Case ~4: Request for Site Plan Review; Case of Shorewood Zonkng Administrator SyMa Frolik explained that Yon Menke of Shorewood tLV. has applied for site plan review to construct and operate a full-service recreational vehicle center on the south side at' Highway 10 at its intersection with Llama Street. tt was noted the development includes a 27,115 square foot bugding for indoor display, sales office, and maintenance shop areas, served by an orr-site septic and well, and proposes access from three locations on Riverdale Drive NW mad one egress onto Llama Street. The proposed development is in compliance with City Code regarding lot coverage, setbacks, architectural standards, landscaping, and waste storage. However, the furore building expansion proposed on the south side of the structure will encroach by five feet into the 35 foot setbackfi'om the south property ~ne. Therefore, staff'recommends relocating the building five feet north. Ms. Frolik advised the site plan does not clearly reflect that all display and parking areas will be surfaced w/th bituminous or that the entire perimeter will be fini.~hed with concrete curbing. She reviewed the number of parking spaces required, number provided, and noted that the site plan does not indicate the number of employees on the site so she is unsure tithe four parking spaces wi'Il be sufficient. Peter I4_.ilger, Portfolio Design Services representing Shorewood ILV., stated their agreement with staff' suggestion to shift the building to the north to accommodate future building expansion. With respect to areas to be surfaced in asphalt versus Class V, he pointed out the area they intend to blacktop and stated their intention was that the bal~ee will be in Class V. Mr. Ir_alger referenced' City Code indicating "or alternate materials if'approved by the City Engineer". He explained it is their impression that the area to be blacktopped will be most used from the first day of business and they will transition the other areas into blacktop as the size of the bu~ne~ demand~ it. Mr. I-filger stated they believe they have more than adequate parking spaces; they have shown 250 display units on the property for where 25 spaces are required; they are provir~ing 45 spaces. Mr. Hilger assured the Planning Commissiori there is adeca~ space on the site to accommodate required parking and it is his intention to work with staff'to resolve their concern. Chairperson Bawden pointed out there is not a big confli~ in parking space calculations between the staff' and the developer. Mr. Hilger stated he believes the parking space requirement for the service bays (8) seems to be high and re. mtect his willingness to work with smffto address this concern and locate parking spaces, if required to do so. Commis.doner Holland encouraged staff'to remain flexible regarding the number of parking spaces. With regard to location of curbing, Mr. I-Iilger stated their intent to install curbing where ever the Iot is surfar~ in asphalt. Ms. Frolik recommended no business activity be allowed to encroach beyond the pavement. She noted the efforts of the City to gain compliance with this requirement along Planning Commission/October 1, 1996 Page 5 of 9 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
