City Council! CU 04-30 November 15, 2004 Page 3 169 with the third facing the intersection of Holt Street and 197" A venue. Given the proposed landscaping and the change in elevation, in addition to the ordinance requirements for light levels at the property line, the sign facing this intersection will not adversely affect residents north of 197'" Avenue. The landscape plan indicates a monument sign. This sign will not be allowed, as the approved development plan provided three shared monument signs and is regulated by the Elk Ridge Center Development Design Standards (p. 13 -B.8.7). Access, Parking and Circulation The site plan shows one access point off of Holt Street at the southeast comer of the property, consistent with the approved overall site plan. The site plan does not indicate any lighting of the parking lot. According to the ordinance parking requirements, the proposed plan would require 14 parking stalls for the bank and 15 parking stalls for the future retail space. The parking layout shows 30 total parking stalls. The plan meets the required amount of parking. Each drive-thru lane can accommodate the required stacking area for 5 vehicles per lane. It may be inconvenient that there is no traffic lane around the building and patrons could get caught behind the drive-thru traffic as they try to exit the site. Staff would recommend that signage be required at the entrance for the drive-thru indicating that it is "drive-thru traffic only." Landscaping The ordinance landscape requirements would be 30 trees (linear feet ofperimeter/40); 15 overs tory, 8 ornamental and 7 coniferous. The landscape plan meets these requirements. Grading, Drainage and Utilities The grading of the site will be in manner that places the bank lower than the street intersection of Holt Street and 197'" Avenue. With the street higher along the northwest comer of the site, this will provide additional screening to the properties to the north of the proposed project. Grading, Drainage and Utilities are addressed in the City Engineer's memo. Standards for Issuance of a Conditional Use Permit The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can be ordered only if the use at the proposed location: 1. Will not endanger, injure or detrimentallY affict the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or the public health, safety, morals, comftrt, convenience or general welfare of thetneighborhood or the ciry.
