ITEM SUMMARY:
Representatives from Jigged Ventures appeared before the Development Committee on November
13, 2018 to review this concept. They were seeking possible amendments to the PUD to modify the
permitted use list and certain build-out requirements (e.g., setbacks and building design) for the 560
W. Roosevelt and 600 W. Roosevelt lots. At that time, there was consensus among Development
Committee members to support the proposal, as presented. However, a request to delay some of the
landscaping installation was not discussed at that meeting and is reviewed below.
The proposal seeks to amend the PUD to allow redevelopment of Lot 1 (at 600 W. Roosevelt) with an
11,885 square foot contractor's equipment sales and leasing building and a warehouse. This change
would allow Atlas Bobcat to relocate from its current location at 490 Topsoil Drive and benefit from
exposure along a major highway. The proposal would also allow Lot 2 (at 560 W. Roosevelt) to con-
tain a 16,045 square foot warehouse/office building. Groebner & Associates would relocate there from
their current location at 450 Fenton Lane, which affords more room for growth and better highway ex-
posure.
To accomplish this, the PUD amendment would add two new permitted uses. First, it would add “Con-
tractors Equipment Sales and Leasing with Outside Ancillary Storage” for Lot 1. It also would add
“Outside Ancillary Storage to a Permitted Use” for Lot 2. The amendment would accomplish other
things, as well:
1. Increase the allowable warehouse floor area from 67% to 80%, which is seen as a concession
to the current marketplace.
2. Modify the building design somewhat by reducing the required window space while increasing
the amount of brick.
3. Grant deviations to reduce the required 20 foot setback along Roosevelt Road to 10.4 feet to
allow construction of three concrete pads for the display of Atlas Bobcat equipment.
4. Reduce the required 10 foot setback for a freestanding sign along Roosevelt Road to three feet
for Lot 1 and to one foot for Lot 2.
At the Plan Commission/ZBA meeting on July 2, 2019, a new request came from the petitioner to de-
lay installation of landscaping on Lot 2. The PUD currently requires installation of the landscaping on
both Lots 1 and 2 prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for Lot 1, regardless of the construc-

tion or occupancy status of Lot 2. The intent is to provide an attractive and uniform appearance from
Roosevelt Road. By delaying the installation of landscaping on Lot 2, without any guarantee that a
business will actually move forward to build and occupy Lot 2, these appearance goals are not met.
Staff recommends retaining the current language regarding landscaping, as indicated in the attached
draft.
The Plan Commission/ZBA reviewed the proposed amendments and recommended unanimously in
favor by a vote of 6-0, including the change regarding landscaping. However staff remains concerned
with the landscaping requirement and believes the current language in the PUD better serves the
City’s goals for the properties.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Recommendation to approve Ordinance #19-O-0025.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Development Committee members voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend Ordinance #19-O-0025,
as amended, for approval. The amendment spells out when landscaping installation on Lot 2 must
occur should building construction on Lot 2 not proceed as planned.
