Memo to City Council]CU 9827cc December 7, 1998 Page 3 Parking Lot Two parking lots exist on the site. One adjacent Furniture And Things and the paved entrance. This lot is paved and in fair condition with no striping. The applicant is considering using it for a used car lot which is not permitted in the I1 zone. The second parking lot is old bituminous and gravel with poor drainage and no striping. This lot is accessed from the paved entrance with a sloped driveway and by the secondary gravel entrance that services the loading dock. The parking lots will need to be paved, striped and accommodate handicap accessible stalls. The parking requirement for commercial recreation is one stall per four expected patrons. The lots appear adequate in size, however the applicant has not provided staff with expected numbers of guests or what other uses the building will have. Landscaping and Site Improvements The site has a few trees, unmowed grass, a failing retaining wall with erosion, no irrigation, and undefined parking lot. A site plan with landscaping and parking lot improvements should be submitted as a condition of approval. As part of the site improvements, the retaining wall should be rebuilt in a manner to minimize erosion. A buffer along Cleveland and on the west property should be provided to protect the adjacent residential district. The dumpster presently located on pavement between the pole barn and the Furniture and Things building should be contained within the building or screened within an enclosure. Signa~e The applicant has not indicated his intentions regarding the location and size of signs. Any new signs will require a sign permit and city staff review. Building Issues The proposed mix of uses under one roof may present some building issues. The use will be required to conform all applicable building and fire codes. \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\stevewen\ccmmo\cu9827cc.doc
