ACTION Dates of Council Consideration: Approved Denied this f7L day of _ 19with the following amendment: Clerk P/I Form No. 18 (over please; Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 82018 Applicant: Blumentals Architecture on behalf of Summit Mortgage Corporation Location: 6159 Earle Brown Drive Request: Site and Building Plan The applicant requests site and building plan approval to remodel and refurbish the horsebarn and hippodrome on the Earle Brown Farm for use as a television studio and transmitting facility. The property in question is zoned I-1 and is also designated a historic preservation area by approval of Application No. 81041. It is bounded on the east by Earle Brown Drive, on the south by the former Summit Bank building, and on the west and north by the other Earle Brown Farm buildings (the main residence and other accessory buildings and barns). The studio and transmitting facilities are considered, per Planning Commission review at its March 25, 1982 meeting, a permitted use similar in nature to other uses expressly permitted in the I-1 district. The site plan calls for 64 parking spaces. The applicant comprehends 25 stalls for 5.091 sq. ft. of office space in the barn (at 1 space per 200 sq. ft); 33 spaces for a 100 seat studio (at 1 space per 3 seats; and 5 spaces for 10 additional staff people. at 1 space per 2 employees), for a total parking requirement of 63 stalls, one less than provided on the plan. Staff do not accept the parking requirements as suggested by the applicant. The parking formula for industrial or warehouse space is one space/800 sq. ft. or one space per two employees, whichever is greater. The floor space in the hippodrome, excluding Studio A (which has a 100 seat capacity) is roughly 8,900 sq. ft. Only 4,300 sq. ft. of this space should be treated under the industrial formula (5 spaces). The other 4,600 sq. ft. are more properly considered office/service use. This would add 23 parking spaces to the 63 already comprehended by the applicant. Finally, the cook shed will be used for storage and represents 1 stall. The applicant has agreed to provide a proof -of -parking plan showing that the additional stalls can be placed in the mall area between the main house and the barn and hippodrome. Landscaping proposed for the site is very similar to the landscape plan approved under Application No. 81051, except that five Radiant Crabs are indicated in the greenstrip along Earle Brown Drive rather than five Marshall Seedless Ash. Ash trees are proposed along the central drive in the mall area w�st of the barn and hippodrome. Underground irrigation is noted in all landscape areas. The northerly entrance to the site from Earle Brown Drive would bp closed off by a wood gate during non -business hours. A wood fence would extehd along the east property line and along the north side of the south entrance to the property. The main parking lot to the east of the hippodrome will drain to a catch basin 55' due east of the southeast corner of the horsebarn, in the northwest corner of the main parking lot. The catch basin will be connected by a 12"private storm sewer line to City storm sewer in Earle Brown Drive. The smaller parking area opposite the barn must drain to the north (see memo from Jim Grube). The parking lot is bounded by B612 curb and gutter. The southerly drive, as it passes the hippodrome to the bank, will not be curbed. The building elevations will be changed only by replacing existi-ng lattice windows with fixed single pane window frames. The building is to be equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system to meet NFPA Standards and will also be retro- fitted to meet state energy codes. Two 9 meter diameter receiving antennas will be placed within the front setback area, but outside the greenstrip. (See Application No. 82021. 4-15-82 -1- Application No. 82018 continued Altogether, the plan appears to be in order, with the exception of certain drainage revisions, and approval is recommended subject to at least the following conditions: 1. 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, utility and berming plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of permits. 3. A site performance and supporting financial guarantee (in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be submitted prior to the issuance of permits to assure completion of approved site improvements. 4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical equip- ment 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. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and driving areas. 9. The preliminary R.L.S. approved under Application No. 81035 shall receive final approval by the City Council and be filed with the County prior to the issuance of building permits for'the conversion of the barn and hippodrome. 10. Improvements to the Summit Bank property approved under Application No. 78002, but deferred until plans were accepted fo the barn and hippodrome shall be completed prior to October 1, 196 in conjunction with the improvements required by approval of this application. 4-15-82 -2- T- 4, all f�)aowp--1 eA��Z-1'6 A -op e �mo t5lru �4 N 0"�6 G 00 16. 14 f 0 AIP Tl( VP A 0 • 2 LANDSCAPE PLAN m tv- q T"- L s ax;:g. n- 12.1 OFFICE TOWER 2 — EAST ELEVATION N OFFICH 0',"'ER 2
