Memo to the Planning Commission/P 97-12 <br />December 23, 1997 <br />Page 6 <br /> <br />building includes a total of 80 living units, kitchen, dining area, general office <br />space for administration, therapy, home health, crafts and recreation and <br />parlor. Each of the assisted living units have an area of approximately 480 <br />square feet. This building is proposed to be a two-story structure. <br /> <br />Site Plan Review <br /> <br />· Parking/Circulation <br /> <br />1. The design of the entrances off Joplin frontage road will need to be <br /> reviewed to determine the appropriate width and striping of lanes. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />It is unclear why the parking lot serving the commercial building has a <br />"curvilinear design". Consideration should be given to provide a more <br />conventional design. <br /> <br />Several of the driveways entering the townhomes have difficult <br />turning movements to enter the garages. This should be reviewed to <br />try and improve this turning movement. <br /> <br />The distance between the garages on units 16 and 17 and 14 and 15 is <br />about 45 feet. It may be difficult for a resident to enter or back out of <br />these driveways if a vehicle is parked in the opposing driveway. A <br />desirable distance between garages should be 60-65 feet. <br /> <br />The Fire Chief has requested an emergency access be provided from <br />the driveway to the motel. The access drive will be used for only <br />emergencies. Furthermore, the access drive can double as a pedestrian <br />trail as requested by the Park & Recreation Commission. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Depending upon the type of commercial business, parking will need to <br />be provided in accordance with the City ordinance. Currently there is <br />not enough parking shown to serve the commercial building. <br /> <br />The Fire Chief has indicated a possible need for no parking signs <br />throughout the project. This will need to be monitored and signs will <br />have to be installed if a problem arises. <br /> <br />8. All parking and driveways shall be bounded with concrete curb and <br /> gutter (B612). <br /> <br />The radius of the private street should be increased to allow larger <br />delivery trucks and emergency vehicles easier access throughout the <br />site. <br /> <br />f:\shrdoc\planning\pc\p97-12x3.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
