PURPOSE:
The Petitioner, Scientel Solutions, LLC, is requesting approval of a Final Plat Revision subdividing the Subject Property into 2 lots.
BACKGROUND:
The Subject Property is currently vacant land with B-2(S) General Retail - Special Use zoning, which is part of the Eola Venture I Special Use Planned Development. In January of this year, the City Council approved a Special Use Planned Development Revision, a Preliminary Plan and Plat, and a Special Use for a 195 foot communication facility on the Subject Property. Additional information on the legislative history of the property can be found in the attached Property Information Sheet.
The Petitioner is requesting approval of a Final Plat Revision. The details of the request include a two lot subdivision with Lot 1 consisting of 1 acre which will be developed for future retail uses and Lot 2 consisting of 1.67 acres which will be developed as an office building with an accessory communications facility and on-site detention.
Concurrently with this proposal, the Petitioner is requesting approval of a Final Plan for Lot 2 of Scientel Solutions Subdivision. The details of the request include the construction of a 16,032 square foot, 2- story office building along with an associated 55 space parking lot, which will house the headquarters of Scientel Solutions, LLC as the company plan to relocate their offices from Lisle. The proposal also includes the installation of a 195 foot lattice style communications facility which will be an accessory to the Scientel Solutions headquarters building. The new facility is proposed to be placed just to the north of the proposed building. On-site stormwater management facility is being constructed along the west portion of Lot 2 adjacent to the internal road.
A full Landscape Plan is proposed for throughout Lot 2. The Final Plan proposal also includes building and signage elevations. The façade of the building is a mixture of brick and aluminum composite panels with insulated glazing windows. A 25' foot overall development sign is being proposed on Lot 1 of Scientel Solutions Subdivision located at the southwest corner of the Subject Property, just north of the access road off of N. Eola Road. The sign elevation matches the aluminum composite panels used on the building and will accommodate for other users within the overall development.
Access to the site will be via N. Eola Road along the south side of the Subject Property. The petitioner will also be constructing an internal road to the north that bisects Lot 1 and 2 which will eventually connect to Diehl Road when the northern portion of the overall development is built.
The Petitioner is also in the process of obtaining offsite easements.
