<br />CITY OF LAPORTE <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMO <br /> <br />TO: BOB SPEAKE <br />FROM: D~AULISSEN <br />DATE: 03/20/85 <br />SUBJECT: SPECIAL USE PERMIT-DANA TANK-BL.24 <br /> <br />The City has received a request from Dana Tank Container, Inc. for a <br />special use permit to operate a Truck Terminal and Truck Wash. The <br />proposed location is on North "L" Street and describe as the Eastern <br />265 feet of blk. 24. This site is North of the old land fill site and <br />just South of the Gulf Motorship car terminal. <br /> <br />HISTORY <br /> <br />Dana Tank Container, Inc. is an East coast tank truck line and tank <br />cleaning company. The proposed site is currently zoned "I" <br />industrial, but must have a special use permit to allow the truck wash <br />and terminal. Dana has completed both the utility verification and <br />address request paperwork. Water and sewer service as well as a road <br />must be brought to the site. Sanitary sewer service is the most <br />critical challenge faced by this proposal as depth of the main is a <br />problem. Drainage must also be accomplished from the proposed site. <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br /> <br />The site is not currently served by any City utilities. The lack of <br />services can be resolved if the following specifics are addressed: <br /> <br />Sanitary sewer service will require a utility extension of about <br />2000 feet of probably 12" sewer line. The location of the <br />building on the site will be critical if it is to be served by <br />sewer without the construction of a lift station. Since this <br />information is late in coming there is not a site plan for your <br />review as of yet. <br /> <br />Water will require an extension of about 1500 feet of 8" water <br />line. Due to Fire Code requirements, an interior fire loop or <br />extension will also be required on site so that no part of the <br />building is more than 300' from a hydrant. The extension of the <br />water main has one other challenge to face. The indications are <br />from previous plans that "L" St. is closed West of 2nd street. <br />Since any water extension must follow this route, an easement will <br />have to be produced by Dana. <br /> <br />As mentioned above, certain construction drawings indicate that <br />"L" is closed West of 2nd St. Ingress and egress should be along <br />
