MEMORANDUM
DATE:
August 16, 2006
TO:
The Honorable City Council
FROM:
David G. Gould, Planning Officer
SUBJECT:
Amending Zoning Ordinance
400 Stillwater Avenue
Council Ordinance 06-293
Please be advised that the Planning Board at Its regularly scheduled
meeting on August 15, 2006, held a public hearing on the above contract zone
change request.
Mr. Vinal Applebee, PE of Ames AIE representative of the applicant Global
Rand, indicated they were seeking to use the property at 400 Stillwater Avenue
for a self stooge facility "mini warehouse' as provided for in the S&PS District
The property has an existing contract zone as do the two adjacent properties to
the north. The proposed contact zoning agreement would change a small
portion of the site from Low Density Residential District to Contract Shopping &
Personal Service District such that it could be used as a 30 -foot buffer. Mr.
Applebee noted that the trip generation of a self storage facility would be less
than and likely have a different peak hour than a medical office.
The Board asked Mr. Applebee about the appeaonce of the proposed
structures and whether it would resemble typical self storage buildings. Mr.
Randy Rand Indicated the facility contemplated would be more like the LI -haul
facility downtown where by stooge space is accessed from internal doors rather
than exterior garage bays. It was noted that in the S&PS District the mini
warehouse use is a conditional use and must meet the Standards of 165-9
including architectural consistency.
Mr. Mortis L. Fer Indicated that he awns the adjacent property which was
presently leased to Little Angles Day Care. Mr. Fer noted he did not oppose the
proposed change but would like to work with the applicant on the layout of the
proposed shared access. Back in 1993, when the concept was agreed upon, the
properties were being used as a real estate office and a planned medical office.
Mr. Brian Duprey owner of Little Angles Day Care indicated that there
could be issues as to entering and exiting if the facility had similar peak hours as
theirs does. He agreed with Mr. far that the redesign of the driveway may better
facilitate those movements.
After careful consideration of the existing uses in the area and the existing
contracts on the adjacent properties, the Board voted 4 to 1 to recommend the
proposed contract revision.
The dissenting opinion was that the use of this site as a mini warehouse
and shared driveway would only add to traffic congestion on Stillwater Avenue
and complicate the access and egress of the existing day care facility.
