Subdivision Committee October 11, 2007 Page 4 of 5 LSD 07-2710: Large Scale Development (OZARKS ELECTRIC, 440): Submitted by CRAFTON, TULL, SPARKS & ASSOC. for property located at 3641 W. WEDINGTON DRIVE. The property is zoned R -A, RESIDENTIAL -AGRICULTURAL and R -O, RESIDENTIAL -OFFICE and contains approximately 35.78 acres. The request is for a facilities expansion with a 31,669 s.f. warehouse, covered parking, expanded existing storage areas, 2 additional parking lots and private drive connecting south to Persimmon Road. Andrew Garner, Senior Planner, gave the staff report. Garner discussed the background for this property with the existing Ozark Electric Office and maintenance yard. The property was proposed to be rezoned to I-1 in July 2007 and was tabled indefinitely. After subsequent meetings between the applicant and staff it was determined that the expansions desired by Ozark Electric fall under Use Unit 3, Public and Protection Facilities, and are allowed by right in the R -A zoning on the property where the expansions are proposed. As part of the expansion the applicant will be providing a dense landscape buffer and berm along the east and west property lines to screen this use from adjacent residential uses and zonings. Street improvements are recommended to Persimmon Street as described in the staff report. Cross access to adjacent residential properties was not recommended, due to the land use incompatibilities. Staff recommends approval of the large scale development, with conditions as listed in the staff report. Sarah Patterson, Urban Forester, discussed the recommended tree preservation conditions as noted in the staff report, including 282 mitigation trees required to be planted onsite. Three areas of preserved trees are required to be located within tree preservation areas on the easement plat. Patterson discussed that existing street trees on Persimmon Street will be preserved if possible and will be evaluated and protected with tree preservation as needed during construction. Jonathan Ely (applicant) stated agreement with recommended conditions of approval. He discussed that the project will be effectively buffered from the surrounding property. No public comment was received. Commissioner Trumbo stated that findings were required for the recommended street improvements. All commissioners stated agreement with the recommended street improvements. Commissioner Ostner asked if the 12 -foot asphalt trail along Persimmon would be in addition to sidewalk. Jeremy Pate, Director of Current Planning, responded that the trail would be in lieu of sidewalk. Commissioner Ostner asked if there was sidewalk along Wedington. Jonathan Ealy (applicant) state that, yes, there was sidewalk on Wedington. Commissioner Ostner asked if the razor wire fence was inside or outside the berm and landscape Subdivision Committee October 11, 2007 Page 5 of 5 buffer. Ely stated that the razor wire fence was inside the berm and landscape buffer and should not be visible from surrounding property. Commissioner Trumbo asked about the street stub -out from the Westside village project adjacent to the west. Pate responded that connection to the stub -out on the adjacent property was not recommended for land use compatibility reasons with this utility facility and a mixed use and residential development. He discussed that the issue of Ozark Electric expanding and possibly connecting to this stub -out was evaluated and discussed at the time the Westside Village PZD project was approved, and that it was discussed that the Ozark Electric facility was not appropriate to connect to the residential stub - out. He discussed that if the uses on the Ozark Electric property change or the property redevelops in the future then it would be possible to connect to the stub -out. That opportunity would remain. Commissioner Cabe commended staff and the applicant for working together to get the project in shape to be approved at this level. Motion: Commissioner Cabe made a motion to approve the request. Commissioner Ostner seconded the motion. The motion passed with a vote of 3-0-0. All business being concluded, the meeting adjourned at 9.20 AM.
