Elk Park Center Page 5 October 19 , 1993 • STAFF ANALYSIS ON CURRENT PROPOSAL The most recent set of plans submitted by the developers have been reviewed by City staff, including Terry Maurer, City Engineer. Staff ' s review of these plans has been based on previous memorandums from Bill Weber, Planning Consultant; public comment received at the June 10, public hearing; and analysis done by staff on the most recent prepared plans . A vast majority of Mr. Weber' s previous comments have been addressed in one way or another. The attached memorandum from Terry Maurer provides a laundry list of outstanding items . Several of Terry' s comments are minor and can easily be addressed before the City Council meeting or at the time the Planning Commission reviews the specific site plan proposal . As previously mentioned, the plans have been revised accordingly to satisfy staff ' s major concerns . However, there are a few outstanding issues on both the preliminary plat and conditional use permit package ( i .e. , site plan) which need to be highlighted and further elaborated upon. PRELIMINARY PLAT • - The three lots which comprise Block 1 (Taco Bell, Perkins, and First National Bank) have dramatic grade changes making the proposed parking grades four to six percent. Depending upon whether an access is granted to Lot 1, Block 1, this portion of the plat and site plan may need to be revised. PARKING CALCULATIONS - According to City ordinance and staff analysis, adequate parking has been provided with the following exceptions . The Taco Bell, Perkins, and Midas Muffler sites fall short of the parking requirements . However, Midas Muffler can adjust their site plan and Perkins can conveniently share parking with the bank which has an excess of parking. On the other hand, Taco Bell has no convenient shared parking ability nor the opportunity to add additional stalls . PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT The Planned Unit Development Agreement will eventually need to be prepared covering such items as the developer' s responsibility to complete the project, development standards • such as setbacks, signage, landscaping, and permitted uses . Essentially, the agreement will contain information that will allow easy administration of the development, flexibility in the types of uses ( i .e. , highway business commercial uses) , and preserve the integrity of the Planned Unit Development.
