James Thompson, CUP Page 2 March 22, 1994 IIIvehicles, will take place on this parcel. The following comments will outline the particulars of this request. PARKING AND VEHICLE DISPLAY The proposed business will be required to have a minimum of seven parking spaces. This would include parking for the retail use as well as the auto sales use. The parking drive and display area is required to be e hard surfaced and striped. The existing use has a hard surfaced drive and 40 x 50 blacktop pad near the entrance of the building. The applicant is proposing a hard surfaced vehicle display area on the west side of the parcel. Please note the attached site plan which shows the extent of the hard surfaced area. The existing entry to the site is currently 12 feet in width. If the conditional use permit is approved, staff would recommend that the entrance is increased to 24 feet to accommodate two way traffic. LANDSCAPING The landscape ordinance requires one tree to be planted for every 40 linear feet of lot perimeter. The three acre site has several existing trees of various sizes and species located throughout the parcel. Most are located toward the • rear of the lot. The number of existing trees would meet the requirements of the landscape ordinance, however, the City should still require that trees be planted along the east and west property lines. The applicant has submitted a landscape plan which shows 10 maple trees being planted along each side yard to act as a buffer to neighboring properties. He also proposes to plant some shrubs with associated rock gardens along the Highway 10 entrance area. BUILDING The existing building is 22' x 50'. The building is not proposed to be expanded, however, the applicant has done some indoor remodeling. The building will be required to provide bathrooms which will necessitate the addition of a well and septic system to this site. Although the well and septic system requirement is a building code issue, staff would like to stress the importance of this issue and note to the applicant that a reasonable deadline will be required for the installation of the septic and well system. As you can note on the attached site plan, the existing building encroaches on the side yard setback to the east property line. A permit can be issued to remodel the inside of the building, but any addition to this building cannot be • added unless a variance is obtained or the building is moved. pcjt.doc
