Communications

 

 

SP-2002-01: Review the Preliminary Site Plan for the Kutter Pet Care project at 1607 W. Central.  Ronald and Lori Kutter presented information on the proposed project.  Dr. Kutter said the City has landscaped the right of way in front of the property facing Central Avenue.  Dr. Kutter said the intention is to make the facility as quiet as possible by limiting the number of openings in the building.  The roof would be covered with steel with insulating in the attic and a soundboard put in the attic.  Dr. Kutter said the west elevation would have a canopy and driveway so customers would also be able to pick up animals off of 159th Street.  He stated there would be a 5’ sidewalk all the way around to the back of the building.  Dr. Kutter said they have not made specific planting plans yet for the planting areas.

 

Gary Israel asked if the entrance off of Central Avenue met guidelines.  Les Mangus said yes it does meet guidelines.

 

Charley Lewis asked if 5’ was the right width for the sidewalk to be wheelchair accessible.  Les Mangus said 5’ was the right width for wheelchair accessible.

Gary Israel asked if 19’6” dimensions for the sign was the correct height.  Les Mangus said that at the corner of an arterial street intersection the height and sign could be up 20 ft.  Dr. Kutter told the group that is the same size sign he had at his other clinic.

 

Gary Israel asked where the air conditioning condenser was going to be put.  Dr. Kutter said he had not gotten that far and was waiting for recommendations from this group.  Gary Israel told Dr. Kutter he needs to look at the east side regarding landscaping, lighting in the parking area, and also whether or not he was going to be irrigating the property.

 

Dr. Kutter told the committee he would be putting a 6’ wooden fence in the back for walking the animals.  Les Mangus suggested that he plant trees on the other side of the fence. Lori Kutter said that they would like to put Bradford Pear trees out front of the building.  Les Mangus said that Ornamental Pear trees would work better as they do not spread as much.

 

Doug Allison suggested that they place curbs around the canopy area where columns would be, to protect them if hit with a vehicle.

 

It was the consensus of the Site Plan Review Committee that putting stone on the columns on the front of the building would look nice.  The committee asked Dr. Kutter to try and keep the same detail to the building that has been done with recent projects in the Andover area and keep in the character of the adjacent neighborhood.

SP-2002-02: Review the sketch Site Plan for the Faith Baptist Church Portable Building project at 417 W. Central.   Doug Allison stepped down as a Site Plan Review Committee member in order to present information on behalf of the applicant.  Jerry Smith, Pastor of the Faith Baptist Church, was introduced. 

 

Doug Allison explained that this portable building was being considered from the school district for extra classroom space for the church. 

 

Doug Allison said they liked Option A on the sketch plan the best.  The building has a metal roof and metal siding.  Mr. Allison said they would replace windows, and doors on the building.  Mr. Allison said they would modernize the windows and have a more attractive skirting around the building. Les Mangus suggested that a wainscot be put around the building to the ground.  Mr. Allison said landscaping would be done around the building.  Mr. Allison told the committee that the existing ramp walkway was fairly new.

 

Charles Malcom asked if the building was going to be permanent.  Mr. Malcom stated he would like to see the building lowered if it was to be permanent.  Mr. Allison said they did not know how long this building would be used but it is temporary.

 

Gary Israel would like the portable building to be painted to match the other buildings around it.
