points for the project. As part of the improvements, the Applicant will be eliminating the existing, southern access point, creating an egress only access point approximately in the center of the new lot, and creating an ingress/egress access point at the northern boundary of the new lot. City Staff has submitted the plan set to Anoka County Highway staff also for formal comment but as of the writing of this case, have not received comments back. Based on earlier discussions with the Applicant, the northern access point will straddle the property boundary between Lots 1 & 2, which will require a cross -access easement. There is also an existing driveway serving another lot that is to be modified to connect with the proposed northern access to eliminate two access points directly adjacent to one another. The submittal did not include any building elevations. At this time, it is unknown specifically what the proposed exterior wall finishes will be. Staff will continue to work with the Applicant regarding exterior finishes and seek color elevations prior to bringing forward to the City Council. Due to both the expansion of parking area and the building, additional landscaping is required. Presently, there is no proposed landscaping with the plan set. The Staff Review Letter outlines the minimum requirements for the Applicant and Staff will continue to work with them to ensure the minimum standards are met. Alternatives. Alternative 1. Recommend approval of the CUP, Minor Plat, and Site Plan contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter. The church has been operating in this location for a number of years with no known issues. The proposed building expansion complies with all building setbacks as does the plat. Staff supports this alternative. Alternative 2. Do not recommend approval of the CUP, Minor Plat and Site Plan. As long as the revisions outlined in the Staff Review Letter are incorporated into the plan set, Staff sees no reason not to approve these requests. Staff does not support this alternative. Funding Source: All costs associated with this request are the responsibility of the Applicant. Recommendation: Staff recommends approving the requested CUP, Minor Plat, and Site Plan. Action: Motion to recommend City Council adopt Resolution #17-05-101 approving a CUP, Minor Plat and Site Plan associated with a proposed expansion of Trott Brook Hall, subject to approval as to legal form by the City Attorney.
