STM Development <br /> May 25,2004 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Overview <br /> The applicant is proposing to construct a 7,900 square foot multi-tenant building that <br /> includes a Class 2 restaurant (Taco Johns). The restaurant will occupy about 2000 sf. and <br /> includes a drive-thru;the remaining 5,900 sf.will be leased out to other businesses. The <br /> additional tenants have not been identified at this time. <br /> The lot is 40,000 square feet. It is currently a mix of undeveloped open space and <br /> parking/drive aisles. This site was identified on the approved site plan for the Elk River <br /> Crossing PUD as a future building pad. <br /> Analysis <br /> Site Plan <br /> • Parking and Access <br /> The site plan utilizes the existing entrance into the Home Depot parking lot and will be <br /> access through the Home Depot lot.The drive aisle for the drive-thru intersects with the <br /> existing drive aisle into the Home Depot lot then loops around the building.A landscaped <br /> peninsula is being constructed at the main entrance. This will provide additional stacking <br /> area for vehicles waiting to exit out to Zane Street. The parking area in front of the building <br /> is being reconfigured. Seventeen parking are being removed to provide space for the drive- <br /> thru access. However, 10 additional spaces are being constructed in front of the building. <br /> There will be a net loss of seven spaces. This net loss should not have a negative impact on <br /> the overall availability of parking spaces. <br /> • Pedestrian Access <br /> The site plan for the PUD included a sidewalk in the median between Walmart and Home <br /> Depot parking lots. It connects Zane Street with Home Depot.The applicant will be <br /> installing that sidewalk. <br /> • Grading, Drainage and Utilities <br /> Grading, drainage and utility issues are addressed in the City Engineer's memo. <br /> • Landscaping <br /> The applicant is proposing to remove 3 trees. These trees should be replanted somewhere <br /> on the site. Possible locations include the peninsula at the entrance from Zane Street and in <br /> the median between the Walmart and Home Depot parking lots.No new trees are proposed. <br /> The applicant should submit a landscape plan for the area around the building. <br /> • Building Elevations <br /> S:\PLANNING\Case Files\2004\CU 04-16 Taco Johns\CU04-16PC5-25.doc 2 <br />
