RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, R & P Properties applied for an Incentive Development Preliminary Plan
(#04-20) to permit the construction of additional mini-storage buildings on its property that would
exceed the permitted floor area ratio in the zoning district. The property is located along the
south side of 35th Street S.E., and east of Highway 63 in Wood Lake Park; and,
WHEREAS, R.C.O. § 62.630 sets forth the criteria for incentive developments; and,
WHEREAS, based upon Section 62.630, the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended the following findings of fact:
Preliminary Development Plan Criteria:
a) Suitability of the Area: The proposed use is compatible with the existing
land uses in the area. Mini-storage buildings exist to the south and west:
b) Site Design Criteria:
1) Capacity of Public Facilities: The existing 6" water service, which
• will not be used, will be required to be abandoned properly by
plugging the tee at the main in the street and removing the top
section of the valve box, which is located within the boulevard.
2) Geologic Hazards: The property is located within zone AE on the
Flood insurance Rate Map. This means that the property is
considered to be in the flood fringe district. Construction standards
must be consistent with the construction standards for the flood
fringe district. The flood protection elevation is 1040.0. The
finished floor elevation will be 1040.48, which is above the flood
protection elevation.
3) Natural Features: The property is flat.
4) Traffic Generation Impact: The anticipated traffic generated by the
addition will not cause the capacity of adjacent street to be
exceeded.
5) Height Impacts: The proposed height of the buildings is
consistent with the height of the buildings on the adjacent
properties.
• 6) Setbacks: The placement of the buildings and parking area
meets the standards for uses in the M-1 zoning district.
7) Internal Site Design: The site layout provides adequate
buildings separation and allows for the continued use of the shared
access with the property to the west.
8) Screening and Buffering: The project consists of providing trees
and shrubs along 35th Street SE, which will help screen the parking
lot.
9) Ordinance Requirements: The proposed project is providing a 13.6
% Landscape area, exceeding the allowed Landscape Area by
approximately 5.6%; and,
WHEREAS, the Commission, following its public hearing, recommended approval subject
to the following conditions:
1. The existing 6" water service, which will not be used, shall be abandoned
properly by plugging the tee at the main in the street and removing the top
section of the valve box, which is located within the boulevard.
WHEREAS, the Common Council held a public hearing on the Incentive Development
Preliminary Plan #04-20 Permit request on June 21, 2004, and gave all interested persons the
leopportunity to make presentations and give testimony concerning the application; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of
Rochester that it adopt the Planning and Zoning Commission's findings of fact and that the
Incentive Development Conditional Use Permit requested by R & P Properties is granted subject
to the above one condition.
