Site Plan Review and CUP Amendment: Northern Counties Secretarial Services Expansion July 3, 2007 Revised: July 19, 2007 Page 2 of 4 additional traffic impact that a deli operation might add. A review of the Traffic Impact Analysis for the nearby proposed Rum River Estates and Shade Tree Cottages subdivisions prepared in April of 2005 rated the current Level of Service (LOS) at the intersection ofNowthen Boulevard and 157th Lane as LOS B for both the AM and PM peak hours. This LOS was predicted to remain unchanged With the development of the two new subdivisions. Maximum Structure i\rea: The lot is approximately 5.6 acres (243,936 square feet). With the new addition, the building will be approximately 11,084 square feet, for a total building coverage of about 5%. TheB-1 Business District has a ma.ximum structure area of 35%. The existing CUP also caps total building area on the site to 22,000 square feet. Utilities: The facility is currently served by a well and septic system. Either the existing system will need to be upgraded or replaced to accommodate the new use, or municipal sewer and \vater "Will need to be brought to the site. Should municipal services be required, a Comprehensive Plan Amendment would be necessary before the project can move forward. A drainage and utility easement would also be necessary, depending on utility routes. The need for a fire suppression system should also be part of the analysis on what type of utility upgrades are ultimately selected. You have indicated that you intend to upgrade or replace the existing septic, as needed. An approved septic design is required prior to the issuance of a building permit. Setbacks: The B-1 Business District requires front, side, side corner, and rear building setbacks of 35 feet, 10 feet, 20 feet, and 35 feet, respectively. Parking lots and paving must be 20 feet from the street right-of-way. The existing CUP also requires an 1 OO-foot building setback (technically 80-foot buffer and 20- foot building setback from that buffer) from the common property line with Lot 3, Block 4 Halls Dover Acres. A nO-foot building setback (technically 100-foot buffer and 20-foot building setback from that buffer) from the northeast and east property lines. As the building is proposed to expand to the south and \~7est, no additional encroachment is proposed to the north, northeast, or east. The proposed expansion meets all setback requirements. The existing ClJP also calls out that any daycare play areas be located and screened such that adjacent properties are protected from noise. The play area is proposed on the western side of the building, and 'will be fenced. Architectural Standards: The B-1 Business District requires that exterior wall finishes consist of brick, stucco, glass, wood, natural stone, pre-case concrete, other materials as approved by the City. The existing building is brick and siding, and the expansion is proposed to be a combination of brick and 1;4 log siding. The site plan indicates the play area will be fenced in; please indicate its proposed height and what type of material "Will be used. A fence taller than 6 feet may require a separate building permit. -150-
