Site Plan Review Letter Pro Sporting Goods & Anchor's Away Page 2 of 4 April 25, 1995 J square feet. The lot coverage on Lot 2 is proposed at 28,000 square feet which is 58 square feet over the maximum allowed. The lot coverage on Lot 3 is proposed at 28,000 square feet. Because the overage on Lot 2 is so slight, City Staff will be recommending that the Site Plan Development Permit for Lot 2 grant a 58 square foot variance to the maximum lot coverage. Setbacks: City Code requires a structure setback from Hwy. gl0 of 110 feet from centerline or 50 feet from property line, whichever is greater. The structures all meet the thoroughfare setback requriement in addition to the 10 foot side yard and 35 foot rear yard setbacks. OffStre~t Parking Spaces: City Code requires one customer parking space for every 200 square feet of retail space and really doesn't establish any guidelines for the other proposed uses in the buildings. The retail portion of the 3 facilities would be required to provide a total of 86 parking spaces. It is staffs opinion that 122 parkings spaces between Los 1, 2 and 3 should be adequate, especially when taking into consideration that the lots are developed with parking lots back-to-back to handle each others overflow parking. Loading Dock. st At the date of this writing, building elevations have not been provided but it is Staff's understanding that overhead doors will be located on the sidewalls of the structures to accommodate incoming service jobs, Storage items and merchandise delivery. Acgess to Facility.: It is proposed that the site will maintain its two current accesses onto Hwy. #10 in the vicinity of Lot 1 and the Outlot. Lots 2 and 3 will derive their access from a drive/parking lane to be developed along the entire front of the site, parallel with Hwy. #10. The Site Plan has been forwarded to IVln/DOT for comment. Design of Off-Street Parking. Maneuvering Areas and Driveway~;. City Code requires that these areas be surfaced with concrete or asphalt and that the perimeter of the pavement be finished with 6 inch continuous concrete curb. The site plan reflects that all drives, off- street parking and maneuvering areas will be paved. All areas required to have curbing are so proposed with the exception of the edge of pavement in the fenced in area on the north side of Lots I and 2. The site plan should be amended to include curbing the outer edge of pavement in this fenced area, Since outside storage is no longer a permitted use in the B-3 Business District, it should be noted for the record that the purpose of the fenced area is to provide a secure area for items waiting to go into the repair shop and is therefore considered off-street parking area. Understandably, curbing is not proposed to separate parkiiag areas between the buildings as these off-street parking areas are being designed with zero lot line to enhance the amount of parking available to the facilities.
