Memo to Planning Commission/CU 98-27 <br /> November 24, 1998 <br /> Page 3 <br /> 0 Both entrances to the site should be improved with pavement and <br /> appropriate striping and the gate removed. <br /> Parking Lot <br /> Two parking lots exist on the site. One adjacent Furniture And Things and <br /> the paved entrance. This lot is paved and in fair condition with no striping. <br /> The applicant is considering using it for a used car lot which is not permitted <br /> in the I1 zone. <br /> The second parking lot is old bituminous and gravel with poor drainage and <br /> no striping. This lot is accessed from the paved entrance with a sloped <br /> driveway and by the secondary gravel entrance that services the loading <br /> dock. <br /> The parking lots will need to be paved, striped and accommodate handicap <br /> accessible stalls. The parking requirement for commercial recreation is one <br /> stall per four expected patrons. The lots appear adequate in size, however <br /> the applicant has not provided staff with expected numbers of guests or what <br /> other uses the building will have. <br /> Landscaping and Site Improvements <br /> • <br /> The site has a few trees, unmowed grass, a failing retaining wall with <br /> erosion, no irrigation, and undefined parking lot. <br /> A site plan with landscaping and parking lot improvements should be <br /> submitted as a condition of approval. As part of the site improvements, the <br /> retaining wall should be rebuilt in a manner to minimize erosion. A buffer <br /> along Cleveland and on the west property should be provided to protect the <br /> adjacent residential district. The dumpster presently located on pavement <br /> between the pole barn and the Furniture and Things building should be <br /> contained within the building or screened within an enclosure. <br /> Signage <br /> The applicant has not indicated his intentions regarding the location and size <br /> of signs. Any new signs will require a sign permit and city staff review. <br /> Building Issues <br /> The proposed mix of uses under one roof may present some building issues. <br /> The use will be required to conform all applicable building and fire codes. <br /> t <br /> \\el kriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\stevewen\pcmmo\cu98-27.doc <br />
