a <br />Ll <br />• <br />CITY of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THf CIzYOCOUNCIL <br />NO. �rtt (( <br />Rag pole height, which Planning Commission recommended be no more than 25' in height, <br />i.e. no higher than the highest building on the site. <br />The City Council makes the following findings: <br />A. The 25,620 s.f addition will be 20' in height, 5' higher than the main body of the <br />existing building and 5' lower than the highest portion (NW quadrant) of the <br />existing building. This meets the 40' height limit for the I District. This addition <br />expands the main building footprint to approximately 202,300 s.f., or 20.4 % of <br />this 990,000 s.f. site. With the additional 7,250 s.f. of existing accessory buildings <br />on the site, structural coverage is significantly below the 45% coverage allowed <br />for the site. The proposed addition will be concrete panels rather than the <br />concrete block construction of the remainder of the existing building. The tip -up <br />concrete panels as proposed will provide a higher quality facade than the building <br />it will be attached to, and the materials and proposed color are acceptable. The <br />building addition is not visible from Highway 12 and should not require screening <br />due to its relatively central location within the site. <br />B. The attachment will be of exterior materials similar to the pre -finished steel <br />construction of the existing easterly garage. This is an appropriate connection <br />since it would be difficult to make the connection with tip -up panels. The <br />connection will be virtually invisible from most angles, as it is merely filling a 10' <br />space between two buildings, and will be of the same coloration as those <br />buildings. The total square footage of the combined accessory buildings will be <br />7,250 s.f. <br />C. None of the proposed new parking area is close to lot lines. It is all more than <br />250' from the rear lot line. There is, however, only a limited vegetated buffer <br />along the south property line; this may disappear when the MnDOT drainageway <br />along the north side of the new Hwy 12 corridor is finished. The visual impact of <br />losing this buffer is not major; there is one house south of the 12 corridor that <br />would have second -story views of the parking area, from a distance of about 850'. <br />Lighting for the new parking will be similar in style, height, etc to the lighting on <br />the remainder of the site. This is acceptable and is expected to have no impacts <br />on adjoining residential properties which are all more than 600' distant from the <br />parking area. Additional screening of this new storage area does not appear to be <br />warranted at this time. <br />Page 3 of 8 <br />
