Plan Commission Supplement PC 052-2015
For the meeting of: October 6, 2015
REQUEST: Building, Site, and Operation Plan Amendments for 4Front Engineered Solutions
Tax Key No. 2222.984.006 / W183 S8253 Racine Ave
NW ¼ of Section 16
PETITIONER: Wayne Straus of 4Front Engineered Solutions
INTRODUCED: October 6, 2015
LAST AGENDA: N/A
PREPARED BY: Jeff Muenkel, CEcD AICP
BACKGROUND PC 052-2015
On September 21, 2015 a submittal was received from 4Front Engineered Solutions to alter portions of
their parking lot and add on to their main structure to meet the needs of their growing business. The
proposed alteration will help the business handle their current work flow more efficiently and help further
business growth.
CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED PLANS 052-2015
Comprehensive Plan: The 2020 Plan depicts the property for industrial uses. The petition is
consistent with the Plan.
Zoning: The property is zoned M-2, General Industrial. The use is permitted subject
to BSO approval.
STAFF DISCUSSION PC 052-2015
4Front is proposing to alter portions of their parking lots and add on 15,000 SF to their main structure in
order to meet the needs of their growing business. Here are the proposed site changes:
Add on a new 10,770 square foot parking lot to the f ront of their building along Racine Avenue.
Parking lot to meet city codes of a 24-foot wide drive aisle and have parking stalls meet the
10’x20’ requirements (NOTE: Plan Commission may note that this work is already being started.
The petitioner received a land disturbance permit to start this work at their own risk).
Removal of 4,700 square feet of asphalt along their northern parking lot area. This will be
returned to greenspace and is required in order for the proposed development to avoid
stormwater management at this time (NOTE: If over a half acre of impervious surface is added to
a development said development would require stormwater management. The proposed
development does not trigger stormwater management at this time but future development wil l
most likely necessitate stormwater management).
Add on a 15,000 square foot addition to the north half of the existing structure. Said addition is
proposed to be CMU split face block along the bottom and pre-finished insulated metal panel
along the top portion of the facades.
The proposed materials will match the colors of the existing structure. Although the proposed CMU is
different from the existing structure’s brick base it should match very well. Further, the whole portion
where the new addition is to be built is full of large pine trees that will remain.
No new lighting or signage details have been submitted at this time. Permits/approvals are required for
all lighting and signage. A few other conditions of approval are as follows:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a landscape plan approval for the new parking lot is required before
the issuance of the addition building permits.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That no outdoor storage or display will be allowed on site once the new
structure is in use, unless specific Plan Commission approvals are granted in the future for any storage.
Overall, the updates to the building and the site will enhance the overall look of the area and will be a nice
improvement. The resolution is written for approval as proposed.
NOTE: The plans show that 4Front intends on a future phase 3 large addition. The plans are included for
reference but no formal approvals by Planning Commission are sought for this Phase 3 at this time.
