PROPOSED PETSMART 18050 ZANE ST,ELK RIVER MN Venture Pass Partners, LLC is pleased to submit for review and approval,a proposed retail/commercial development on the currently un-developed property between Zane St and Hwy 169, immediately West of Walmart and Home Depot. On behalf of our Tenant,we are proposing to develop and construct a new 17,886 sf Petsmart retail facility along with all related site improvements. The proposed plat also includes future development opportunity on Lot 2 as well as an Outlot. This property abuts similar retail uses to the North and East, Highway 169 to the West,and commercial/industrial uses to the South. The proposed development is consistent with the applicable C3 Zoning District. Typical hours of operation for this facility will be 9 am to 9 pm Monday through Saturday,and 10 am to 6 pm Sunday. Total associate counts will be determined per the mix of part-time and full-time employees. We can provide additional information on employment assumptions. The lot 1 Petsmart site incorporates 90 parking stalls,or 5.03 stalls/1000 sf. This is consistent with requirements of both the Tenant and the city. The Elk River Crossing Design Standards have been incorporated into our proposed design, including the use of neutral earth tone colors,textured integrally colored concrete masonry units and stucco. The proposed building materials and colors are consistent with the neighboring buildings in the Elk River Crossing PUD development. Pilasters provide for articulation of facades over 100 feet in length so that no uninterrupted length exceeds 50 feet. Articulation of the facade as proposed with 24" projection exceeds the requirement for projection/recess depth to be minimum of 3%of the uninterrupted length. The main building entrance is clearly defined and visible,an design elements include recesses/projections,canopy,raised parapet and storefront glazing. Building wall signage(illuminated channel letters and logos) is proposed on three building elevations; North-over front entrance and facing parking field,West-facing Hwy 169, East-facing Zane St and adjacent retail. Signage as proposed is consistent with allowable signage areas. No outdoor storage is proposed with this development.
