Mr. Trzebiatowski explained the petitioner is proposing a land division and a new 7,708 square foot dental office on Janesville Road near the Moorland Corridor east of the Walgreens. The zoning for the parcel is B-2 and the building meets all the zoning requirements. The building is designed as a two- story exposure on the south side and one-story along Janesville Road. Cross access is shown throughout the property. Parking is proposed as 26 parking stalls with 13 on the north side (1 handicap) and 13 on the south side (2 handicap). The parking stalls all meet the 10’ x 20’ design requirement. The parking lot allows for future expansion to the south. The building design is governed by the General Design Guide and Moorland Corridor South Design Guide and is proposed to have four sided architecture and masonry materials throughout. The materials include decorative stone veneer, aluminum clad wood windows, stone stills/lintel/column base caps, 4” brick face, dimensional asphalt shingles, and E.I.F.S. Lighting is proposed as one pole light on the south half with wall and bollard lighting also. The pole light will be high-pressure sodium and will match the fixtures at Walgreens. The concrete base of the light pole cannot exceed 6 inches in height. No signage is proposed and will require approval from staff by the time of building permits. A landscape plan has been submitted and is being reviewed by the City Forester. There is a concern along the south side that more landscaping be required to screen headlights from the nearby property owners. Mr. Trzebiatowski added that there were only minor engineering corrections that need to be made to the CSM. Staff recommends approval of the CSM and BSO. Mayor Johnson questioned if there will be landscaping in the area to the south noted for future expansion. Mark Hertzfeldt, Design 2 Construct Development Corp, stated there will be landscaping with grass. The expansion will cause minimal disturbance to the landscaping. Commissioner Noah stated overall he is pleased with the materials; however, he would like to see more stone veneer added to the eastern side of the north elevation. Commissioner Hulbert agreed and stated the stone has a warmer friendlier look. Mr. Hertzfeldt stated they could look into swapping some of the brick with the stone. Robert Knasinski, S70 W15770 Sandalwood Drive, registered to speak under public comment. Mr. Knasinski explained the south side needs better landscaping. Mr. Knasinski suggested 6-foot blue spruces similar to the landscaping at Jetz. Mr. Knasinski explained lights from vehicles shin into their house as early as 5:00 PM in the winter. Mayor Johnson questioned if a small berm could be installed. Mr. Hertzfeldt explained future expansion could affect the berm, but he would look into it and also will add more landscaping. Ald. Fiedler questioned where deliveries will be made. Dr. Thompson stated they will be made during business hours on the west side of the building and the front. Commissioner Noah made a motion to AMEND Resolution #055-2009 to add additional stone elements to the eastern portion of the north elevation subject to staff approval. Ald. Fiedler seconded. Upon a roll call vote Resolution #055-2009 was AMENDED unanimously. Upon a roll call vote, AMENDED Resolution #055-2009 was ADOPTED unanimously. RESOLUTION #P.C. 058-2009 - Approval of a metal accessory structure for Brent Foye located in the SE ¼ of Section 2 (Tax Key No. 2168.971 / W147 S6960 Durham Place). Commissioner Burke made a motion to ADOPT Resolution #P.C. 058-2009. Commissioner PAGE 2 Plan Commission Minutes, continued September 1, 2009 Hulbert seconded. Mr. Trzebiatowski explained the petitioner is requesting to install an 18’ x 20’ carport. The General Design Guide states the following:  Any structure, in excess of 6-feet in height, may be permitted closer than the required offset from an adjoining lot line with the written consent of the adjoining property owner and approval of Plan Commission  Architectural requirements that exist for residential accessory structure also pertain to screening devices. Screening devices are subject to Plan Commission approval if the architectural elements do not meet the requirements described herein. There currently is a residence and an existing shed about 12’ x 14’ in size. The carport is proposed to be 90 feet away from the front lot line and 5.5 feet from the northern side lot line, rather than the required 10 feet. Plan Commission can waive this requirement. The neighbor has signed off that they approve of the waiver being granted. Plan Commission approval is also needed to allow the metal materials of the carport. The proposed structure will be constructed with metal support poles, a white metal roof, and open sides. As proposed the roof will match the neighboring garage siding. Staff is recommending approval with the colors of carport matching the color of the roof of the existing home on this property. Ald. Fiedler questioned if the roof of the carport will match the roof of the existing shed. Mr. Foye stated it will not match. Ald. Fiedler stated because the carport will be going right next to the shed it would be a better to match the roof of the carport to the roof of the shed. Commissioner Hulbert stated he does not have a problem with this proposal. He is, however, concerned that in the future it would become enclosed. Mr. Trzebiatowski explained permits and possible Board of Appeals approval would be needed to enclose this structure. Commissioner Hulbert also expressed concern with the color of the roof. Mayor Johnson explained he is concerned with carports distracting from the neighborhood, but in this case the carport is screened. Mayor Johnson suggested looking into creating a code for carport size and location. Mr. Foye stated he would replace the roof of the shed in November and the roof of the carport, when installed, will match. Ald. Fiedler made a motion to AMEND Resolution #P.C. 058-2009 to require the roof of the carport to match the roof of the shed. Commissioner Hulbert seconded. Upon a roll call vote, Resolution #P.C. 058-2009 was AMENDED unanimously. Upon a roll call vote, AMENDED Resolution #P.C. 058-2009 is ADOPTED unanimously. Commissioners directed that a note be placed in the building file that at the time the roof of the house is replaced it must match the roof of the shed and carport. NEW BUSINESS PLACED ON FILE DOCKET #P.C. 004-2009 – Approval of a Four Lot Certified Survey Map for the Thomas Wernette property located in the NE 1/4 of Section 12 and the SE 1/4 of Section 1 (Tax Key No. 2205.041 / W128 S7110 Flintlock Trail).
