Memo to Mayor and City Council/CU 00-12 July 17, 2000 Page 2 1 will be 1.83 acres and Lot 2 will be .88 acres. Lot 2 will be slightly smaller, Lot 2 was 1.15 acres and is reduced in size by .27 acres to .88 acres. Lot 1 will be .07 acres larger. The total area being plated is 2.714 acres. Typically commercial lots are at least 1 acre in size. Since this is a PUD, the Council has some flexibility in approving lot size less than one acre. The right-of-way for Zane Street will be shifted to the west in order to accommodate design changes in the street layout. Both lots will share a common access from Zane Street. No lot will have direct access from either Highway 169 or 181st Street. The original plat for Elk River Crossing included a 50 foot wide UPA easement along the west property line that is not shown on this plat. The plat should be amended to show this easement. The City Engineer has reviewed the plat. His comments can found in the attached memo. Issues identified in his memo include changing the name of 3rd Street to 181st Avenue, including a 5 foot trail easement along the south side of 181st Avenue and vacating the existing easement along the lot line between the original lots 1 and 2 and along the old right-of-way for Zane Street. The easement vacation will be considered in a separate application to the City Council. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed preliminary and final plat. Conditional Use Permit Site Plan The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for a car wash/convenience store and a quick lube facility. The proposed convenience store is about 1700 square feet and includes 5 gas pump islands and a canopy. A portion of the proposed canopy over the pumps is located within the UPA easement. A flag pole is also proposed along the west property line within the UPA easement. A more suitable location for the flag pole may be up near the front of the building. The applicant will have to receive permission from UPA before installing the pole and include information on the height of the pole. The applicant will have to provide written permission from UPA regarding the encroachments into their easement before the city will sign off on the site plan as proposed. The car wash is fully automated and will be attached to the convenience store on the back or southeast side. The cars will stack up around the perimeter of the site, enter from the north end and exit from the south end. S:\PLAN NING\SCOT'I'~CU0012.DOC
