Resolution No. 2019-xx Page 2 of 7 The project site has special circumstances related to its location, surroundings and topography. The proposed hydraulic press requires modification of the current building above the allowable maximum height per the zoning district. The hydraulic press is built to specific dimensions that require high ceilings regardless of the square-footage that the machine encompasses. Within the Light Industrial M-1 zoning district, there is a requirement to place all equipment within the building or to provide a screen capable of screening the item from public view. By allowing the machine to be installed inside the building, Aluminum Precision Products will be consistent with the other industrial properties in the near vicinity. Finally, the roof extension is proposed towards the rear portion of the building which promotes less visible impacts of the overall height. Finally, the subject property is located within an industrial area. No sensitive land uses are located within a 2,000-foot radius. 2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The granting of this variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights. Allowing a small portion (<1%) of the roof to be constructed to a height of 50 feet, would allow the business owner the ability to provide the necessary infrastructure to house new equipment that would allow the business to remain competitive with other businesses in the area. 3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The granting of this variance will not be detrimental to the public or surrounding properties. The subject site was constructed with a warehouse/office building and was first occupied by a manufacturing use. The project would allow the business to continue operating as it has for almost 25 years. The site and business operation will continue to operate within the required industrial operational standards and therefore will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the surrounding properties. Further, having the installation of the large new machine within the building will promote the potential for creating less noise and vibration impacts onto the adjacent properties, thereby benefitting the surrounding property. Finally, the area of the roof affected by the height increase is 1,800 square feet, which is less than one percent of the total square footage of the building 2 - 8
