Sketch Plan and Site Plan Review -Cross of Hope Addition October 28, 2010 Revised January 20, 2011 Page 3 of 8 Setbacks & Lot Coverage: The B-1 Business District requires a minimum front yard setback of thirty- five (35) plus sixty (60) feet from the centerline of the County Road, a minimum side yard setback of ten (10) feet and a minimum rear yard setback of thirty-five (35) feet. Additionally, the maximum allowable structure area in the B-1 Business District is thirty-five percent (35%) of the lot area. The proposed building addition complies with the required setbacks and the overall building area on the lot will be just over seven percent (7%). Sheet AS2: • Update the Building & Site Data table so that only Phase I data is reflected; or, revise the table such that the data is clearly broken into two groups, first Phase I and secondly Phase II (indicate that this would be a future project subject to review at that time). Architectural Standards: The B-1 Business District requires the finish of exterior walls to consist of face brick, stucco, glass, wood, natural stone, specifically designed pre -cast concrete units whose surfaces have been integrally treated with an applied decorative material or texture, or other materials as approved by City Council. The existing building is finished with a wood lap siding. The proposed building addition would consist of steel siding that would match the color and lap design of the existing siding on the building. The plan includes an alternate option of a stone veneer finish at the building's northeast entrance (should the Church be able to raise sufficient funds). Both exterior materials will require approval by City Council. Staff will recommend that City Council approve both scenarios as alternatives. Building Height: The B-1 Business District restricts building height to a maximum of thirty-five (35) feet. The existing building and proposed addition is a single story that is thirty-five (35) feet in height. Off -Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires one (1) parking space for every three (3) seats for auditoriums and mortuaries or for each five (5) feet of pew. At ultimate build -out (including Phase II) the building expansion would accommodate 457 people. The submitted parking plan includes 153 parking stalls, which meets the minimum parking standards for the full build -out. Furthermore, proposed parking stall width and depth comply with current requirements as does the drive aisle width between rows of stalls. Off -Street Parking — Surface Required: The site plan indicates an expansion of the parking area consisting of a bituminous surface, which complies with City Code. However, it is not clear on the site plan which areas are to have B-612 curbing or the flush curb identified in the curb specs. This must be clearly identified on the site plan. It should also be noted that all curbing shall consist of concrete. Sheet AS2: • Please revise site plan to specifically indicate where B-612 curbing will be installed and where the flush curbing will be installed. • All curbing shall be concrete and this should be reflected on the plan. • Please update the scale for the curbing details (it is currently shown as being 1" = 40'). • `Proof of Parking' label should be removed from the southern -most parking area as that area will be constructed and striped for parking. Fire Access: The site plan includes 150' radii for fire access purposes around the buildings and a future fire access off of 179th Lane to be constructed as part of Phase II. When using the MSFC (MN State Fire Code) approve manner to measure fire access distance, the measurement at the northwestern end of the building comes to 170 feet. However, this distance will be accepted as long as the entire building
