a)Site Plan-Aerospace Fabrication-5147 208th Street W.
Aerospace Fabrication located at 5147 208th Street W is proposing to add a 12,960 square foot
addition onto the northern side of their existing building. Due to the size of the proposed addition
the site plan is considered a"Major"project and the Planning Commission must review and approve
the site plan per code. The site is located within the city's industrial park and is zoned I(Industrial).
The existing use,along with the addition,are considered light manufacturing and warehousing which
are permitted uses in the I (Industrial)zoning district. The proposed expansion will meet all setback
and lot coverage requirements of the I district. A parking lot addition is also being proposed on the
southern end of the site. With the addition there will be a total of 81 off-street parking stalls,code
only requires 55 spaces. The existing stormwater pond on the northern end of the site will have to
be modified as part of the proposed expansion. The applicant is currently working with the city's
engineering staff to address this issue. Commissioner Windschitl inquired about the modifications
needed for the ponding. Planning Manager Wippler stated that the pond will likely have to be
expanded to increase storage due to the added impervious surface. Commissioner Windschitl asked
if additional lighting will be added with the parking lot expansion. Jim Connelly,Appro Development,
stated that current lighting on site appears to be adequate if anything an addition head may be added
on the south side. Chair Rotty inquired in there would be any change in the hours of operation with
the expansion. Mr.Connelly stated no changes in hours of operation. Chair Rotty then asked if truck
traffic would change with the site modifications. Mr.Connelly stated that no,it will continue to
function the same as it does today.
