Session 1524, Minutes Page 4 (re July 9, 1990 SITE PLAN - PRINCETON MANUFACTURING, 6724 OLIVE The City Manager said extension of the manufacturing facility at 6724 Olive is welcome but should be approved only if the following conditions are attached: 1. The use of the overhead truck door on Olive shall be limited to not more than four deliveries per month. 2. The recessed area at the truck door on Olive shall be constructed as per Exhibit E unless a variance is granted by the Board of Adjustment permit- ting a reduced setback for this area. 3. The existing wood frame building on Lots 16 and 17 shall be demolished and parking lot and landscaping improvements installed per Exhibit A by Octo- ber 31, 1991. 4. Terminate existing residential use of the second floor. 5. A detailed landscape plan for the site shall be submitted for review and approval by the Director of Planning. All landscaping shall be installed and maintained in accordance with such approved plan. Location and screening of a refuse area is to be included in this submittal. Mr. Charles Juengel, Juengel Construction Co., contractor for Princeton Manu- facturing, came forward. He described this project, noting that it would pro- ceed in three phases. Mrs. Thompson asked Mr. Juengel if he would comply with the listed conditions, and if the second floor residential use would be terminated. Mr. Juengel said it was his understanding that the residential area could be occupied if it was brought up to current fire standards. Planning Director Al Goldman was asked to carne forward. Mr. Goldman said the City would like to see the residential use discontinued since it is not consistent with industrial uses and provides no amenities, such as parking, for a residential user. Mayor Majerus asked if the owner has agreed to discontinue using the residential units, and Mr. 01- lendorff said the owner has not agreed to this.

He agreed with Mr. Price that it might be difficult to police this. Mr. Adams asked if the alley could be used for unloading, and Mr. Hutchison said the lower alley ele- vation prevented that, however, he noted the truck is not in the street but completely inside the building when unloading. There were no questions on the second condition, but it was noted that the company cannot have a reduced set- back (desired by both the company and the City) unless the Board of Adjustment grants a variance. For the third condition, it was pointed out that the new building must be completed before the old buildings can be demolished. On condition #4, Mr. 011endorff said the City wants to see the second floor resi- dential use discontinued, if not today, at least by a certain date. The City Manager said it was his understanding that the owner agreed with condition #5. Mr. Price asked if there were any safety issues at stake with tenants living (me above a heavy equipment manufacturing plant. Mr. Goldman said it was not de- sirable to have residential use mixed with industrial, however, in this situa- tion he was not aware of any specific health hazards. Mr. Hutchison said the
