existing 30 foot driveway into a 50 foot wide access in an area where no access rights exist (the southeast comer of Lot 2). The plan has been forwarded to Mn/DOT for comment and written response was received at the City on October 4. Mn/DOT is recommending that the common access in the southwest comer of Lot 2 (.pawn shop parcel) be relocated slightly to the west on the common property line of the pawn shop and the Zitco parcel to line up with the Hwy. #10 median crossing. This relocation of the legal access will require the cooperation of Mn/DOT and property owners in Guy Addition. This process can be initiated by Mr. Zitzloff at any time. No screening is required because the adjacent parcels are also zoned commercial. The site plan provides the required 20 foot wide landscaped area parallel to Hwy. #10 and at Staff's request, an additional 20 feet has been preserved for a possible future service road. Staff recommended and the Applicant agreed to add a couple more trees to the plan. Modifications should be made to the landscape plan accordingly. The facility will be served by municipal sewer and water.. Because of pre-existing stormwater problems in the area, this development will require stormwater improvements. The Planning Commission recommended that a comprehensive stormwater plan from the Ramsey/Anoka boundary to Sunfish Lake Blvd. be taken into consideration when determining what is necessary to facilitate Mr. ZitzlofFs project. A previous case on tonight's Council agenda will discuss stormwater drainage. The ~shoebox' parking lot lights meet City Code but the 'prism' wall mounted lights do not; the Lighting Plan will have to be modified accordingly and is subject to the approval of the City Engineer. The Planning Commission raised the question as to whether there are any local or State regulations that require security fencing and/or gating of mini-storage units. Staff cannot find any such regulations, but the Applicant has volunteered to include security gating at the access to the mini-storage units during off-business hours. Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommends approval of the Site Plan contingent upon compliance with City Staff review letter dated September 3, 1999 and determination of a stormwater plan. Council Action: Motion to approve/deny the proposed site plan for the Zitco Building contingent upon compliance with City Staff review letter dated September 3, 1999.
