CASE REQUEST FOR SITE PLAN REVIEW OF A MULTI-TENANT RETAIL FJ~CILITY; CASE OF NORTH LAKE PROPERTIES ~ By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: Wayne Johnson.of North Lake Properties is seeking site plan review to develop an 18,7 I4 square foot multi-tenant retail facility on T.H. #10 just west of Deal Industrial Park. The following items a) Site 1 b) c) are enclosed: ocation map Site l)lan, Grading Plan, Building Elevations City ;taffreview letter dated June 1, 1995 Notification: Site plans are not r ~e!quired to be subjected to a public hearing. As a courtesy, a copy of the site plan has been provid~ed to the adjoining property owners on the east and west. Observations: ~ The facility is proposed to receive access to Hwy. #10 from a deteriorating bituminous access located just 40 feet Iwest of the proposed Deal site access. City Staff is recommending that the access be from the Deal site access, which lines up with the median cut between the northbound and southbound langs of T.H. #10. It is also Staff's recommendation that the deteriorating area shown as service ro~d across the front of the property be improved with new pavement, concrete curb and gutter. A Copy of the site plan has been forwarded to Mn/DOT. The front 17.5 feet Of property on Hwy. #10 is to be void of any use and the site plan shows an existing service ro~d easement as the only use of that front clear zone. Staff supports this encroachment in orqter to preserve a corridor along the north side of the property in the event a service road is devellpped along this corridor in the future. The proposed structure meets the required setbacks. As was the case with Deal Industrial Park to the east, the structure is set back from the rear property line 60 feet to preserve a corridor in the event a service road !s developed along this route at some point in the future. The facing finish on ~e building is proposed to be painted, rock face concrete block. On the basis of retail activity, a minimum of 47 parking spaces would be required; the site plan proposes 72. In accordance with City Code, all of the proposed drives, off-su:eet parking and maneuvering areas ~e proposed to be surfaced with bituminous and finished with B-612 concrete curbing. ~ The proposal is in col'npliance with the 35% lot coverage restriction. The site plan did not include any proposal for exterior lighting, landscaping or screened waste storage and should bi modified accordingly.
