Memo to Mayor and City Council/Morcon February 9, 2004 Page 6 Layout The applicant is proposing the following buildings: · 24,154 sf. retail building · 15,257 sf. retail building · 18,000 sf. retail building · 23,375 sf. retail building · 4,500 sr. Class I restaurant · 7,000 sf. Class I restaurant · 3,616 sr. bank. The applicant has not indicated if the retail buildings will be multi-tenant or single tenant. Building elevations have not been provided. However, design standards will be included in the PUD Agreement and the building elevations will have to be consistent with the approved standards. The applicant is proposing a north woods theme; the design and construction materials will reflect this. Because of the way that the buildings are located on the site, there are not any "back sides" to the buildings; all four sides of the buildings are visible. An outside display area 190 feet by 100 feet (19,000 sf.) is situated on the northeast side of the building located on Lot 1. The applicant has not designated what the area will be used for. However, there are typical issues that need to be addressed with outdoor storage such as noise, lighting, screening and fencing. The building located on Lot 6 is setback about only about 25 feet from the trail along Hok Street. Additional building details and plantings should be included along this area. The outside display area for the building located on Lot 1 is setback 18 feet from the same trail; additional screening should also be included in this area. Streets and Parking As part of this project the applicant is proposing to construct Hok Street as a frontage road along Highway 169. It will connect with Hok Street at 194~h Avenue in the southeast comer of the project and intersect with 197~h Avenue at the north end of the project. The applicant will also realign the intersection of Irving Street and 197th Avenue. All the access drives into the ske will be from Hok Street. There will be no vehide access from Irving Street, adjacent to the single family residences. The bank will also have access from Holt Street. By limiting access into the project only from Holt Street, traffic impacts on the adjacent residential neighborhood will be minimized. The project includes 540 parking spaces; 537 parking spaces are required by code. The parking areas are broken into smaller lots by landscaped islands and buildings, thus avoiding the large unbroken parking lots typically found in commerdal developments. There is a main drive aisle that loops through the site connecting the two access points from Hok Street. S:\PLANNING\Case Files\2003\P 03-16 Elk Ridge CenterkP03-16CC2-9.doc
