Site Information: 

Applicant: John Mesenbrink, Mesenbrink Construction

Address:1513 Stagecoach Road, 8600 Hansen Avenue

Lot Area:17.42 acres

Property Owner: Hansen Avenue LLC

Zoning: I-1, Light Industry

2040 Comp. Plan: Mixed Employment Center

John Mesenbrink has applied for the preliminary and final plat of Reliakor First Addition. The proposed plat adjusts the boundary lines of two existing lots and dedicates the right-of-way for Hansen Avenue from Stagecoach Road to the eastern boundary of the plat. Hansen Avenue is currently in a roadway easement across the northern parcel. The proposed plat dedicates perimeter drainage and utility easements and creates one parcel wholly on the north side of Hansen Avenue and one parcel on the south side (see attached plat drawings). 

Currently, a construction project is underway to extend sewer and water service to this area. The proposed plat will dedicate perimeter drainage and utility easements on the lots consistent with City Code and Engineering Department requirements for platted lots.

Site Discussion: 

The applicant is proposing to improve an existing driveway to Stagecoach Road that is currently used by Centurylink for existing facilities on the south side of the lot. Access to the southern lot and new building will be from both Stagecoach Road and utilize the existing accesses on Hansen Avenue. Access to the northern lot from Hansen Avenue will be from the existing driveways.  

The applicant intends to construct a roughly 12,000 square-foot multi-tenant building on the southern portion of the south parcel.  Future building tenants are unknown, but are expected to be small contractors and storage users. The I-1, Light Industry zone requires buildings to be setback at least 100' from residential zones. 

The applicant has applied for a 20' setback variance request to allow for the proposed building to be have an 80' setback from the rear lot line. The request will be reviewed the Board of Adjustment and Appeals on October 6th. If the variance is approved and the building is shifted south, the applicant intends to place the overhead doors of the building on the east side of the building, rather than have the overhead doors facing south toward the residential area. At the September 8th Planning Commission meeting the adjacent residents and Planning Commission expressed concerns about the doors facing south. The applicant submitted the application in response to the resident's and Planning Commission's concerns. 

A conditional use permit for exterior storage is required for any future exterior storage on the proposed paved areas. Additional landscaping is required along the south side of the lot to meet screening requirements for industrial developments that are adjacent to residential developments. 
The applicant has agreed to construct a berm and place additional trees on the south side of the lot, which is added as a condition in the plat resolution.
