Lot 2 is proposed to be 6 acres in size and <br />would be purchased by Diamonds Graphics for the construction of a 50,000 square-foot facility. <br />A large portion of that lot holds the drainage pond, which accommodates drainage for the general <br />vicinity, including both lots. Both lots meet size and dimensional requirements off the E-l <br />District. <br /> <br />Access is proposed from Azurite Street at two points for Lot 2. Staff suggests that the western <br />curb cut also accommodate access needs for Lot 1, in order to avoid the creation of 3 or more <br />accesses within 500 feet of the intersection of Bunker Lake Boulevard and Azurite Street. <br /> <br />Commission Business <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated when they split this, they need to plan for access on lot one that will <br />allow both ingress and egress for truck access. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Tim Himmer stated his concern has been the truck traffic as well, being <br />that the truck docks are on the east side any development that comes in on Lot 1 has restricted <br />access and there will be no access to Bunker Lake Boulevard. He explained on the drawing how <br />he thought the truck access should work. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated he wanted to avoid the cross easement access if possible. He stated he <br />supported the common access on the lot line. <br /> <br />Planning CommissionlNovember 1,2007 <br />Page 10 of 14 <br />
