CUP, Sandy Chenvert Page 2 January 14, 1993 IIIand 4 : 00 - 9 : 30 p.m. It appears that classes would not be offered late morning and early afternoon. In addition to Ms . Chenvert, staff would include one other employee at any given time. Two conditional use permits were previously issued in the Cody Square building. In 1987, Mark Zieska, received a conditional use permit to operate Z ' s Upholstery, which is no longer operating in this area. In 1990, Richard Duggan, received a conditional use permit to operate Marketech, a light manufacturing firm, which is still located in the building. Also located in the building is an office for Wm. John Builders . LANDSCAPING When the original conditional use permit was issued in 1987 , the current landscaping ordinance was not in place, however, one of the stipulations of the original conditional use permit was to plant shrubs on the west side of the building. Staff inspection of this site indicated the shrubs have been planted. The Planning Commission should make a determination on whether this conditional use permit will trigger the new landscaping ordinance requiring 1 tree per 40 feet of the perimeter of this site. The 1987 site plans shows adequate green space surrounding the hard surface parking lot to • accomplish the required landscaping. The original conditional use permit also stipulated the dumpster be screened from view. This has not been done and should be added as a stipulation of this request. SIGNAGE The applicant has requested a wall sign approximately 40 square feet in size. The sign ordinance in the C3 zoning district allows wall signage at a rate of 2 square feet per linear foot of building frontage. The request is within the guidelines of City ordinance. DRAINAGE The request does not involve the addition of any hard surfaced area to the site, therefore, drainage should not be affected. PARKING According to the Elk River City Code, parking requirements for athletic clubs or fitness centers should be provided at a ratio of 1 space for each 200 square feet of floor area. Ms . Chenvert plans on leasing approximately 1,200 square feet, therefore, 6 parking stalls would be required. The site currently contains • 74 striped parking stalls . Because the existing uses in the building have low parking requirements, there appears to be adequate parking for this use.
