Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet.
LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING:
The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving rezonings, PUD's, and amendments to
PUD's because the City is acting in its legislative or policy making capacity. A rezoning or PUD,
and amendment thereto, must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
The City's discretion in approving or denying a site plan is limited to whether or not the proposed
project complies with Zoning Ordinance requirements. If it meets those standards, the City must
then approve the site plan. This is a quasi-judicial decision.

PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the PUD standards to permit an auto service center
within Arboretum Business Park. Auto service centers are uses engaged primarily in the supplying
of goods and services generally required in the operation and maintenance of motor vehicles. This
does not include auto body repair. The permitted uses for the "Wrase" property identified in the
PUD are office industrial and utility services. An auto service center would be a viable use of the
property since few auto services are provided in the area; and there is significant potential demand
for these services by the workers within the industrial development surrounding the site. The
proposed use would be a convenient service for the workers in the area as well as the existing and
future residents living in the western part of the city. Additionally, due to topography, access and
site dimension, there is limited ability to utilize this site for other more intensive uses.
This property is isolated from most of the Arboretum Business Center. It shares an access to
Highway 41 with a right-in right-out entrance with the Citgo store to the south. It was originally
acquired by the city for a water tower site. The tower was relocated and this is now a remnant
piece. It also has a cross access easement over a portion of the Citgo property located to the south
that provides the only full vehicular access for the use. Since it is so closely linked to the Citgo
development, its use as an auto service center is appropriate. Staff supportsthe amendment to the
PUD standards to permit an auto service center within Arboretum Business Park on this parcel
only. There are three other commercial properties_vacant with the Arboretum Business Park for
which this use would not be appropriate. The developer is still finalizing the amount of prOperty -
that is being purchasedfor the project. At a minimum, they will acquire all the land being graded
for the project.
The Citgo convenience store with gas pumps is located immediately to the south of this site. The
Citgo building has a finished floor elevation of 996.6. The proposed finished floor elevation for
this site is 1005.5. The building is approximately 10 feet lower than the finished floor elevation
(1015) for a 59,990 sq. ft. office warehouse building (Steiner Building lid and the 55,911 square
foot office/showroom building (All About Lights) located north of the property. The top of the
foundation for the water tower, which is located to the east of this site, is at elevation 1017. To the
west across Highway 41, the Landscape Arboretum "Spring Peeper Meadow" is located.
The building consists of a one story, 7,800 square foot auto service facility. The westerly 1,800
square feet is the showroom/office area of the building. There are 10 service stalls located on the
easterly 6,000 square feet of the building. Overhead access doors are located on the north and south
side of the structure. The front of the building is oriented toward Highway 41. The entrance is
located in the northwest comer of the building. Building materials consist of rock face block and
brick. The lower 15 feet of the retail portion of the building contains a dark colored (Walnut) rock
face block and display windows. Within this area are bands of tan colored rock face block as well
as the window head area. The top portion of the building is constructed of tan brick consistent in
color to the Citgo store to the south. The balance of the building consists of the lower portion in
dark rock face block with the upper portion tan rock face block. The western portion of the
Arboretum Service Center

building is covered with an asphalt shingled, mansard roof that will screen the mechanical
equipment.
(The site plan appears to comply with the proposed design criteria being developed and reviewed by
the city. Building components appear to have good proportions. There is sufficient architectural
detail on all elevations visible off site. The entrance is located close to the primary street, Highway
41. The site is not conducive to pedestrian access. The west elevation has over 50 percent
transparent windows.)
Staff is recommending approval of the site plan for Arboretum Auto Service Center subject to the
conditions of the staff report.
BACKGROUND
This property was included as part of the rezoning for the Arboretum Business Park
development. However, it was not included as part of the subdivision for the Arboretum
Business Park. The city purchased this lot for the purposes of building a water tower. The water
tower was relocated and this is now a remnant piece.
On March 8, 1999, the City Council approved PUD #92-6 granting final plat approval for
Arboretum Business Park 3rd Addition creating two lots and right-of-way for TH 41. The 3rd
Addition included the southerly 100 feet of the original '-'Wrase" property.
On July 28, 1997, the City Council approved the following: the ordinance for PUD #92-6
rezoning approximately 154 acres from Agricultural Estate, A2, to Planned Unit Development,
PUD, and the PUD g92-6 granting final plat approval for Arboretum Business Park.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Section 20-106 through 20-122, Site Plan Review
Arboretum Business Park Development Standards
GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE
This property is zoned PUD light industrial/office park. The use of the PUD zone is to allow for
more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more sensitive proposal. The
development must comply with the Development Design Standards for Arboretum Business
Park. The PUD requires that the development demonstrate a higher quality of architectural
standards and site design.
The front of the building is oriented toward Highway 41. The entrance is located in the northwest
comer of the building. Building materials consist of rock face block and brick. The lower 15 feet
of the retail portion of the building contains a dark colored (Walnut) rock face block and display
windows. Within this area are bands of tan colored rock face block as well as the window head

area. The top portion of the building is constructed of tan brick consistent in color to the Citgo
store to the south. The balance of the building consists of the lower portion in dark rock face block
with the upper portion tan rock face block. The western portion of the building is covered with an
asphalt shingled, mansard roof that will screen the mechanical equipment.
A retaining wall is proposed on the north side of the property. Above the retaining wall, the
existing mature trees will be preserved. Immediately adjacent to the parking lot, the retaining wall
well be 12 to 14 feet tall. This will hide the majority of the parking area from views from the north.

The applicant does not meet minimum requirements for the parking lot trees or the south
property line buffer yard. Staff recommends that the applicant plant 5 deciduous overstory trees
adjacent to the parking area and a minimum of 25 shrubs along the south property. Since the
grade drops at the south property line, a hedge would provide a more effective buffer than
overstory or ornamental trees.
Ail trees to be saved on site are required to have tree protection installed around them prior to
grading. The developer shall investigate using some of the smaller trees in the northern portion
of the site, between the large conifers and the trees along the north property line, that are
currently proposed to be removed. A tree spade can accommodate some of these trees. These
trees may be used to meet some of the site planting requirements.
WETLANDS
It appears that no wetland exists on site.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (SWMP)
The applicant shall provide stormwater calculations to demonstrate that off-site ponding will be
adequate to meet all applicable City water quality and water quantity requirements.
Because this lot did not undergo the subdivision process, no surface water management fees will be
collected.

GRADINGfDRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL
The current plans show a building with a proposed floor elevation of 1005.5. To obtain this floor
elevation, the building and parking lot area will have to be graded down from a high elevation of
1018. Due to the large change in elevation, a combination of retaining walls and steep slopes are
proposed for the site. Along the eastern property line, the applicant is proposing a temporary
easement to grade offsite and slope up to the existing 1018 elevation. An additional easement
will also be required for the off-site grading to the southeast of the property. Some of the
proposed slope grades along the south and east property lines are in excess of 3:1. These areas
must be revised to meet the maximum slope grade requirement of 3:1 or a retaining wall will
have to be installed.
Under existing conditions, the majority of the site drains from east to west. Under proposed
conditions, the building and parking areas will also drain from east to west. Two proposed catch
basins in the northwest and southwest comers of the parking lot will collect the storm water and
route it to an existing storm sewer stub located southwest of the parking lot.
The applicant has not shown the placement of silt fence on the grading plan. The grading plan shall
be revised to show the placement of silt fence. Proposed erosion control consists of a rock
construction entrance at the access drive to the site. Staff recommends that silt fence be added at
the bottom of the slope off of the southwest comer of the parking lot. Tree protection fencing.
must also be added around the trees that are to be saved.
All areas disturbed as a result of construction activities shall be immediately restored with seed and
disc-mulched or wood-fiber blanket or sod within two weeks of completion of each activity in
accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook.
UTILITIES
There are no existing sewer and water service stubs to the site. The plans for the new building
propose on extending a sanitary service line from the existing sewer manhole located off the
southeast comer of the lot. Water is proposed to be extended across the property to the east.
This will require a private utility easement for the installation of the service across another lot.
The watermain connection will require open-cutting of the City's water tower access road. The
applicant should be aware that the access road will have to be restored with the heavy-duty road
section shown on the grading plan. Installation of the private utilities for the site will require
permits and inspections through the City's Building Department..
The property has not been previously assessed for utilities. As such, the property is subject to
City sewer and water hook-up and connection charges. The 2001 connection charges for both
sanitary sewer and water are $4,144 a piece. The 2001 trunk utility hook-up charges are $1,322
per unit for sanitary sewer and $1,723 per unit for water. The 2001 SAC charge is $1225 per
unit. These charges are collected prior to the building permit being issued.

STREETS AND PARKING LOT
The plans propose on utilizing the existing right-in/right-out access off of Trunk Highway (TH)
41 from the west. Access to the site can also be gained from the Citgo property to the south.
There is an existing cross-access easement over the Citgo property in favor of the subject
property; however, an additional cross-access easement is required over the shared portion of the
TH 41 driveway access, which serves both the subject property and the Citgo property.
The length of the parking stalls along the south side of the building is less than the required
length of 18-feet. Also, there is no turnaround area shown at the east end of the parking lot, as is
required by City Code. As such, the plans will need to be revised to comply with each of these
requirements.
LIGHTING/SIGNAGE
The developer is proposing four 20 foot tall light standards. Lighting for the interior of the
business center should be consistent t _hroughout the development. A decorative, shoe box fixture
20 foot tall 400 watt metal Halide lot light With a square ornamental pole shall be used for area
lighting. All light fixtures shall be shielded with a 90 degree light cut-off. 'Any wall mounted
lighting shall be shielded from direct off-site view. Light level for site lighting shall be no more
than V2 candle at the property line.
All freestanding signs shall be limited 'to one monument sign per street frontage. The sign shall not
exceed eighty (80) square feet in sign display area nor be greater than eight (8) feet in height. (Note
the plans show a 10 foot high monument sign which is not permitted nor approved.) The sign
treatment is an element of the architecture and thus should reflect the quality of the development.
The signs should be consistent in color, size, and material throughout the development. The
developer has shown a monument sign at the entrance to the site.
Wall signage shall be pelTnitted per city ordinance for industrial office park site. The applicant has
shown wall signage on the west elevation. All signs shall require a separate sign permit.
SITE PLAN FINDINGS
In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance
with the following:.
(1)
Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides,
including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may
be adopted;
(2) Consistency with this division;

Planning Case: 2001-8. Site Plan (92-6PUD)
I have reviewed the above project. Comments are based on the information supplied at this
time. Changes or corrections may occur during the course of the project, which may
circumvent the approved plans. The following are my comments for the projeCt:
1. 'A post indicator valve (PIV) wild need to be added to the water line going into the
building. This is to shut down fire protection in the event of an emergency in the
building.
2. Add a hydrant on either side of the main entrance onto the property. One hydrant is
not sufficient for this project. .~
