Mayor and City Council / CU 02-18 June 17, 2002 Page 2 Overview The request consists of a one-story 7,500 sq. ft. building. The entire building will be treated with an Exterior Insulating Finish System (EIFS) and Rockface Concrete Masonry Units (CMU). The floor plan of the building will consist of two tenant spaces. Tenant A will consist of 2,572 square feet and Tenant B will consist of 4,800 square feet. Building setbacks are not defined in the Elk River Crossing PUD but the building meets the C3 zoning setbacks. Design Standards The bottom two-thirds of the facades will consist of glazing and 4" & 8" rock face CMU. The upper one-third will be treated with EIFS. The entrances are clearly defined with metal canopies and the there will be EIFS cornice work and CMU pilasters on the facades to break Up the surface. The proposed design meets the design standards for Elk River Crossing. The allowable signage, as defined by the Elk River Crossing PUD, is two wall signs per principle building. They are proposing 3 signs per tenant, which exceeds the maximum allowed. A trash enclosure was not indicated on the site plan. The Elk River Crossing PUD states "dumpsters should be within an enclosure constructed of the same materials and colors as those used in the building." Landscaping The submitted landscape plan does not meet the City's requirements. There needs to be a total of 22 trees: six conifers (which they meet), five ornamentals (which they exceed by two) & 11 overstory trees (which they do not meet). They should provide five additional overstory trees. A monument sign has been indicated on the site plan near Zane Street which is not placed 10-feet from the property line. The location of the sign should be placed 10-feet from the property line so as not to obstruct sight lines of vehicular traffic and it should be placed so vehicle bumpers will not come in contact with it. Parking and Circulation Based on the square footage of the building and the City's requirement of one parking stall for every 200 sq. ft. of floor area, a total of 38 parking stalls would be required. The proposed layout exceeds this requirement with a total of 74 total stalls. The minimum 10' setback from the property line is also maintained. Three (3) handicap-parking stalls are required for the building. The submitted site plan does not indicate any handicap-parking stalls. For parking lots with 51-75 stalls, there is a minimum requirement of three accessible stalls. The site plan will need to be revised to provide the required spaces.
