Motion carded. Moting Yes: Chairperson Bawden, Commissioners LaDue, Hendriksen, Deemer, and Thorud. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Holland and Terry. Case #11: Re~luest for Site Plan Review of a Multi-Tenant Retail Facility; Case of North Lake Properties Zoning Administra, tor Frolik stated that Wayne Johnson of North Lake Properties requests site plan review to develop an 18,714 square foot multi-tenant retail facility on T.H. #10 just west of Deal Industrial Park. The facility is proposed to have access to T.H. #10 from a deteriorating bituminous access.' located just 40 feet west of the proposed Deal site access. Staff recommends that the access bo from the Deal site access which lines up with the median cut between the northbound and s6. uthbound lanes of T.H. #10. Staff also recommends that the deteriorating area shown as service ~'oad across the front of the property be improved with new pavement, concrete curb and gutter. The front 17.5 feet of property on T.H. #10 is to be void of any use, and the site plan shows an existing service road easement as the only use of that front clear zone. Staff supports this encroachment in order to preserve a corridor along the north side of the property in the event a servic~e road is developed in the future. The proposed structure meets the required setbacks. On the ~basis of retail activity, a minimum of 47 parking spaces would be required, and the site plan proposes 72. The proposal is in compliance with the 35% lot coverage restriction. It was noted that theisite plan should be modified to include proposed exterior lighting, landscaping and screened wastb storage. Wayne Johnson cfi North Lake Properties explained that they originally wanted to put a larger building on the sits but the setbacks discouraged such. They reduced the size so both sides of the building could be accessed in order to accommodate smaller tenants. He advised that the seller has requested a 60-forint private easement along the east side for a possible access to T.H. gl0 from the north. He stated that the plan would be modified with regard to waste storage. He reported that his only concern ig for the extra cost for curb and gutter on T.H. #10, but he agreed that "it clearly needs to be done." Ross Abel of Hak.anson Anderson Assoc., Inc. outlined the landscaping plan and also described the curb and gutte~ for the service road. Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner LaDue to recommend that City Council approve tt~e proposed site plan for North Lake Properties multi-tenant retail facility based upon discussion arid contingent upon compliance with City Staff Review Letter dated June 1, 1995 and any recommendations from Mn/DOT. Further Discussion: The Commission inquired about the drainage plan, and Mr. Johnson explained that the eastern half of the development will drain eastward into a detention pond which would be an enlargement of the Deal site detention pond, and the western half will drain southward to a second detention pond located in the southwest corner of the site.
