1. All drafting issues identified in previous submittal
have been addressed.
2. The control building is now complaint with the
masonry requirements, however, a small color board
with brick sample as well as a specification of the color
of the metal doors needs to be submitted.
3. Per Sec. 12-33-1.6(A) of the Zoning Ordinance
"All ground and wall mounted mechanical and utility
equipment including, but not limited to, air
conditioning units, generators, and transformers shall
be visually screened by a solid screening wall at a
minimum height so as to provide visual screening of
such equipment from adjacent properties and public
rights-of-way. Installation of evergreen landscaping
material, as deemed acceptable to the director of
planning, may be substituted in lieu of the screen wall,
under circumstances where the topography, zoning
and use of such property would promote the general
health, safety, and welfare of the community."
The current submission indicates a 8 foot high chain
link fence, with barbed wire on all four sides of the
facility, and 2 to 4 foot high Nellie R. Stevens on three
sides, leaving the north side with no screening. Since
the initial submittal in May of this year, staff has
recommended at a minimum a solid, brick fence along
three sides, with landscape screening on the north
side. The applicant has a~so previously committed to
brick screening as existing at the Sandy Lake facility.
Given the location of this facility, adjacent to city
facilities, and facing onto future industrial
developments, staff's recommendation for a solid
screening fence will remain.
