International, Ltd. Company for a Conditional Use Permit Amendment to allow the
construction of three storage silos with a height greater than 45 feet in the I-2,
General Industrial District, located at 8235 - 220 Street. Assistant City Attorney

State Statutes and City Code.
Tony Scales, Plant Manager from Tyco International, Ltd. was in attendance at
tonight's meeting to answer any questions that the Planning Commission or public
may have. Mr. Scales presented an overview of the project.
Associate Planner Frank Dempsey presented the planning report. Mr. Dempsey
stated that Tyco International, Ltd. Co. has submitted plans for the construction of
three additional 60-foot tall plastic resin storage silos on the north side of the Tyco
Company building for a total of 15 silos. He indicated that the maximum permitted
building or structure height in the I-2, General Industrial District is 45 feet unless
. approved by Conditional Use Permit.
Mr. Dempsey reviewed the history of the previously approved conditional use
permits for the Tyco building.. He stated that a conditional use permit was
approved in 1999 to allow the construction of three new 65-foot tall storage silos,
for a total of 12 silos.
He indicated that the Metropolitan Airports Commission has reviewed the plans
and is not opposed to the proposed conditional use permit amendment for the
three, 60 foot tall silos provided the crane used to install the silos will not exceed 70
feet in height. Mr. Dempsey stated that the proposed silos and the crane used to
erect the silos are exempt from FAA approval since the silos will be shielded by
existing structures of the building and will not adversely affect air navigation
safety.
Mr. Dempsey indicated that in conjunction with the Conditional Use Permit
approved in 1999, the property owner at that time, which was Rexam Corporation,
received administrative approval of a parking deferment for up to 50% of the
required number of parking spaces. Mr. Dempsey stated that the 15 silos would
bring Tyco to full production at their facility. Any demand for additional employee
parking spaces that exceeds the existing number of parking spaces will require that
• Tyco .construct additional parking spaces that had previously been deferred per the
approved parking deferment.
