Case File: CU 12-06 <br />Page 2 <br />HRA Parking lot <br />King Avenue Lot expansiom <br />Fire access. Main issues included the ability of the fire department to navigate King Avenue's internal <br />parking lanes. While the Fire Department does not need to access the new parking lot, they will lose the <br />ability to access the rear of the buildings via the existing one way drive lane. The Fire Department wants <br />to ensure that they can turn north onto the drive aisle, which may require some modification of the <br />existing parking lot island. <br />Kiosk. The plan includes an information/business directory kiosk. Due to costs, this may be constructed <br />in a future phase. <br />Handicapped parking. State Code requires a certain ration of handicapped parking spaces, based on the <br />total number of spaces provided. For 26-50 spaces (the size of the proposed parking lot), 2 handicapped <br />spaces would be required. Although the staff comment letter incorrectly recommended 1 space, 2 should <br />be added. This will reduce the number of spaces to 27 off street spaces. <br />Lighting. Parking lot lighting will need to be provided that ensures that the lighting not drop below 3 fc <br />average. <br />Storm water. There is no requirement to retain storm water on this site, in the opinion of the City <br />Engineer, because this parking lot represents no change from the previous, 100% impervious surface. <br />This parking lot is outside the 300 foot shoreland boundary. <br />Landscaping. The plan shows additional trees and an enhanced pedestrian way. Further details are <br />required, and will be approved. by staff. <br />GENERAL INFORMATION <br />Location Existing Use Comprehensive Plan Current Zoning <br /> Designation <br />Subject Vacant Old Town Downtown District <br />Property <br />North King Avenue Old Town Downtown District <br /> Parking Lot <br />South Downtown Old Town Downtown District <br /> businesses <br />East Downtown Old Town Downtown District <br /> businesses <br />West Elk River Meats Old Town Downtown District <br />APPLICABLE REGULATIONS <br />Conditional Use Permit <br />N:\Departments\Communiry Development\Planning\Case Files\CUP\CU 12-06 HRA DT Pazking Lot\CU 12-OG SR to PC 410-12.docx <br />
