i 1 I CASE # 5 ' REQUEST FOR jITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR AN EXPANSION TO RUM RIVER PLAZA SHOPPING CENTER; CASE OF BOB MULLER ' 1 1 By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: Bob Muller is requdsting site plan approval to construct a 16,920 square foot addition to Rum River Plaza Shopping Center. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Site location map ' b) Site p c) City Staff Review Letter dated June 1, 1995 d) Proposed site plan development permit Notification: ' Site Plans are not r uired to be subjected to a public hearing. However, the adjacent properties to the west and south o� the shopping center are impacted by the development and have been provided with a copy of the case that was submitted to the Planning Commission on June 6, 1995. r Observations: i The proposed expa�`n sion is in conformance with City Code as it pertains to lot coverage, architectural standards, and bituminous /curbed off - street parking. Although there is a Oubstantial amount of existing and proposed off -street parking, the site plan does not clearly indi4ate that the requirement for 1 space for every 200 square feet of retail space is met. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the off -street parking as submitted as ' these requirements were reviewed as a future second phase of the shopping center when the original site plan wasp reviewed and approved. City Code requires l 40 foot wide landscaped yard and screening where commercial uses abut ' residential use s. requirement impacts the west and south property lines and whether or not the setback distance met is not identified The 40 foot yard on the south side of the property can be met but it is que tionable on the west side. The Planning Commission again recommended ' approval of the site p an as submitted without any additional requirements for screening as the City committed to the de lopment plan with the fast phase of the shopping center. E ' In the review letter, staff suggested that a grading and drainage plan would be required and that it would be necessary i o construct a sedimentation pond for water detention and skimming prior to discharge. The Plant ing Commission recalled that the original development included drainage and storm sewer improv ments sized and constructed to handle this future second phase. Upon a ' subsequent meeting with the City Engineer, Mr. Muller presented the original development construction plan. ese plans show that the design and sizing of the existing drainage system anticipated the devel pment now being proposed. The original construction was down sized from the approved plan. In view of the facts (a) that the storm sewer is adequately sized for the proposed developme it, (b) it appears that the adjacent properties will drain away from the subject property, and (c) a w -,tland located on the golf course property approximately 500 feet away is the final destination of storm runoff from this site; the requirements for site detention may be waived in ' this case. 1 �y�
