Memo to Mayor and City Council/CU 97-25 <br />October 20, 1997 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />conditional use permit for the recycling station. Compliance with the <br />conditions of the approval for the recycling center should be made a condition <br />of the approval for this application. <br /> <br />Overview <br /> <br />The applicant is proposing to occupy a portion of the existing building and <br />use it for his recreational vehicle repair business. He will be repairing small <br />personal recreational vehicles such as snowmobiles, motorcycles and golf <br />carts. This application does not involve any new construction, exterior <br />modifications to the existing building or outdoor storage of vehicles or <br />equipment. <br /> <br />Parking and Access <br /> <br />The zoning code requires 10 parking spaces for this type of facility. Ten <br />spaces are provided on the east side of the building facing 165th Avenue. <br />Currently there are 2 accesses from 165th Avenue. One of the driveways is <br />adjacent to the 165th Avenue and Highway 10 intersection, the other is <br />located about 130 feet to the east on 165th. Because of its proximity to the <br />Highway 10 intersection, staff is recommending that the driveway closest to <br />Highway 10 be closed and landscaped. <br /> <br />Currently the pavement between the building and 165th does not extend to <br />the eastern boundary of the parking area and is in need of repair. Staff is <br />recommending that the entire parking and travel area between the building <br />and 165th, excluding the required 10 foot setback from the right-of-way, be <br />paved and repaired. <br /> <br />Landscaping <br /> <br />Currently there are 2 trees that were planted along 165th. A landscaping <br />plan which complies with the landscaping ordinance should be provided. The <br />landscape plan could be used to fulfill the conditions of the conditional use <br />permit for the recycling center as well as any landscape requirements for this <br />application. <br /> <br />Signage <br /> <br />There is a freestanding sign on Highway 10 that is used by the recycling <br />center. No new signage is proposed for the repair business at this time. Any <br />new signage will have to comply with the sign ordinance and all signage will <br />require a sign permit. <br /> <br />\\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\scott\cu9725cc.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
