Consider a request from Axys Construction for an amendment to the Parkside Commercial Planned Unit Development/Conditional Use Permit to allow alternative exterior building materials for the construction of a 7000 square foot office building. Brixius presented the 7000 square foot building for Summit Chiropractic that is being proposed to be built on the northwest quadrant of County Road 19 and 57th Street. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Regular Meeting on September 12, 2023 2 In 2005, the City approved a conditional use permit / planned unit development for a Parkside commercial development that included three separate office buildings and CIC subdivision. This proposed building will be the second building constructed and will be built on the eastern side of the Parkside commercial lot. Brixius went through the exhibits and the analysis of the August 25, 2023 Planners Report. In conclusion, Brixius stated that the proposed development fits the original approved Parkside Commercial site plan. The change in exterior design requires a PUD amendment to allow the change in exterior building materials. Based on our review we recommend approval of the PUD amendment with the following conditions: 1. City approval of alternative exterior building materials as shown on Exhibit F. 2. The building elevations shall be altered to continue the manufactured stone base to all sides of the building. 3. The sign plan is approved with the following conditions: a. The individual tenant wall signs shall not exceed 48 square feet and shall be located over the tenant’s front entrance. b. No wall sign shall be placed on the west building wall. c. The wall sign on the east building wall is approved to reserve the monument sign faces for the west Parkside Commercial office buildings. d. All sign lighting shall be on a timer that will turn off the lights at 11:00PM. e. Each sign shall require individual permits. Buhrmann asked if all these properties are the same owner, Brixius responded that this is a different owner. Brixius shared the letter we received from the owner of the one other existing building, Keith Wilts with Red Barn Properties, LLC. The letter stated that these proposed plans have not been approved by the Parkside Commercial Center CIC, and the proposed owner of the new commercial office building has not entered into a new Common Area Expense Allocation Agreement. Brixius informed that we will still take action on this zoning item as normal, and that the proposed building owner will need address those concerns directly with the CIC. Brixius informed Commissioners that city staff will respond to the letter by Mr. Wilts. Motioned by Anderson, seconded by Huggins to open the Public Hearing. Ayes: Buhrmann, Anderson, Huggins and Smith. Nays: None. Absent: Pinski. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. Rylan Rosenlund, Project Manager for Axys Construction introduced himself to the Commissioners. He informed that Summit will own the building and occupy ½ the building, and then other tenants will occupy the other ½ of the building. Rosenlund addressed the letter received by Red Barn Properties LLC, he stated that they tried talking with Mr. Wilts regarding approvals and he did not respond. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Regular Meeting on September 12, 2023 3 Rosenlund said that they spoke with their attorney and were advised that they did not need approvals at this time. Rosenlund said that they will continue to work with the CIC for all proper approvals needed. Rosenlund is asking to remove the stone on the south side (rear) of the building against Casey’s for budget purposes. Commissioners discussed the request for no stone on the south side. After discussing they agreed on putting stone on the southeast side of the building to the first door. Motioned by Huggins, seconded by Anderson to close the Public Hearing. Ayes: Buhrmann, Anderson, Huggins and Smith. Nays: None. Absent: Pinski. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. Motioned by Smith, seconded by Anderson to approve the amendment to the Parkside Commercial Planned Unit Development/Conditional Use Permit to allow alternative exterior building materials for the construction of a 7000 square foot office building with the conditions listed in the August 25, 2023 Planners Report, along with placing stone on the southeast side of the building up to the first door on the right.
