Klain, <br />VJe aze in receipt of a Site Plan, Urility 1?ian, Grading and Erosion Plan, Landscape Plan, and <br />Detail Sheets prepazed by Pioneer Engineering and dated March 6, 2007, and Building <br />Elevations prepared by A-Squared dated March 11, 2007. We offer the following comments: <br />General: The site plan is proposing to develop three commercial buildings (a multi-tenant retail <br />building, restaurant, and single-tenant retail buflding) on Outlot A of Rivenwick Village. The <br />subject property is located on Riverdale Drive east of Ramsey Blvd. A minor subdivision request <br />is being considered along with the site plan. <br />Zoning: The site is currently zoned Mixed-Use PUD; retail and restaurant uses aze permitted in <br />this zoning district As permitted by the MU-PUD District, B-2 Business District standards will <br />be used to evaluate The site plan proposal. <br />Building Coverage: Oudot A is 9.3 acres in size (406,853 square feet). Among the 3 buildings, <br />the site plan is proposing 115,611 square feet of building, which equates to a lot coverage of <br />28%. The proposed site plan does not exceed the City's maximum lot coverage of 35%. <br />Accessory Use: Commercial or business buildings and structures for a use accessory to the <br />principal use aze permitted, but such use shall not exceed 30% of the gross floor space of the <br />principal use. The site plan is not proposing any accessory uses. <br />Setbacks: City Code establishes a 35-foot front and reaz yazd and a 10-foot side yazd setback (20 <br />feet on comers) in the B-2 District. City Code also established a 20 foot pazking/maneuvering <br />azea from all public streets. In reviewing the site plan, Staff considered the Riverdale Drive <br />fiontage to be the front yazd and the Highway 10 frontage to be The reaz yazd. The site plan meets <br />all these setbacks. It appears that the deck for the restaurant building is slia~tly less than 35 feet <br />from the property line, which is acceptable given the site's MU-PUD designation. <br />
