Site Information:
Applicant: John Mesenbrink, Mesenbrink Construction
Property Address: 1465 Maras Street
Property Owner: Maras Street LLC
Lot Area: 22.86 Acres (two parcels, 5.38 acres & 17.48 acres)
Zoning: I-1, Light Industry
2040 Comp. Plan: Mixed Use Employment Center
John Mesenbrink, representing Maras Street LLC / Eugene Hansen (property owner), has applied for the preliminary and final plat of Maras Street First Addition. The proposed plat combines the two existing lots and dedicates new drainage and utility easements for the proposed improvements to the site. As part of this proposed development the applicant is proposing to vacate certain easements on the site.
The applicant is proposing to construct a 12,000 square-foot building on the site south of the existing building and construct an exterior storage area east of the building. The proposed building design and exterior materials match the building the applicant constructed at 1565 Stagecoach Road in 2022. City sewer and water has recently been added to this area and both the existing and proposed building will be served by city services.
The applicant is proposing access to the new building via the existing driveway access to Maras Street. Staff supports the combination of the two lots into one lot, as the eastern (larger lot) does not currently have access to a public street.
