TPC FILE: 101.02
BACKGROUND
Acuity Landholdings LLC has submitted an application to develop an 11, 880 square foot
building with up to seven suites upon Lot 2, Block 1 Otsego I-94 West Industrial Park 4th
Addition. The proposed building is subject to site and building plan review in accordance with
Section 11-9-3 of the Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission will consider the proposed
development at their meeting on 19 May 2025.

Photometric lighting plan dated 3/17/2025
ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is guided for industrial uses by the Future Land Use
Plan map of 2023 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed building is to be build-to-suit for up to
seven business tenants in suites between 1,680 square feet to 1,800 square feet; one tenant
could also occupy multiple suites. Development of the proposed multiple tenant building is an
opportunity to add industrial space for small businesses within the City. The proposed
development is consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
Item 4.1
2
Zoning. The subject site is zoned I-2, General Industrial District, which provides for business
locations with office, storage, warehouse, assembly, compounding and the like uses. The
proposed building may be occupied by any permitted use in the I-2 District; those uses allowed
as a conditional use or interim use within the I-2 District would require application for the
appropriate zoning approval prior to occupancy.
No outdoor storage is indicated on the submitted plans. Outdoor storage would include parking
of any vehicles, trailers, or equipment outside of designated parking stalls, use of land/sea or
detached accessory buildings for storage, material stockpiles, waste and recycling storage, etc.
Unless approved with an interim use permit, outdoor storage will be prohibited.
City staff further recommends that approval of the site and building plans include a stipulation
that residential occupancy is prohibited.
Building Materials. The architectural plans identify that the exterior of the proposed building is
to be finished with architectural panels having three different textures/colors. The north
elevation (front) of the building uses two panels with different vertical seem forms along with
an artificial stone wainscoting. The sides and rear of the building use a stucco texture and a
third color. The proposed exterior finish of the building complies with Section 11-17-4.E.1 of the
Zoning Ordinance.
Building Height. Buildings within the I-2 District may be up to 48 feet in height as allowed by
Section 11-86-9 of the Zoning Ordinance. The height of the building is divided into three
sections with the center section having a higher roof line. The height of the building measured
to the mid-point of the center roof section is 26 feet, which complies with the Zoning
Ordinance.
Lot Requirements. Lots within the I-2 District are required to be a minimum of 2.0 acres in area
with a minimum width of 200 feet by Section 11-86-6 of the Zoning Ordinance. The area of the
existing lot platted with the Otsego I-94 West Industrial Park 4th Addition is 3.47 acres and its
width is 265 feet. The existing lot of record complies with the minimum requirements of the I-2
District.
Setbacks. The table below states the required setbacks applicable to the lot as established by
Section 11-86-7 of the Zoning Ordinance and the setbacks measured from lot lines to the
proposed building:
71st Street 70th Street Side
Required 30ft. 30ft. 20ft.
Proposed 64ft. 447ft. 38ft.30ft.
Note that the preliminary plat was approved prior to 14 August 2002 and, as such, no wetland
setback is required by Section 11-16-5.F of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed building
complies with applicable setback requirements.
3
Building Coverage. Section 11-86-8 of the Zoning Ordinance limits coverage of the lot by
buildings to 50 percent of the lot area. The extent of wetlands within the existing lot of record
greatly limits opportunity for location of principal or accessory structures within the lot. As a
result, the proposed 11,880 square foot building covers only 7.9 percent of the lot. The
proposed development complies with the building coverage limits of the I-2 District.
Off-Street Parking. The subject lot is to be accessed from 71st Street, which is a local industrial
street. The site plan has one 24 foot wide access at the center of the property, the design and
location of which conforms with the requirements of Section 11-21-6 of the Zoning Ordinance.
City staff has suggested the developer consider two accesses to 71st Street at the east and west
ends of the off-street parking area to facilitate interior site circulation.
The off street parking area is setback 15 feet from the right-of-way for 71st Street 30 feet from
side lot lines. There is 45 feet between the north curb line and north elevation of the proposed
building. The off-street parking area is shown to be paved with asphalt and surrounded by
concrete curb and gutter. The design and construction of the off-street parking area is to
comply with Section 11-21-7 of the Zoning Ordinance subject to review and approval of the City
Engineer.
Section 11-21-8 of the Zoning Ordinance requires industrial uses to provide one off-street
parking space for each 200 square feet of office, one space for each 350 square feet of
manufacture/assembly, and/or one space for each 1,000 square feet of warehouse. Based on
minimal use of the building suites for office and warehouse space, there should be at least 14
off-street parking spaces on site for any vehicles not kept within the buildings.
The width of the off-street parking area is sufficient to allow for a two-way drive aisle and 18
foot deep parking stalls along the north curb line. City staff recommends that nine foot wide
parking spaces be striped on the pavement along the north curb line where there is sufficient
area for 17 parking spaces, with one space being designated for disability accessibility. A
minimum of 14 parking spaces are to be stripped onto the off-street parking area in accordance
with Section 11-21-7.F of the Zoning Ordinance.
The supply of off-street parking will need to be monitored in accordance with Section 11-21-4.C
of the Zoning Ordinance as occupancy of the tenant spaces is proposed for buildout to ensure
the required number of spaces are available.
Landscaping. The site plan shows six overstory trees to be planted in the yard adjacent to 71st
Street, whereas Sheet C5 includes generic landscape information cut/pasted from the Zoning
Ordinance, including listing the proposed trees as red maple and white oak. Turf grass is
required in the front yard and must include irrigation as required by Section 5-2-3.C.2 of the
City Code.
4
Signs. The submitted plans do not identify proposed signs. Any signs are to comply with
Chapter 37 of the Zoning Ordinance and require issuance of a sign permit by the Zoning
Administrator prior to installation.
Waste Storage. The submitted plans do not identify locations for waste storage within the
buildings or an exterior enclosure. If any exterior trash containers are to be utilized, an
enclosure(s) will need to be identified on the site plan that comply with the requirements of
Section 11-18-4.C of the Zoning Ordinance and subject to approval of the Zoning Administrator.
Exterior Lighting. Section 11-16-6.C.1 of the Zoning Ordinance limits the intensity of light at the
property lines to not more than 0.4 foot-candles. Light fixtures are required to have a 90 degree
horizontal cut-off as required by Section 11-16-6.C.3 of the Zoning Ordinance. The height of
freestanding light fixtures is limited to 25 feet by Section 11-16-6.C.4.a of the Zoning Ordinance.
The developer submitted a photometric lighting plan, but it is not overlaid on the site plan to
confirm compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. An updated photometric plan will be required
to be submitted with application for a building permit to verify compliance with the Zoning
Ordinance.
Utilities. Each suite has the opportunity for an interior restroom. The developer has submitted
a utility plan for connection of the proposed building to City sewer and water utilities, which are
available at the property. The City Engineer has met with the Utility Department to review the
submitted plans and provided comments. All utility plans are subject to review and approval of
the City Engineer.
Utility Availability Charges were previously assessed to the lot of record. Utility Connection
Charges will be collected when a building permit is issued for the building shell and additional
Utility Connection Charges for each tenant space based on occupancy subject to Fee Schedule
in effect at that time.
Grading Plan. Plans for grading, erosion control, and stormwater management have been
submitted for the property. All grading, drainage, and erosion control plans are subject to
review and approval of the City Engineer.
Common Interest Community. The subject property can exist as rental units under single
ownership or with individual ownership by Common Interest Community. If a Common Interest
Community ownership arrangement is planned, declaration documents are to be submitted
and are subject to review of the City Attorney and approval of the City Council in the manner of
a final plat.
SIPA. Section 11-9-7 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that the developer enter into a
performance agreement with the City to provide for construction of the project improvements
within the subject property. The City Attorney will draft the performance agreement, which is
subject to approval by City Council resolution.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
CC: Adam Flaherty, City Administrator
Audra Etzel, City Clerk
Daniel Licht, City Planner
Dave Kendall, City Attorney
Dustin Heggum, Acuity Holdings
Krystle Block, Bloch Engineering
FROM: Ronald Wagner, P.E. City Engineer
DATE: May 7, 2025
RE: ACG Condos
We have reviewed the following information provided by Bloch Engineering on behalf of Acuity
Holding regarding the ACG Condos.
Site Development Plans for ACG Condos, Otsego, dated 3/18/2025.
The submittal is to be considered for preliminary acceptance. We would offer the following
comments:
Cover Sheet – C1
1. Add CEAM to governing standards.
2. Add City Engineer signature block.
Existing and Removal Plan – C2
3. Add street saw cut and removal for sanitary sewer connection.
Site & Utility Plan – C3
4. Water service can be reduced to 2” water service and new valve per size of building and no
fire suppression system required.
5. Sidewalk required to utility room.
6. Sewer can go directly across to north side of 71st Street and connect with sewer wye. Street
can be removed and replaced. The City of Otsego will be placing an overlay in 2026.

Grading & Erosion Control Plan – C4
7. Does the filtration pond have drain tile under the bottom of the pond or is it designed to
continue into the soil beneath the filtration layer? Knowing the tight soils in this area, we
would need a infiltration test of the in situ soils.
8. Please provide a typical detail of the parking lot pavement section and curb.
9. Please use standard detail plate in the Engineering Manuel found on-line for construction
entrance and valley gutter.
Landscape Plan
10. No comments other than placing sheet title in block.
