Memo to the Planning Commission/CU 97-17 <br />July 22, 1997 <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />connection between the two lots provided for near the main entrance from <br />Evans Street. The access would be located along the west property line, <br />adjacent to the right-of-way for Highway 169. A driveway connecting the two <br />parcels in this location could disrupt the stacking area for the car wash, and, <br />if the right in from 197th is maintained, could be used as a shortcut to the <br />development on Outlot A. Should the second connection be provided, it should <br />be constructed as part of the development of this site. <br /> <br />Signa~e <br /> <br />The apphcant is showing a freestanding sign located on the northwest corner <br />of the site. The sign is shown as being on the top of a 3 foot high mound, this <br />mound should be eliminated and the sign placed on the same grade as the <br />surrounding land. All signage will require a sign permit and comply with the <br />sign agreement for the Hillside Crossing II. The freestanding sign for this <br />sign shall be monument style with a maximum height of 10 feet and a <br />maximum area of 100 square feet. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />In order to accomphsh the necessary buffering from the adjacent residential <br />area while maintaining adequate sight triangle between the right turn from <br />197th onto Evans and the proposed access onto Evans, the berm along 197th <br />and Evans will have to be widened. In order to achieve this, the building will <br />have to be shifted away from the northeast corner of the site and the <br />proposed site plan modified. <br /> <br />If the Planning Commission decides to recommend approval of this request <br />for a conditional use permit, the following conditions should be included: <br /> <br />THE TOP OF THE BERM ALONG 197TH AND EVANS BE AT LEAST 6 FEET ABOVE THE <br />FINISHED FLOOR ELEVATION OF THE BUILDING. <br /> <br />2. THE PROPOSED DRIVEWAY ON EVANS STREET LINE UP OPPOSITE 196TH AVENUE. <br /> <br />A LANDSCAPING PLAN BE PROVIDED THAT IS MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT WAS SHOWN <br />ON THE APPROVED CONCEPT PLAN AND COMPLIES WITH WHAT IS REQUIRED IN THE <br />ZONING CODE. THE LANDSCAPING SHOULD INCLUDE EVERGREEN TREES PLANTED <br />ON THE BERM, OVERSTORY TREES PLANED ALONG THE STREET FRONTAGE AND THE <br />SOUTH PROPERTY LINE, AND UNDERSTORY TREES PLANTED ON THE INTERIOR OF THE <br />SITE. THE SCREENING PROVIDED ON THE BERM WILL BE IN ADDITION TO <br />LANDSCAPING REQUIRED BY ORDINANCE. <br /> <br />THE STRIPPED PENINSULAS LOCATED AROUND THE BUILDING SHOULD BE CURBED <br />AND LANDSCAPED, NOT STRIPPED PAVEMENT <br /> <br />\\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\scott\cu97-17.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
