Memo to Mayor and City Council/CU 00-12 July 17, 2000 Page 3 The quick lube facility will be located northeast of the convenience store/car wash near the intersection of 181st Street and Zane Avenue. The building will be about 2000 square feet in size and include 3 service bays. Parkinq and Access The site will be accessed from Zane Street via a shared driveway. The driveway will be shared between Lots 1 and 2 and will consist of one lane in and 2 lanes out. There is about 79 feet (stacking room for about 4 cars) from Zane Street to the driveway along the rear of the convenience store. During peak traffic times, congestion could be a problem once both lots are fully developed. The shared access between the convenience store and the quick lube should be revised. The shared access is too wide and confusing. Once into the site, traffic movement will be a "free for all". A median and directional signage should be provided. (see attached drawing) There are 9 parking spaces, including one handicapped space, provided at the front of the store and 3 spaces at the north end. There are also 10 spaces available at the pump islands. The parking requirement for a convenience store is 1 space for 200 square feet of floor area. For this store 8 spaces are required. Parking provided exceeds that which is required Stacking for the car wash will be around the perimeter of the site. There is the possibility of some internal circulation problems. The northern most gas pump is too close to the car wash stacking lane. A car parked at the north side of the island will not have room to pull out if cars are queued up to use the car wash. Some modifications should be made to the parking and stacking area on the north end of the car wash to better delineate traffic flow. (see attached drawing) There are 6 parking spaces proposed for the quick lube facility and stacking room for about 12 cars leading into the service bays. Parking and stacking room is adequate. A handicapped space should be provided. Building Elevations The exterior of the building will be rock face block with a 4' wide brick accent stripe. The blocks should be integrally colored. There will be a metal clad roof and fascia. The building will be shades of brown. The applicant will have colored renditions for the meeting. The entrance to the convenience store will be on the northwest elevation Details of the canopy have not been provided. However, the development standards for Elk River Crossing includes design criteria for canopies. The design criteria states that canopies located over pump islands are allowed provided the architectural design, colors and character of the canopy shall be S:\PLAN N ING\SCO'I-I~CU 0012. DOC
