan Controls, Maico Hearing Instruments, Dahlberg Electronics,
Qualitone Inc., Western Electric and Zenith.
Our present employment for both office and factory is thirty—
five people. We run three 8—hours shifts so the average parking
requirement should not exceed fifteen people per shift.
We do expect our company to expand over the coming years but
this growth does not mean a drastic addition of employees
which would cause parking problems. Many of our machines run
automatic which means that one operator can control the
production of two or three machines at one time.
Our shipping requirements are limited mainly to UPS due to the
fact that our plastic products are small and light weight.
We do receive our raw materials in by semi truck but it
usually takes no longer than one half hour to unload. We
do not anticipate causing any road or traffic hazzards.
Attached is a list of the equipment we will be moving into
the building as well as a blueprint of the layout and the
improvements we are submitting for your approval.
