Analysis <br /> Staff received revised drawing late in the week, not permitting full review of the revised drawings. The <br /> building is subject to building and fire codes,which may require improvements. <br /> The parking lot is of sufficient size to accommodate the needed 22 parking stalls. However, the parking <br /> lot needs to be improved,including curbing,islands, and striping. <br /> Storm water <br /> The drainage plan shows surface water being directed to a drain that connects to the septic system. This <br /> appears inaccurate,but will need to be verified and adjusted if so. Current storm water management rules <br /> apply, and surface water will need to be controlled on site. This may include the addition of a retention <br /> pond. <br /> Landscaling <br /> A landscape plan prepared by a landscape architect needs to be submitted. Based on a lot perimeter of <br /> 1,171 feet, a total of 32 trees are required. However,because of the existing trees noted above, the tree <br /> requirement is halved. Proposed trees should include 8 shade trees, 4 evergreen trees, and 4 ornamental <br /> trees. The property needs to be irrigated, and should be shown on the landscape plan. <br /> I <br /> Signage <br /> The applicant proposes to re-use the existing freestanding sign footing from the previous property <br /> owner's sign. Since the structure is permitted, non-conforming, this is permissible. <br /> Future Use <br /> The FAST study, completed in 2010, anticipates changes to the Highway 10 corridor,including closing <br /> the 167"'Ave/HWY 10 intersection and constructing a new intersection approximately 300 feet further <br /> south. While these improvements are not scheduled for the next 15 years, they will likely impact the <br /> parcel and will include future right-of-way acquisitions. <br /> Car Dealers License <br /> A current dealer's license, approved by the state of Minnesota, must be on file before the sale of vehicles <br /> can begin. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> None <br /> Attachments <br /> • Location leap <br /> • Comment letter dated August 23, 2013 <br /> • Applicant narrative <br /> • Site plan <br /> • Building plans <br /> I <br /> I <br /> N:\Departments\Community Development\Planning\Case Piles\CUP\CU 13-10 Keith).Steiss\SR 13-10—Auto Sales_Keith Steies_9-10-2013.docx <br /> i <br />
