PLANNING REPORT
TO:
Albertville Planning Commission
FROM:
Cindy Sherman
DATE:
January 4, 2001
RE:
Albertville - Mooney Addition Mobil Site Plan Amendment
FILE NO:
163.06 - 00.19
REQUEST
Mooney Development Corporation has submitted an amended site plan for
modifications to the exterior of their approved Mobil gas station store.
According to the applicants, when bidding the project for construction, some of the
design elements became cost prohibitive so they are requesting a change in the
entrance design and a change in the materials to be used.
The modifications proposed only include changes in building design and materials,
there are no site layout changes proposed.
Attachments:
. Approved elevations
. Proposed elevations
PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS
The applicant is requesting to use stucco as the primary material on all sides of the
building. Brick accenting would be used at the base of the building for a distance of
approximately 2 feet, 4 inches. The entry on the front elevation of the building is
proposed to be modified to incorporate the entry into the main portion of the structure
rather than have it built as an all glass atrium.
~
Our office believes that this is one of the most visible locations in Albertville since it is
located at the intersection of two county roads and adjacent to 1-94. Additionally, the
development of the site will help to set the tone for what else is proposed in the
immediate area in the future.
The uses proposed are subject to a Conditional Use Permit that was approved based,
at least partially, on the design and materials originally proposed and as amended.
Additionally, the comprehensive plan calls for "high quality commercial development"
within the freeway corridor and a stated goal to eliminate "franchise" architecture.
Staff believes that the modification to the entrance is negligible. However, staff does
not support the change from predominantly rockface block and scored glazed block
structure to stucco because it is perceived that it will affect the overall appearance at a
highly visible and important intersection.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the entrance modifications proposed be approved, but that all
exterior materials to be used on the facility remain as originally approved by the City.
