PLANNING 10-07-15
The Board considered SP-15-00415, a site plan for the construction of a 24,000 square foot industrial building and additional parking for the expansion of McFarlane Aviation Manufacturing. The property, Lot 1 Block 1 Vinland Airzone 2nd Plat, is unaddressed but is adjacent to and south of 696 E 1700 Road. The application was submitted by Hernly Associates, Inc for Land and Sky, LC, property owner of record. Mary Miller, Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Staff, presented the item.
The key points of the request are the proposed building is for the expansion of the existing business, increasing the number of employees to approximately 95 employees; exterior storage is not proposed with this application; and the property is zoned for industrial uses and has been platted.
Thellman asked if there is ever a point where there are too many people for a septic system. Miller stated it could happen, but there is room enough for the applicant to put in a larger tank if that happens.
Gaughan opened the item for public comment.
Dan McFarland, representing the applicant, stated there is one change in the design here they combined two sets of bathrooms into one and will utilize one septic system. There is a contingency plan if they were to outgrow the present system. The current septic system capacity if adequate for the size of the employees they have.
Gaughan asked if this has been worked out with the Health Department. McFarland replied, “Not yet.” But, they will do whatever the Health Department advises.
Thellman moved to approve SP-15-00415, a site plan for the construction of a 24,000 square foot industrial building and additional parking for the expansion of McFarlane Aviation Manufacturing. Motion was seconded by Gaughan and
carried 2-0.
