Elk River Development Page 3 <br /> August 23, 1994 <br /> • The applicants are not requesting site plan approval for the first phase at <br /> this time. An application will be submitted at a later date when a specific <br /> tenant has been identified. <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> • Traffic <br /> The development presented to the City in 1990 raised considerable <br /> amount of discussion regarding Dodge Avenue and Elk Hills Drive. At <br /> that time, staff's recommendation was to have Dodge Street improved, <br /> along with Elk Hills Drive, to a condition that can adequately handle <br /> the additional traffic generated by the commercial development. That <br /> same situation applies today with the commercial development <br /> proposed for Outlot A, Deerfield Third Addition. <br /> In the attached memo from Terry Maurer, the conditions of Dodge <br /> Street and Elk Hills Drive are discussed. With this development <br /> proposal, it is anticipated that the issue of upgrading Elk Hills Drive <br /> and Dodge Avenue will need to take place to accommodate the <br /> • projected vehicle trips for this area. Furthermore, it may be <br /> appropriate that the City Council consider an improvement project <br /> including Dodge Avenue, both north and south of Elk Hills Drive, and <br /> Elk Hills Drive between US Highway 169 to accommodate future <br /> residential and commercial growth projections and additional traffic. <br /> • Site Plan <br /> The site plan has been designed to orient the development towards <br /> Highway 169 and away from the residential area to the east. Four (4) <br /> free standing buildings with a total of 29,687 square feet is proposed, <br /> which is approximately 5,300 square feet less than the commercial <br /> project proposed in 1990. <br /> • Uses / Hours of Operation <br /> Three (3) land uses are proposed: general/service retail, auto repair, and <br /> a sit-down restaurant. The auto repair and restaurant use are not <br /> consistent with the previous approval in 1990, however, the retail <br /> element is consistent. Given the proximity of this commercial area to <br /> the residential to the east, uses and business hours that are compatible <br /> IPwith the residential area will need to be considered. <br /> erdevel.doc <br />
