Off Street Parking Spaces: According to City Code, the following off-street parking spaces are required for this site: liquor store - I 1 (1 space per 200 square feet of retail display space); auto repair shop - 13 (1 space for each of the 4 employees and 3 spaces for each bay or in this case, overhead doors, 2 existing and 1 proposed); auto body shop - 21 (1 space for each of the 3 employees and 3 spaces for each of the 6 overhead doors, 2 existing and 4 proposed); duplex - 4 (2 per dwelling unit); used car lot - 2 (1 per 10 cars displayed, assuming car lot continues to remain a small operation). As the site is ultimately proposed to be developed, 51 parking spaces are requirecL However, the proposed use of the northerly most suite to be added is not indicated on the site plan and the number of off- sn;eet parking spaces required for this site would increase accordingly. Only i9 off-street parking spaces have been scaled off on the site plan. Additional parking spaces could be scaled off in the northeast comer of the site in the fenced area as this space is intended to provide secure off-street parking for cars awaiting body repairs. It should also be noted that this fenced area may not be used to store equipment, supplies, vehicle parts, or vehicles being dismantled for parts. Si~e Access: The site is currently served by two accesses onto Highway #10 which are located approximately 180 feet apart. It has been a recognized goal to reduce the number of accesses onto Highway #10 as much as practical. It is Staffs recommendation that the site be allowed a single access. Desi~ of Driveway. Off-Street Parking Area and Loading Facili~¢~; City Code requires that off-street parkinf-a~eas, driveways andn"~ading areas be surfaced with concrete or asphalt and finished with concrete curbing. The pavement existing on the site is in disrepair and the developer has indicated that an overlay of the pavement, which will include the installation of cement curbing along the front of the site, will have been accomplished by the rime the Planning Commission reviews the site plan. According to City Code, the pavement will also have to be extended to serve the two northerly suites to be added, the secure parking area in the northeast comer will have to be paved, and pavement will have to be installed along the west property line to provide access to the 3 overhead doors proposed on that side of the service 9enter. The outer perimeters of these paved areas will have to be finished with concrete curbing. The site plan should be modified to clearly indicate the areas to paved and curbed. The developer is seeking a 2 year rime frame, versus the standard 1 year, to accomplish these site improvements. Utilities: The site is presently served by on-site sardtary sewer and.municipal water. There is no information in the property fling indicating the location of these services. The Building Official has requested that the site plan be modified to show the locations of the on- site wells and septic systems as assurance that they will not be impacted by the expansions to structures and pavement on the property. As with past policy, the development permit should obligate the perm/nee to participate in a petition for a feasibility study of sewer and water improvements, if and when it is presented. Landscaping and Screening: Landscaping is proposed along the south end of the proposed body shop delivery/estimate center and between the existing sendce center structure and the 2-suite expansion area. The types of plant materials to be established have .not been indicated. The contractor erroneously filled in the proposed landscaped area adjacent to the liquor store with cement. The developer has indicated that potted plantings will be used to landscape that area by the liquor store. Archi~¢¢gzr~.t Design: City Code requires exterior walls to be of materials that are 100% other than metal. The developer has just recently refaced the exterior wails of the strip center with stucco. All expansion areas to the strip center will also be faced with stucco. The body shop delivery/estimate center is proposed to be faced with standard lap siding. I I I I I I I I I I I I I ! I I I I I
