Memo to Planning Commission Page 2 May 28, 1996 would be subject to the cross-access and cross-parking reciprocal agreements • for all tenants in the Elk Park Center planned unit development. Site Plan Review The Elk Park Center Planned Unit Development agreement sets forth that all new construction be required to obtain a conditional use permit for site plan review. Staff has reviewed the plans and offer the following comments for the proposed Midas Muffler development: A. Site Plan 1. All building and parking areas have been designed to meet the required setbacks as set forth in the approved development plans for Elk Park Center PUD. 2. The approved development plans for Elk Park Center identified a building footprint of approximately 6,000 square feet. The proposed building is approximately 2,000 square feet less than that; therefore, meets the development plan guidelines. B. Parking and Circulation • 1. Based on the size of the proposed auto repair business, a total of 13 stalls are required according to city ordinance. The proposed plan provides a total of 28 parking stalls which well exceed the City's ordinance requirements. 2. The primary access to this site most likely will be from the south off of the main entrance drive off of Freeport Avenue. To avoid additional traffic conflicts within the primary drive aisle, it is recommended the first parking stall be eliminated to help avoid vehicles from backing up into the main drive aisle. Furthermore, this parking stall could be moved to the northwest portion of the lot and restablished. 3. Depending upon the timing of completing the main parking area for Elk Park Center, Midas Muffler may have to improve their driveway entrance off of Freeport Avenue and install curb and gutter around the perimeter of their site. Again, all of these improvements may be completed as part of the Cub Foods Store parking lot and would therefore, not be required by Midas. • C. Landscaping s:\planning\pc\cu96-8.doc
